I am starting to feel this will be a good era for Gary.Not sure about Number 1 but he will achieve platinum sales at a worse case result. It is likely outside the lead single he wont really have another hit single but that appears standard with many artists these days. If he promotes well and plugs the albus left right and centre he will without doubt make yet more improvements to his solo chart record.

Hope so!

The album cover is being revealed day by day at 10am. Looks like we are getting his album name a word a day as well.

The first word of the album title is 'Since'

Any ideas what the rest of it could be? Maybe Since You Asked?

According to those who have heard the Elton duet (being played on Radio 2 by Chris Evans this Friday btw, with Gary in the studio) it's a massive track, so perhaps single No.2 and another hit, after Let Me Go?

 

 

Really interesting read:

Gary Barlow has announced details for his upcoming new album.

 

Since I Saw You Last will serve as the Take That singer's first full studio album since 1999's Twelve Months, Eleven Days, and will be released on November 25.

 

'Let Me Go' will be the first single lifted from the album, to be released the week before on November 17 through Polydor Records.

 

The single is described as an acoustic guitar-driven song with a catchy chorus. The video was directed by his 'Sing' collaborator Ben Winston in New York City.

 

Sir Elton John will feature on the track 'Face To Face' on the LP, which was recorded at his own Future Studios and producer Steve Power's TOP Studios, with string arrangements recorded at Abbey Road Studios.

 

Gary Barlow will support the album with a UK tour taking place in April 2014.

 

The tracklisting is as follows:

 

1. Requiem

2. Let Me Go

3. Jump

4. Face To Face (with Elton John)

5. God

6. Small Town Girls

7. 6th Avenue

8. We Like To Love

9. Since I Saw you Last

10. This House

11. Dying Inside

12. More Than Life

Fantastic news!! He's playing the O2!

 

Preorder his album via Universal to get access to presale

Requiem is apparently the song he wrote with Rob for this album he said on Chris Evans this morning. And 'Let Me Go' is according to him his song about those moments with Dawn where he thinks 'Why am I married to you? Why are we still together?'

He said he wondered why she put up with him, said she was too good for him, rather than wondering why he was married to her, I think. There's also a writing collaboration between Gary and Robbie called Wedding Bells, on Robbie's swing album.

And he also filmed a video for the song with Elton, so could potentially be the 2nd single

He confirmed that it'll be the 2nd single on Chris Evans. I imagine that'll get a January or February release a la 'Up All Night'/'Kidz'...

I loved how they played Open Road this morning as well! It sounds even better with age

I agree! That's been my favourite since the tour last year...speaking of which do you reckon they'll announce more dates? I've pre-ordered for the pre-sale but I'm unsure whether or not to go for the only O2 date yet.

I'd be surprised if he didn't add more dates. He's probably holding some back like TT do

You see that's what I'm thinking...but then again how quickly did last year's tour sell out? I can't remember if they all went in minutes or not?

It sold out in minutes. Apparently they could of sold all of the dates out 6 times over

Ah. I think I will use the presale in that case ha. Do they email the code to you?

Everything is looking well for this album to do well, i can see it selling quiet well and achieve a top 5 position at worst. If the Elton duet is second single Gary stands a chance f having 2 hit singles of this album which would be great. I know i always rabbit on about this, but i really think Lie to me should be added as a bonus or hidden track, i think its a song that many many more people need to know about as i regard it among the best songs he has ever recorded including Take That material.

The codes for pre-sale will be emailed on Tuesday Afternoon. :)

Yeah I wish more people had exposure to it, but it was great hearing Open Road getting a dusting off this morning; I wonder if it picked up a handful of sales on the back of that play.

 

Silly question, but have you heard it yet? Response seems to be very positive!

 

Big piece on Gary in the Evening Standard tonight so if anyone has the chance to pick up a copy defo go do it!
