Just been looking at Leon's Bebo. There is a comment from someone who has been working with him on his new video??? I don't know if she's referring to DCTL, but her comment was only a few hours ago, so...

Excerpts:

was great working on the new video with you on monday, really enjoyed it and kept us highly amused!!!....scotland!! being shouted in the background every 2 mins haha! anyway just wanted to say thanks again and keep working on those pirouettes!! remember to spot on the 2nd turn!!

anyway was lovely working with ya hun, cant wait to see the video and hope it does well!!

Could this be something for Children in Need? ...or something to do with Creative? Next single?? Ooh *all curious now* questions, questions lol

Very interesting. Do you think Leon is shooting a video to promote "creative" as his next single? It seems the most likely of the album tracks to have dance moves in any video used to promote the song.

Morning.

What what ?..video..must be for 2nd single...and looks like a release in December.

Scottish reference could mean anything..maybe they ahave lovely night skies....still hoping for Stargazing.

Great that the tour has been sorted, so they were re-jigging to include some more Scottish dates - sensible.

I agree QM. Leon is VERY popular in Scotland and concerts already in the diary were selling very well

Well, so longs as a single gets airplay - tv and radio it can only help promote the album...so yes a good time, although I do worry about all the Xmas tunes proliferating the airwaves...but 2 weeks before Xmas is usually peak album sales period of the year, you cnan sell in two weeks what it may normally take 6-12 months.

Here's hoping the single has a Xmas feel to it...............................Stargazing.

I second that emotion

Photo of Leon and Rhydian in 'Star' magazine this week.

I'd prefer Creative as the next single.

Felcro · 12-11-2008, 16:08

What are the advantages/disadvantages of a double "A" side i.e. Stargazing/Creative?

I dunno? It may be a bad move...two of the most commercially attractive songs on the one CD. But then...it could work for that reason?

Good news about the 'new vid' possibility.

well we do want people to buy the album, although in this age of iTunes, I think people do cherry pick tracks off albums to a certain extent.

Double A side - sounds so quaint in the age of the single track download. I think this time next year Sony wont be bothering with physical singles.

I was reliably/unreliably told the winners song sold as well as it did because it also contained the video, something else to consider?

Marta · 12-11-2008, 16:33

I'd prefer Creative and Stargazing as two separate singles - in that order.

Just counted up all the Diana threads on the first two pages on here - and there are
twenty-five!!

I'd also like to see Ordinary Days as a single

Greetings all you lovely LeonLovers

Just popping in to let you know the Leon Neon is still shining as brightly as the sunshine here. It's a gorgeous, very hot day and right now, I'm sitting outside listening to..........Right Now!

My fave - 'Could Do Better' now playing, just love that track sooo much.

Loving all the news - thanks to all for posting. Am very intrigued re the new vid and possible single.

I love this song - it's one of my favourites and so deserves this type of treatment!

ZipGypsy · 12-11-2008, 18:11

Could Do Better is a brilliant track...one of my early faves. Just love the sultry tune and brilliant vocals, as always, of course.
