October 22, 201014 yr New single will be "The Silence" (new version). I heard it on the radio today (not the song, the info). If this is true, then that's good. Releasing the original version of The Silence would flop terribly. It's old, and everybody has heard it now. David Guetta managed to get to #1 with a 5th single by releasing, and more importantly, promoting a remix of the song. While it was similar to the album version, it was different enough that it was new to people, and that people who already had the album would by the song again. This is well demonstrated by the fact that the song jumped 41-1 when the sinlge version was released. If this is true, then it should be a hit, especially now that they've had a year to reflect on the track, guage the public's views on the track, and hopefully make it even better! To be fair, lots of artists release good alternate versions to their singles, the problem is that they just don't promote it at all, so nobody ever knows about them, or buys it.
October 22, 201014 yr Author If what you heard is true, I think that's a better idea than releasing the old version of 'The Silence', it should make more fans who have the old song also want the new version, a good example could be the single version for 'All Night Long'.
October 22, 201014 yr Let's just hope the 'new version' doesn't mean guest rapper this time. oh this made me giggle something serious :lol: ooooooh i SO hope this is true! This is Alex's 2nd best song, just behind All Night Long imo
October 22, 201014 yr I don't think there'd be a rapper in The Silence. Hopefully they'll just improve the instrumental (I do think there's quite a bit they could do with it).
October 23, 201014 yr New single will be "The Silence" (new version). I heard it on the radio today (not the song, the info). Heard it on which radio and who said it-more details please.I assume the new single will go to radio soon and hopefully the video will be out a month before release as it is finished.Alex in Asia finishing her promotional tour in Hong Kong. http://www.hiphongkong.com/calendar/live_m...y_artistry_2010
October 23, 201014 yr Let's just hope the 'new version' doesn't mean guest rapper this time. :lol: That would be hilarious a rapper on a song like 'The Silence', maybe lil wayne? :P I hope it is 'The Silence' love that song. She's going a promo tour in asia, but is she getting anywhere with it, benefiting at all? :unsure: Probably with next album best to just focus on UK as worldwide hasnt happened for her..unless launching her in America with American X Factor..

He was saying about forthcoming releases and he said about the repack and the new single. Nothing else.
October 23, 201014 yr It's impossible that a local greek radio knew this and the whole of britain didn't.
October 24, 201014 yr Author We need to hear news about the re-release and the single very soon, the re-release is out in just over a month, so I assume the single will be released a week before. We'll need news on the new single at least by the end of next week.

We'll need news on the new single at least by the end of next week. Alex said on twitter that we will know next Friday what the next single will be.I imagine the song will be released to radio soon as well.I can almost bet my life savings on the fact that everything is likely to be pushed back by a week or two this being Syco.
October 24, 201014 yr I can almost bet my life savings on the fact that everything is likely to be pushed back by a week or two this being Syco. Doubt it. They're obviously going to be releasing the single / album around an X Factor slot.
October 24, 201014 yr the Re-release is now being released on 6th December so the single should be out by the end of November. woo X Factor performance cant wait!! Edited October 24, 201014 yr by X gunners X

October 24, 201014 yr I remember "The silence" performed on Paul O'Grady last year. Wasn't it the one with Peter Andre taking over from Paul for a day? Anyways, would've said it earlier, but will say it now. It should've been the follow-up to "Bad boys". It's an amazing song.
