Maybe contact them again and say you wanted to order the signed copy straight away but the Croatia option wasn't available and now that it is the signed copies aren't and that's not really fair because you were sort of locked out of buying one. You never know, they may get him to sign one more rather than loose the sale. Or they may not... but it's worth a try?

 

I tried that and I get this:

 

Order Submission Error!

Unfortunately an error occurred whilst trying to place your order number C805198 on our payment system hosted by our merchant partner Worldpay. This error was due to your bank or credit card company have refused to authorise the payment for your order. No money will be taken from your credit card or bank account and your order cant be processed.

 

You should contact your bank or credit card company and ask them why they refused the payment, before placing a new order.

 

 

 

I just don't feel like contacting the bank, I give up :unsure:

 

Though, maybe I just can't pre-order, maybe thats the issue...

 

I will definitely buy the album, that's for sure! With the EP, it's ok if I can't.

That sucks. Maybe wait for it to go onto Amazon you never know they may put signed copies on there too. :)

I doubt they will put the signed ones on Amazon.

 

If I don't buy it in the end, I would be grateful if you could tell me how the EP looks like - if Shane will write a thank you note, what photos are etc. :)

Here is Shane's interview at Magic fm, I uploaded all the talking parts:

The important things we found out is that:

 

- the sound of the album will be pop, folk and country

- it will be more uptempo, only 4 ballads

- the album comes out in November

 

 

I'm surprised that there won't be more ballads, but this makes me happy though :) He needs to separate from Westlife and I think that is the right way to go.

Here is the long interview with Shane on 2fm:

The beginning is about Westlife that we know. but it interesting to hear about the bankruptcy - I had no idea he lost that much of money and that he had to buy off his wedding ring. It is so sweet that he wrote the entire album about his wife :)

Just to let you know they put up Shane's EP on Amazon - the price is 4.12 pounds but I would have to pay an additional 4 pounds for postage and packing. So, giving 8 ponds for 4 tracks is a bit too much for me I'm afraid. Maybe I'll buy the album though... It just makes me sad that I can't buy EP from his website where the price is altogether 4.76, wish I knew why why I can't do it.

 

Anyway it is currently at #10 on Amazon bestsellers singles list - I think that is very good!

Wow, he is at no. 2 today!

Shane posted a small clip of the song Everytime on his Soundcload page:

What do you think?

 

I like it a lot - I love how he moved away from Westlife sound, the song is very catchy

 

Yes, finally! The single can be also pre-ordered on iTunes:

I was worried a little they won't put it there... Hopefully this should help with the sales.

 

Official Video, it's a bit different to the leaked version.

It has been confirmed Shane will perform at The Bournemouth Air Festival on 30th of August.

Hopefully someone would post a few Youtube videos :)

Yes, I really like this song!

 

EP sampler, I'm absolutely loving 'Everytime'.

 

There's also a Remix EP to go along side the main one.

Great to see that. Shame it's not doing so well on the singles chart on iTunes, very curious about tomorrows mids really hope it's doing alright for him, fingers crossed for a top 20, personally I'm loving the EP.

Yes, I'm loving it too. Everytime is so fun and uplifting, but I also love Once because of the lyrics and arrangement - sounds much better than the acoustic performances. Today's Not Yesterday reminds me of Westlife days, it is a great ballad.

 

I think it would be realistic to expect a Top 20 single, that wouldn't be so bad as we all know how hard is to start a career after boyband days.

 

I read on the Internet the other day that his second single will be ballad All You Need To Know and he will perform it on The X Factor on October.

 

That is the song he has been talking about a lot, he thinks it is the best from the album and it is his personal favorite - so I can't wait to hear that song :)

 

Here are the acoustic performances if you haven't seen them:

 

 

 

 

And he sang Lonestar cover Amazed on the radio:

I really did expect a much stronger chart performance for his solo career, i am baffled by its under-performance unless the physical and ep sales really drive its position upwards he will struggle for a top 30 place on Sunday.

Shane is #7 in Midweeks :)

 

I wasn't expecting seeing him so high considering he is slipping down iTunes Singles chart. Hopefully he can stay in Top 10 until Sunday.

Wow shocked but delighted to see him at #7 was expecting low top 20 and to slide to low 40's by Sunday. Would be great if he could remain top 15 by Sunday now though, keeping everything crossed he may just hold onto that top 10 though. He's got a gig on Friday I think where apparently he's going to perform Everytime along with the single, can't wait for that as there my two favourites from the EP. BTW I agree that Today's Not Yesterday channels the westlife sound, I'm glad he's not completely turned his back on it but hoping there'll be more of the 'Everything To Me' sound too.

Hopefully the gig will help him and I hope we get to see it on Youtube :)

 

By the way, the single was played on Radio 1, WOW! They never supported Westlife. Here is Shane's tweet about it:

 

Was excited to hear my 1st single on Radio 1 today ..Thank you so much @bbcr1 for your support!!! 🎶🎶Amazing!!
