I've heard like a river. Its quite dull and totally forgetable. I'm not impressed with the two tracks from this era so far.

Will Young

 

We did receive a bit of an intriguing awakening in introduction to Will Young’s upcoming album “85% Proof” via the vibrant visuals and old skool soul throwback styling of “Love Revolution”, one that definitely placed us in an area of uncertainty of where this album was actually aiming itself. Although have since been given the insight that the thought process behind “85% Proof” relates to a creative reflection of Will’s extracurricular activities in the creative arts sense post the “Echoes” album.

 

Whether you loved it or not “Love Revolution” with all of its over-the-top wackiness did its job of creating impact and perhaps that was part of the plan all along, as the next track reveal is already here and more placed within the scope of pop sensitive balladry which has always been Will’s particular trump card. I consider it a wise move to be getting this one out so swiftly.

 

Quite possibly in direct contrast to “Love Revolution”, we have never seen Will plunge so deep into the dark themes as we see before us now in “Like A River”. Whilst, the acting career certainly comes to the fore in the dramatic video clip also.

 

This video concept relates to the legend of the Minotaur and conquering demons, but shucks Will only has to open his mouth and sing like this to captivate me.

Horses for courses. Being such a huge Kylie fan this was never going to be for you.

In a slightly darker direction from lead single ‘Love Revolution’, Will Young returns with the second promo track from his upcoming album 85% Proof and we love it. On ‘Like A River’ Young showcases the melancholy felt so deeply on his last album, his voice delicate and restrained. Ominous guitars and low percussion build around a soft piano, complimenting the stunning visual, which was directed by W.I.Z. It’s an unconventional track, one with no real structure and destination, but it’s still gripping, enticing you in with the claustrophobic production. While we still feel it could do with a synth or two, it’s definitely another good sign of where the album is heading, and proves that Young is still an A-grade popstar.

So are they going with a different lead single in Australia?

Answering myself here. Sandra on TD is sure that Aussie station has tweeted about playing Love Revolution too.

 

Island already seem to be starting to get Wil's music out there. There have been a few Spanish articles and here is a translation of one from Portugal.

 

Will Young continues to promote his new album, 85% Proof, scheduled for May 25 and succeeding Echoes , released nearly four years ago with materials such as "Losing Myself" and " Jealousy " .

 

The first dose of the record was the single " Love Revolution " , released in March , and now we have the second , "Like a River ," which also comes the clip.

 

While the music follows a more characteristic sound of the previous work of the British , the video, directed by WIZ ( "Figure 8" , Ellie Goulding ) , recounts the legend of the Minotaur and artistic way , noir and theatrical. Young clips are always a pleasant surprise !

Just downloaded mine. :D

 

Shame it wasn't the whole album by mistake :)

Nice to see the video doing well on the iTunes chart. It was 4 yesterday and still 5 today.
I love this song! I loved the "Love Revolution" as well but this song has awoken my interest for the next album not 85 but 100% :P

Here's a YouTube of an interview he did for Wave 105. He sings Like a River around 6 minutes in.
