Following the success of his debut single Please Don't Let Me Go, X-Factor 2009 runner-up Olly Murs has unveiled the video for his second single, Thinking Of Me.
The track follows the same sound and style of his debut release, and still keeps that summery vibe regardless of of the fact that summer is now over. The vocals are still up to Olly's high standard but hugely let down by the awful lyrics. The theme tells the story of an old love in which Olly is recalling memories from their time together, and although they are no longer a couple the old love is still thinking of him. It's cheesy but is works purely on the fact that this is Olly Murs and he can pull it off.
The video itself has less of a story to it than the previous video, and is comprised mainly of different shots of Olly dancing about on posts and fences (held up by strings, or super human abilities? This is still up for debate...!) whilst singing about his memories. Every now and then, he catches the eye of a woman who always ends up looking like his past love. It's less interesting to watch than the video for Please Don't Let Me Go but who needs scenery, the video has OLLY MURS in it for flip sake, that should be enough to watch!
The single drops on 21st November 2010 in the UK, followed by Olly's debut album on 29th November 2010. Check out the video below and let me know what you think...!
Olly Murs, X-Factor 2009 runner up, it set to release his debut single "Please Don't Let Me Go" on 29th August 2010. The track has been floating about over the radio for a few weeks now and substantial hype is building, and rightly so as it is a bit of a tune! Slight reggae-ish pop with a strong summer chillout sound may contribute to making this release a chart smash for Olly.
The video has just premiered, and to match the summery vibe to the track, is set at an old English manor party. Olly looks slightly edible, there is a small dance routine by the backing dancers, Olly wears a hat (of course!) and looks edible, there is a little bit of humour thrown in and at the end of it, Olly still looks edible.
Keep your eyes open for it on the music channels the upcoming weeks / months, as this is sure to be around for a while! Check it out below...
British pop girl-group The Saturdays unveiled their latest music video this weekend for the new single, Missing You. This is the lead single from their third album, Headlines, which is due for release in August and available for pre-order now.
After a bit of a rocky second album campaign with Wordshaker, the girls are hoping to re-launch themselves off the back of a new album and a fresh set of tracks. The tracklist for the new album is yet to be revealed, but it is rumoured to contain previous singles Forever Is Over and Ego, but with Wordshaker containing some brilliant pop gems, I'm hoping they aren't trying to wipe the album from their memories.
So, the new track itself is quite summery, borders on ballad / mid tempo stomper, and is actually a little trancey and euphoric in some places. I do feel the track needs something more though, it feels like an element is missing. Maybe a memorable middle-eight or a beefed up chorus will do it, but Missing You is still a decent track and will hopefully do well for the girls.
The video, however, is a bit lacklustre no matter how summery it may be. The dance routine seems a little clunky for a track with this sound and the beach shots of the girls look like a Thomas Cook advert with a slightly higher budget. They all look lovely though, so well done them at least!
Hot off the heels of previous single "Naturally", Selena Gomez and co have premiered their new video for the lead single of their yet to-be-titled sophmore album, Round & Round.
It seems Naturally has only just relented its assult on the UK charts, so this seems like a quick turn around for me but thankfully it is not in vein.
Round & Round copies the electro-pop sounds of their previous single, and the better tracks from their debut album Kiss and Tell. This is, of course, a good thing as the teen rock genre could only take them so far and limit their fan base.
The track, whilst not as strong as "Naturally", still has radio friendly hit written over it and Selena sounds as good as ever. The video on the other hand was shot in Prague, and see's Selena play a teen spy looking less a lot less teen than ever. She looks stunning and even takes a shot at a bit of platinum blonde with one wig!
Here's the video, expect to see it rotating along the music channels soon!
After much hype, Lady GaGa finally premiered her latest music video epic for the single Alejandro today. Following suit from the ten minute video for her previous single, Telephone, this one weighs in at just over eight minutes.
I'm not quite sure of the concept or story behind this one as of yet, I need to give it a few more watches. All I can say is there are a fair few dancers, men in fishnet tights and heels and GaGa's costumes are increasingly morbid. GaGa does show off a few more complex dance moves than before though, which is nice to see!
The video for Kylies' brand new single, All the Lovers, premiered at 12:01am all over the world. This has been a highly anticipated release, with a lot of Kylie fans feeling let down still after her last album campaign, "X".
If hearing the full track just a couple of weeks ago wasn't enough to blow a Kylie fans mind and remind everyone why she is the queen of all Pop, watching this video will certainly do it! The concept is clear, the visuals are a complete work of abstract artwork, Kylie looks stunning and the video fits the track to a tee. There's even a giant inflatable elephant, what more could you want?
Check out the video below and let me know what you think...
After a long wait, the video for Lady GaGa's single Telephone has finally premiered! Telephone is the second single taken from Lady GaGa's The Fame Monster album, it features Beyoncé, and the music video is just under 10 minutes in length and continues on from the story of the Paparazzi video - epic! Just as we thought she couldn't top the almighty Bad Romance video, Telephone came along and showed us the error of our ways!
Do Wah Doo is the first single from British singer-songwriter Kate Nash's second album My Best Friend Is You which is due to be released in the UK on 19th April 2010.
The track takes a more uplifting sound to that of a lot of the material found on her debut album Made of Bricks, so hopefully Kate can gather a few more fans this time around. She seems to have taken a much more carefree approach to the song and the video to go with it, which hit the internet on 4th March 2010. Apologies for the delay with this one!
