February 13, 201213 yr Author FEBRUARY 13, 2012 Will Young is Losing Himself It’s been 10 years since Will Young was crowned winner of the very first series of Pop Idol. Will is definitely one of those artists who has grown a lot over the years. Last Friday Will appeared on the Graham Norton show for an exclusive performance and a chat. You get another chance to catch the show tonight at 11.35pm. The next single from Echoes, the third single of his fifth studio album – arguably his best so far, comes out on the 18th March: Losing Myself. The release will include a fantastic Bimbo Jones remix. As mentioned before, Will’s voice really lends itself for this kind of uptempo song. In the video Will is getting ready for work, looking the part, losing himself in mirror images. Simple feat looking amazing. Enjoy. http://audioaudacity.wordpress.com/
February 13, 201213 yr Thanks Sunday. :D Loving the Praise here. :dance: Auspop WILL YOUNG : Losing Myself Well looky here - the official video for single No.3 from our favourite pop album of 2011. Yes, Will Young gives good pop, especially so with the last album 'Echoes' and the singles released from it thus far have displayed Willy in all his pop finery. (That said, we're also massive fans of the album track 'Good Things'). Anyway, we digress. Will's gone all clever clogs on us for this one... Is he losing himself? Or is he slowly losing his mind? On waking, he begins to splinter into a myriad different personalities - and bodies - as he begins to prepare for his working day. The thing is, the more the minutes pass, the more incarnations appear and we slowly but surely start to see our leading man losing himself. Clever clip, borne of a brilliant idea, with awesome choreography for a great song from a brilliant album. http://auspop.blogspot.com/2012/02/will-yo..._medium=twitter Edited February 13, 201213 yr by Sweetwilliamfan
February 13, 201213 yr Definite high praise from Down Under. :D Thanks for all the Video write ups Bev and Sunday.
February 13, 201213 yr Will Young is simply a legend. FACT what a incredible track and awesome video lets hope it will be a smash hit!!!
February 13, 201213 yr Thank to Carol (NoWillpower) From a tumblr blog http://feedlimmy.com/2012/02/13/will-yo ... sic-video/ Will Young ‘Losing Myself’ Music Video by David Excuse me, you weren’t happen to be looking for the first truly amazing pop video of 2012, were you? Well, bitch, you’ve come to the right place. Will Young is one of very few British male pop stars with a knack for consistently turning out top-shelf, classy and intelligent music videos. ‘Losing Myself’ – the third effort launched from his splendid Echoes era – is no different. Here the suave pop sire delivers a stunning representation of isolation and being lost in one’s thoughts. Needless to say, it completely complements the song’s stark lyrical content, but what’s commendable is the level of production and choreography involved here. You know so many basic bitches would’ve settled for a video of them rolling about in bed for four minutes. Slick, cool and precise. I am detecting an element of Gattaca up in here. There’s a touch of classic gentlemen’s attire and grooming/daily practices – from shaving to getting suited up (using a shoehorn) and making coffee – but it is all rendered against a cool, modern living space. I love the deliberate use of cool colours in Will’s attire from the greys and dull blue in his sleepwear to the charcoal two-piece suit and almost metallic blue tie. Even the home itself is deliberately angular, cold and very polished to match the character’s icy state of mind. “Keep walking to my own beat.” There’s a splendid moment halfway through the video where you see the four characters pause and mimic Will’s actions like the old school Windows mouse trail effect you set via Control Panel. The dramatic sequence that followed with Will pacing and flailing about the darkened room, only to have his actions mirrored by one of the dancers is also pretty solid gold. It would’ve been too easy to fork out an extra grand to get special effects that create “multiple Wills” but it’s just that bit more special to see the concept achieved with well practiced choreography. Watch the flawless video for ‘Losing Myself’: Footnotes: Will Young will release ‘Losing Myself’ in the UK on 18 March. ADVERTISEMENT
February 13, 201213 yr Author [qote]New directors Will Young ‘Losing Myself’ by Henry Scholfield Monday, 13. February 2012 - 5:45 pm An excellent video for Will Young’s Losing Myself by Henry Scholfield, who has come up with a very winning concept to reflect the track – as Will’s day gets under way, he’s joined by an increasing number of Will-alikes… But what really makes it very good is the impeccable execution. Lovely photography by Canada’s regular DoP Marc Gomez del Moral, choreographed to a tee by Aletta Collins, typically watchable performance by Will Young, who makes this poor little rich boy perfectly likeable. And arguably a career-best video for Henry, with his first video for Will.

February 13, 201213 yr And arguably a career-best video for Henry, with his first video for Will. Thanks Sunday. This video is getting the thumbs up all round. :cheer:
February 13, 201213 yr Oh i'm loving this! thanks Sunday and TT..another here! nickbassett1981Nick Bassett Will Young. You continue to amaze me. The video for new single 'Losing Myself'.: http://tmblr.co/ZPCh0yGMdldGWill Young: Losing Myself (Official Music Video) Will Young has released the video for Losing Myself, the third single to be lifted from his album Echoes. I first wrote about this track back in January and my love for it has not faded since. It has in fact grown. To the point that it is now my favourite of his releases. Co-written by Ladyhawke’s collaborator of choice Pascal Gabriel and produced by Richard X, Losing Myself is a beautifully hypnotic electronic pop number, now accompanied by a mesmerising video. There are shades of Kylie’s Come Into My World in the clip, as Will’s daily routine is synchronised with several other men resembling the singer. It’s a stylishly produced accompaniment to an equally classy single. His reign continues. http://there-view.tumblr.com/post/17559386...ng-myself-video
February 13, 201213 yr There is so much interest in this. :D Russian blog. Will Young - Losing Myself Февраль 13th, 2012 February 13th, 2012 ProKostya ProKostya An interesting new product we introduced a British pop singer Will Young. The guy he is, frankly, extraordinary, and knows how to stand out from the mass of their colleagues on scene. Now he acts in the circus, the dog are trained (see previous clips), but this time he was confused in himself and took off is such a strange movie. But anyway, while listening to his songs with great pleasure, and the clips are good too! http://translate.googleusercontent.com/tra...28_97hcrA9IDXeA
February 13, 201213 yr Days like today really do make up for the quiet times. :D but I'll probably still moan on next time anyway. :P Must-Watch: Video Premiere: “Losing Myself” by Will Young No matter what the budget is, Will Young always manages to make a good video. We didn’t think this would be a single as we are still waiting for “Runaway” to be released and we are growing to love “Happy Now.” Oh, and also “Good Things.” Okay, we love the whole album. Still, Echoes is as fresh as the day it was released. Get it! http://loft965.com/2012/02/13/must-watch-v..._medium=twitter
February 13, 201213 yr What brilliant reviews! :dance: well deserved I've just seen it on tv for the first time, big screen and I love it! :D
February 13, 201213 yr Thanks Bev. I love how all these video reviews keep stressing just how brilliant all the tracks on Echoes are. :D
February 13, 201213 yr Amazing video! :cheer: Well done Will. As usual as per everything in this campaign - all finer details polished to perfection, sophisticated, classy and above anything else in his genre. Great single choice, cant deny i wouldnt have liked others but this is utterly brilliant. Another great video from a totally stellar album that i like even more now. I'd love a 4th single but can understand if they didnt do no more. This album deserves 500k sales....hope this will sort that out.
February 13, 201213 yr The video is such a choreographic delight to watch. Wasn't too sure on the single choice, but I'm sold :wub: I love being a Will fan!
February 13, 201213 yr Thanks for all the reviews. And still it/he wasn't considered good enough for a Brit nomination - beggars belief don't it. <_< Edited February 14, 201213 yr by munchkin
February 14, 201213 yr Well I just popped in to say this video is bloody brilliant but seems I was beaten to it. This is the first time my favourite has been released as a single. It was worth waiting for.
February 14, 201213 yr Awesome reviews indeed! I hope these manage to make people go out and buy the album and support the single. The video is sooooooo good! Seriously, I love it!
February 14, 201213 yr Puts a huge smile on my face reading al these comments about the video & Echoes on Popjustice. :D http://www.popjustice.com/forum/index.php?topic=21717.1635
