Posted June 25, 201312 yr Conor Maynard promises "new sound" for second album Conor Maynard has teased a "slightly different" sound for his new album. The singer is currently working on the follow-up to his 2012 debut Contrast and admitted that he has taken a more grown-up approach with the music. "It's kind of annoying because if I could get it out now and have it done, that would be good, but it takes time," Maynard told Digital Spy. "I definitely want it to be worth the wait. "I've grown up a bit since the first album, so music is going to be slightly different. My musical interests always change, so there will be a new sound." He added: "There will be older and more meaningful songs - I definitely won't be singing about girls, girls, girls being all over me!" Maynard will perform live for fans on Google Hangout this evening (June 25) at 6pm as part of this summer's 'Share a Coke' campaign. "It's going to be hilarious because I've literally got to freestyle messages my fans write, so it's going to be eventful," Maynard said. "It will show if I'm actually talented at all or not!" Coca-Cola has announced plans for another 100 of the UK's most popular names to appear on bottles across the country this month. Excited to see the direction he'll be taking with this album, I LOVED Contrast! :wub:

April 3, 201411 yr Conor Maynard has revealed a few details about his upcoming second album, describing its vibe as “Conor Maynard shirtless sexy”. The pop-R&B singer, who released his debut collection Contrast in 2012, spoke to Attitude at our 20th birthday party at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Saturday night (March 29). “It’s very different. It’s going to put me in a very different place,” Maynard said. “It’s not going to be what it was before. I don’t think people are going to look at it and think it’s a young pop album again.” When asked exactly how the album will be different, Maynard replied: “It’s a lot more sexy. I think it’s Conor Maynard shirtless sexy.” The R U Crazy hit-maker also spoke about who he’s been collaborating with on the album, whose release date has yet to be announced. “I’ve been working more with Labrinth, which was really cool,” he said. “I’ve also been writing with Becky Hill, and I’ve recorded a track sent over from Timbaland.” During the interview, Maynard went on to speak about the #cockinasock phenomenon. “My tour manager did this. He wanted to show someone the new set-up for the stage on his phone. He opened the pictures and the first thing that opened was his version of cock in a sock,” he said. “Basically he’s completely naked holding a sock that goes down to the floor, kind of insinutating that he’s got a massive penis, which he definitely doesn’t.” However, Maynard admitted that he is unlikely to participate in the viral charity craze himself, saying: “I need to think of a twist if I’m going to do one.”
