Exclusive: Matt Cardle performs new album track 'Slowly' - video

Matt Cardle has performed a track from his debut album exclusively for Digital Spy.

The singer gave an acoustic rendition of 'Slowly', which features on his debut album Letters.

Discussing his creative input on the record, which he co-wrote, Cardle said: "If it doesn't go well - and hopefully it will - I suppose I can half-blame myself.

"If someone gave me a load of songs to record then I could have easily had a go at them instead! Having made it this way means I believe in the album a lot more than I otherwise would."

Letters, which is out this week, is on course for a place in the top three on Sunday's Official Chart.

Cardle recently admitted that he preferred being on record label Columbia to Syco, claiming: "Syco's a very pop label and I know X Factor is quite pop, but I'm not pop."
