Will Young's new video is here
Published Monday, Aug 18 2008, 10:23 BST | By Nick Levine | 68 comments
Anyway, 'Changes' is all about being stuck in a rut - "It's like a record going round, yes it's going round, going round, going round," Will sings at one point. "I know I should wanna take it off but I find it hard." The video captures this sense of desolation and quiet despair perfectly and somehow finds an excuse to put a cow in a petrol station. The whole thing oozes quality, but brace yourselves before you hit play because there's a bit of a shock at the end.

The single is crap and the video is awful (he's so wooden!). Only hope, for his sake, that his wish comes true! Guess now that Cliff is no longer around, the older ladies will love this one!

I hope the rest of the album isn't as bad as this single. Very disappointing. Its drab and so repetitive.

Sorry but disappointed at Wills comeback single Will reckons this is his best album yet but i find this track quite monotonous and boring , i was wanting it to end.The vid was better than the music track.But nothing to get excited about.

dull! dull! dull! An extremely disappointing release from Will, especially coming after a three year break. Will has become blandness personified. Boring, safe, predictable etc. etc. etc. we've heard it all before - and whatever happened to that once great voice?

This song is nothing special and the video is a mess. That recent comment about having `brainpower' however, is just the kind of comment from Will Young fans which make people want to see him fail. You love to give the impression both you and he are more intelligent than other artists and fans of other artists. He may have been to University and you all may have more money to throw around than most, but that doesn't make you any more intelligent. In fact it shows less common-sense and makes you look pathetic.

[quote] As for the video, it's the type of complex cinematic promo Will excels at - thought provoking, full of imagery and demanding some brainpower from the viewer. [/quote] How very patronizing. Just what you'd expect from a Will Young fan. This single is completely boring.

This is not a song I would wish to hear more than once.It is hardly upliftng.I find it pessimistc and dreary. Will has to do much better and he should think of a original title.

Changes is the launch of what is shaping up to be Will's most personal and introspective album yet. That doesn't necessarily equal depressing, those insiders who've heard it say it's quite jazzy and dancey and Changes is more "old school" Will compared to the rest of the album. He's been going down a storm at the festivals, and bear in mind Will's fans didn't know he'd be there until all the tickets were sold out so it WASN'T all his "devotees" packing the tents out (or writing the positive reviews).

This is probably Will's worst single to date. Surely he could come up with something better than this, and the video is so dull and depressing. If this is a sample of what to expect from his new album then I will not be buying it.

I liked this, builds up nicely and is memorable from the first listen. It's not going to take the chart by storm, but its good to have will Young bringing music out again after his acting turns.

it's a droning mindless dirge. He used to be good, but he's gone right off!
