Yog Posted April 18 Posted April 18 The forthcoming album "Light It Up" – out on 9 August – is Will Young's return to "joyous pop". The 10-track collection sees the acclaimed singer-songwriter team up with new collaborators, pHD, the Scandinavian pop production/writing duo who has worked with Little Mix. He also reunites with Andy Cato of Groove Armada and long-term writing partners Jim and Mima Elliot (who worked on Will's defining album, "Echoes"). 1. Falling Deep 2. Light It Up 3. Feels Just Like A Win 4. Midnight 5. Me Without You 6. The Worst 7. No Man's Land 8. Talk About It 9. Everything But You 10. I Won't Let You Down 2
Yog Posted April 18 Author Posted April 18 Love this lead single and the album being 10 tracks isn't bad but making people wait nearly 4 months for said 10 track album is pretty ridiculous 1

TheseThingsHappen Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Light It Up is cute. But Midnight and Falling Deep were miles better. 1

Yog Posted August 9 Author Posted August 9 (edited) I like this, much better pop album than Lexicon and will definitely saving the best tracks for the full release.. Feels Just Like A Win Me Without You Talk About It (this needs to be an single, bop) Everything But You I Won't Let You Down Are the highlights. Edited August 9 by Yog

mickeyderon Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I've loved Will's last few albums but I'm really struggling to connect with anything this time. Maybe it's the absence of Richard X...

I can understand, Richard X truly understands what an Will Young should sound like tbh, I think Will just wanted to stretch his artistic visions hence the switch up.
NoAngelus Posted August 17 Posted August 17 I only liked Echoes from him, should I even bother with this one?

Yeah it's clear he wanted to work with other producers, I feel there are some which would be more suited. As an example think someone like Stuart Price or James Ford would have done a great job.
