    Savan Kotecha was behind this ?

     

    Seems fairly obvious now. First The Club Is Alive, then Start Without You and now this

    I do like the song and it is pretty catchy, but I was expecting a lot better considering who she's been working with

     

     

    He didn't write it.

    EXCLUSIVE: First Listen: Shayne Ward's new album

    DS presents an exclusive preview of the new Shayne Ward album, which is so hot off the press that it doesn’t even have a name yet. You want the good news? Well, someone – a shaven-headed someone who may or may not have won The X Factor a couple of years ago – has obviously been listening to a lot of Justin Timberlake and Rihanna recently. This person might just have been practising his dance moves too. What’s more, we’d hazard a guess that he’s been indulging in a fair bit of jigginess of late. But there’s some bad news too: the album’s not out for another six weeks. And there's nothing about nearly-drowned midgets on it. Sob!

     

    ‘If That’s OK With You’

     

    The album’s first single is co-written by Max ‘Since U Been Gone’ Martin, but there’s not a scorching guitar riff in sight. Its shuffling, calypso-style rhythm track and effortless melody make it the perfect soundtrack to the last days of summer. Good job that it’s out at the end of August, eh? The track’s love-it-or-hate feature is the vocoder effect on the last line of the chorus, which makes Shayne sound a bit like Stephen Hawking’s teenage daughter.

     

    'Track 2'

     

    The album’s big ballad! The spare production – featuring occasional electro blips and some understated strings – houses a killer vocal from Shayne. In fact, he hits a note at the end that’ll have a certain Mr. Timberlake quivering in his converse. But what should we make of this lyrical nugget: “If we had babies, they’d have your eyes. I’d fall deeper watching you give life.” Is Shayne suggesting that the sight of a baby’s head squeezing out of his girlfriend’s unmentionables is enough to make him fall head over heels? Eek.

     

    'Track 3'

     

    Is this electro-R&B club banger an answer song to the Pussycat Dolls’ ‘Don’t Cha?’ Over marching band drum rolls and propulsive synth washes, Shayne coos “you make me wish I didn’t have a girlfriend”. This one’s sweatier than a marathon runner’s sneakers - but in a good way. It makes you imagine Shayne whipping his top off in a packed nightclub which – given the evidence to the left – wouldn’t exactly be unpleasant, would it?

     

    'Track 4'

     

    This mid-tempo electro-pop smoochathon is about a girl who keeps Shayne “up on the phone all night”. Phwoar! This tune dares Shayne to show off his finest JT-style falsetto, and he doesn’t shirk the challenge. The best song about phone sex ever.

    This song is probably the popiest song on the new record FYI. For those who were hoping for more 'cool'..wait until the 2nd 3rd and 4th singles. he does some falseto stuff on this album that justin can't even do

     

    yer it will defo drop next week :( didnt think it had much airplay but was hoping for top 50 at least :cry: hopefully it will climb again when the video is premiered in a few weeks ;)

     

     

    IT hasn't even been sent to radio yet guys!! There's a new single mix coming and a new video that was shot over this past weekend. The fact that it was 61 without even going to radio yet or a proper mtv video is really good. It'll hit radio in march!
