August 23, 2012 UK No comments

It’s all in the video, so we won’t spoil it for you. Enjoy!

however if you don’t want to watch the video. The band have announced Live While We’re Young as the first single of their second album. You can pre-order the single from midnight tonight (UK time), while the as yet untitled album is scheduled for a November release.

The brand new single ‘Live While We’re Young’ will be out on 30th September.
‘Live While We’re Young’ sees the global superstars once again teaming up with songwriters Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub & Carl Falk and the result is unmistakeably One Direction. ‘Live While We’re Young’ is pop perfection – an immediate, energy packed song mixing rock undertones with smooth harmonies, about living for the moment.

The eagerly awaited second album sees One Direction collaborating with a whole host of first class writers and producers. As well as reuniting with the likes of Rami Yacoub & Carl Falk and Savan Kotecha (‘One Thing’ & ‘What Makes You Beautiful’), Ed Sheeran and McFly’s Tom Fletcher, the album features input from Dr Luke (Katy Perry ‘Teenage Dream’, Taio Cruz ‘Dynamite’), Shellback (Maroon 5 ‘Moves Like Jagger’) and Toby Gad (Beyonce ‘If I Were A Boy’). The album is sure to be another huge smash release from a truly international pop phenomenon.

In Spring 2013 One Direction will begin their sold out World Tour in the UK which includes a massive nine shows at London’s O2 Arena.

The single ‘Live While We’re Young’ succeeds ‘One Thing’ taken from the band’s debut album ‘Up all Night’. Watch the video below:

Ones to watch: One Direction – One Thing

February 8, 2012 Music Reviews No comments

There’s been written a lot about Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, or better known as One Direction. It seems ages away since they became 3rd in the talent show ‘X Factor’ and since leaving the show back in 2010, their career has gone upwards.

Three top 10 UK singles and a very successful album already under their belt, the boy band are ready to officially release the 3rd cut from ‘Up All Night’, called ‘One Thing’.

And aren’t we lucky, the boys are taking us on tour through London on a red vintage bus. ‘One Thing’ is for us, the best of singles the boys have released so far. Their previous single ‘Gotta Be You’, good for a 3rd place in the UK Charts, sounded too adult and too serious for a couple of lads, who should be having the time of their life instead of trying to sound like heartbroken adult men.  While ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ was catchy, it did feel as if they could do better. ‘One Thing’ however shows us for the very first time, the true potential these guys have and by now we absolutely adore the One Direction boys. It’s catchy, an easy to sing along chorus which easily gets stuck in your head, hand clapping and sweet, sweet lyrics that will make any fan melt away and wish these five were singing about them.

The video accompanies the song really well, as it comes across as homage to all their passionate fans of the guys. It also shows how passionate they are about their fans, and it makes the video just that bit more special. They are extremely popular and with their eyes set on America, they are surely to become the next big thing globally.

One Thing is released 12th February in the UK. Click here to buy your copy from iTunes http://bit.ly/yu31vy

let’s start our news down under where Kylie Minogue has confirmed she’ll be performing at this years Mardi Gras in Sydney. . Kylie’s performed at the event 14 years ago and is thrilled to take the stage again. The singer kicked off celebrations for her 25th anniversary in the music industry this week. While Kylie’s celebrating her career, Belgian/Aussie Gotye has been crowned the number 1 in the ‘Triple J hot 100′ with ‘Somebody that I used to Know’ ft New Zealand songstress Kimbra. While ‘Somebody that I used to know’ is gaining radio play in the UK, Europe is ready for ‘Eyes Wide Open’. Both songs are tracks on the latters latest album ‘Making Mirrors’.

Mel B has reportedly announced, during an Australian Breakfast interview, that the Spice Girls are reuniting for the Queens Jubilee on July 4th. A possible Spice Girls reunion has been anticipated in the media for quite some time, with rumours about the girls performing at the Olympics but have been denied by both Mel B and Mel C.  The group also sees their Musical ‘Viva Forever’ (written by Jennifer Saunders) being launched this year. An official announcement from the group itself has not yet been made.

X Factor winner Alexandra Burke has teased the video for her upcoming track ‘Elephant’. Be prepared to see a sexy Alexandra busting out some great moves. The video footage can be seen here. Alexandra Burke’s ‘Elephant’ will be available to buy on March 12th. Other X Factor news for Marcus Collins, who’s had the radio premiere of his ‘Seven Nation Army’ today. The review can be found below. Less good news for Harry Styles of One Direction and Caroline Flack (Xtra Factor host) who have reportedly ended their relationship. The boys of One direction will be appearing into an episode of Miranda Cosgrove’s ‘Icarly’, which surely will make them a tad more popular to crack the American music industry. And last but not least, according to Cheryl Cole’s manager Will.I.AM, Cheryl will never return to the show, as she doesn’t need it apparently. Awww….

Last but not least Britney Spears and Shakira, are according to some close sources to Shakira’s management, preparing to duet. The duet should be released later during the year. Shakira has previously collaborated with Beyonce on ‘Beautiful Liar’. And since Britney has gone the dancey routine, we don’t mind a collaboration between these two in the same style.
