"HOPES & FEARS"

Loving this video for the new single off "The Hits" Album

Will always does something interesting!

Love the song and the video is certainly different

There's a little taster of track 14 off the Hits on Amazon. Looks like Will is finishing off this stage of his career with a beautiful ballad and then it's on to his new dance/pop sound which he seems really excited about.

Can't wait to hear it.

Just love this video,and the song is really great

delboy85 · 04-11-2009, 23:31

On the 8th of november delboy85, there's a lot of big releases though, with far superior airplay and so I'm not expecting top 40 to be honest. Not with the hype surrounding Britney, Ke$ha, BEP's and Leona etc.

Keels · 05-11-2009, 06:48

Me neither Getty but I am hoping The Hits does well. I'm so chuffed that this vid is on the Hits CD/DVD edition - tis one of his best I think

Like the song but for me it's Will's worst video so far....just awful.

Puterkid · 05-11-2009, 14:29

I prefer the song to the video, but then, I do like that you can never second guess what Will will come up with

I'm looking forward to downloading the song on Sunday!

Charisma2 · 05-11-2009, 14:49

I think Will may have got the idea for this video from a comedy sketch Gareth Gates did a while ago. I thought it was quite funny at the time

Quite like the song though.

Has Gareth given up on the pop star dreams? I heard he's doing musicals. They met at one of the festivals Will was performing at, and I think Will mentioned he was doing Phantom. I've not seen any publicity though

Gareth is starring in The Worldwide tour of Les Miserables which starts 12th December, alongside John Owen Jones and Earl Carpenter. There has been lots of promotion for it and lots of very praising comments from the other stars and producers for Gareth. Really looking forward to going to see it. He's doing very well and building up quite a reputation, but I'm sure he'll come back to releasing music at some stage.

Do you see what I mean about Will's video.

Puterkid · 05-11-2009, 16:19

I doubt Will is even aware of it, TBH!

I heard the producer had the idea ages ago and was wanting Will to take up the idea. Hopes and Fears was appropriate so he finally did.

Keels · 05-11-2009, 17:39

Single's out to download on 8 November, there's also a special bundle on Itunes with live performances of Very Kind (which I love) and Love is a Matter of Distance (not so keen)

Glad Gareth is doing well with his career

Amazing · 05-11-2009, 20:18

Glad this video has been included on the Hits.

Just a shame it isn't shown more on the music channels but I guess it's very different from the same old stuff they constantly air.

WendyB2711 · 06-11-2009, 12:47

I really like the song, a lot more upbeat than some of the songs from Let it go which is the direction I think he needed to go in. Think the album will fair well when it's releases, easily platinum

Amazing · 06-11-2009, 13:55

Sun's record of the week.

SINGLE OF THE WEEK
Will Young - Hopes and Fears

This is the promotional single to coincide with the release of of Will's upcoming greatest hits. Far from merely filling a token role, it is a genuinely uplifting track which highlights his success as a credible performer and a national treasure. 4/5

Blimey, what happened to The Sun

Nice review though, awww "national treasure"

gertrude · 07-11-2009, 16:03

WOW! Will's just sang a fantastic live accoustic version of
"Hopes & Fears" on Dermot O'Leary on Radio 2 just now

LRN wasn't half bad either.

Will is a master of his craft.

Love the genuine friendship between Will & Dermot. Two lovely guys.

Puterkid · 07-11-2009, 17:00

I hope someone You Tubes that live acoustic Hopes and Fears

What a fantastic singer he is. That's real emotion!

Keels · 07-11-2009, 18:09

I think the acoutstic sessions from this radio tour have been brilliant - I'd love to have them all on Youtube

Keels · 08-11-2009, 08:16

I downloaded the bundle this morning - Very Kind is fabby

Great to have the video too, I think that will get a few plays on my Itunes

Puterkid · 08-11-2009, 19:30

I got the bundle, Very Kind and Love Is a Matter are really great additions to my live collection. I've always loved both songs.

He seems to be doing better than I expected on downloads, given the dire publicity

Even his own website hasn't put a link to the itunes track
