*Superficial comment alert* He's not good looking enough to pull this song off with great conviction.

His début album, Contrast, will be released on 30 July, presumably following a second single. The tracklist is below (with "Drowning" already available as an instant-gratification purchase):

 

1. "Can't Say No"

2. "Vegas Girl"

3. "Take Off"

4. "Animal"

5. "Pictures"

6. "Mary Go Round"

7. "Drowning"

8. "Headphones"

9. "All Over You"

10. Better Than You"

 

As much as I enjoyed "Can't Say No", I hope for something a lot less cliché from those very cliché-sounding song titles.

Edited April 23, 201213 yr by THEO.

This has been on radio1 quite a bit and I now get that instead of MorrisonsFM at work so I've heard this quite a few times this past week. Luckily I actually rather like it.

I don't understand him or who/what his music exists for. I've seen various tidbits likening him to being 'Britain's Bieber' but in entirely superficial mode, he hasn't got the looks or bravado to pull it off? (which is everything that makes Justin work/sell)

"Animal" video out today. I've seriously just fallen in love with him after listening to Contrast. Such a fun/strong album. Favourites are definitely Turn Around, Animal, Take Off, Better Than You (with Lift Off and Glass Girl the only ones that don't really stand out).

 

 

Much prefer the non-Wiley version from the album.

It's so much better without Wiley but it's a great song nonetheless and it just screams hit. If he's going for a fifth single then I can't see any other choice than Better Than You.

 

Top five:

 

1. Take Off

2. Better Than You

3. Turn Around

4. Animal

5. Mary Go Round

 

It's SUCH a good album though!

Joseph!! I'm falling in love :wub:

Fantastic, especially for a debut album! The first half is definitely better than the second half as a whole, I'd say.

Excited for the Diamonds and DYWC covers! His Starships cover at live lounge was great.

Conor Maynard has release his latest video 'Animal'. He ditches the innocent days of school-boy pop, in favour of a darker and dirtier sound, featuring UK grime star Wiley.

Talking of which, the lyrics to Another One are filthy! :lol:

 

"Said she wanna peel my banana na na, Took her to my cabana, Had to pull her g string like Santana..." :P

Ohmygod... I love this song :wub:

I still adore 'Vegas Girl' so much, it didn't deserve the chart run it had.

Animal has always been my favourite off of the album so I'm glad it's going to be the 4th single. It doesn't need Wiley on it though.

Animal is the poppiest song on the album for sure (after Turn Around).

 

It's #420 on iTunes. I'd be delighted if it can go top 10 like Turn Around did.

Animal has been added to the Radio 1 playlist for those that missed it :cheer:

 

Also how amazing is Just In Case!? I've got a new found love for this hidden gem :cry:

Just In Case is indeed rather fab! Not the best on the album like, but it's still a great song.

From vidcapper's thread:

 

Can't Say No: 245.5k

Turn Around: 224k

Vegas Girl: 103k

 

Contrast: 64.5k :ph34r:

 

Animal needs to SMASH! Moved up the B-List on Radio 1 and slowly climbing back up post NY effect (#154).

I really hope it goes top 10, I think the Wiley version could help push it there.

His worst single is his best selling one :(
