He did also advise in interviews recently that something new would be out in time for when he supports Take That at Hyde Park in July. #bringitmurs :yahoo:

It better not be anything like his recent output which has been dire. Would prefer a years break really.

I am slightly anxious this time. I think Olly is unsure of what direction he is going with with sound so i am not so sure what to expect.

Confirmed on Twitter by the man himself that he's out in Las Vegas shooting the video tomorrow *in Elvis voice* Thankyaverymuch... :D

I'm not really as hyped for this as I would've been in the past. I think he's lost me a bit in the Never Been Better era. 'Dear Darlin'-esque smash please!

I look forward to hearing the new single. There is a part of me like you Jade, im not as excited as i usually am as Never Been Better was his most underwhelming album to date for me.

A few behind the scenes shots from filming:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks very sharp, looks like this'll be a good summery sort of video anyway!

Look like it'll be the same as pretty much every other video he's done. He really needs to do something new.

Bit like your responses to this thread then? :rolleyes:

I'm allowed to express my frustration in how Olly seems to be making no effort at all to expand his sound or image. This is his 5th album and he's shown next to NO

artistic development. So wind your neck in.

And I'm allowed to express my fatigue at you whinging like a two bob watch, so wind your neck in yourself. Single's not even out there yet and you've already made up your mind about it. The fact he's still here and on a 5th album shows he has moved on.

I'm not the only one who has posted here about not really enjoying his recent output or really looking forward to this new stuff though.

I'm very excited for a new Olly single, Kiss Me showed he was going in a new direction that I really liked and I hope he continues with that sound rather than going down the Stevie Knows route assuming that the re-release was a taster as to what could come on the next album.

I love Olly Murs and really enjoyed the Never Been Better album, but the campaign was a bit messy. He released the wrong singles and the deluxe tracks weren't up to scratch at all (the less said about 'Stevie Knows' the better.)

 

He does have the ability and talent to bring us something huge though and has done repeatedly over his career, so I remain optimistic.

Never been better did well the era was messy comparing to all his previous. I hope he does well with the new material and has good material lined up, i prefer his more upbeat songs.

rather than going down the Stevie Knows route

 

I STILL can't believe his label ever let that monstrosity of a song ever happen :lol:

For the song to make the album is reasonably acceptable as it was a re-release. The big question i have is who sanctioned it as a single, that was a terrible decision.

The song being recorded in the first place is what really is questionable.

Agree with Ryan, I am more excited than usual, as Kiss Me was a really interesting direction for him and my favourite of his singles. No more Stevie Knows BS though please.

I expect something pop-like, the first single from an album does tend to be the biggest and pop-iest (which seem to also be the most successful for him) and with summer around it'll probably be a tad more upbeat than the likes of Kiss Me and Stevie Knows (which really isn't that bad come on)
