OLLY MURS IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW


Exactly one year after his self-titled debut album, X Factor finalist Olly Murs is set to release his second album tomorrow called "In Case You Didn't Know". I've never liked anything off the star-making phenomenon that is The X Factor but Olly Murs is very hard to dislike. I found his first pieces quite boring though, I thought it was too pop, too predictable and not different enough to stand out. But having heard the two singles off his upcoming album, I'm rather intrigued. His hit with Rizzle Kicks had a super 90's beat which I thought he killed and he's got some nice new sounds coming through. I'm hoping the album will be as exciting as a whole and I'm looking forward to hearing how he takes on his influences and develops his music into something original.

OLLY MURS FEATURING RIZZLE KICKS


I've been listening to this for a good month now and I have to say I love it. Despite his likability and undoubted talent, I thought his debut material was pretty average and I wasn't a particular fan, but this single the first off his next album is just right. A simple beat sets up for a great summer vibe and upcoming British hip hop duo add a touch of playful old school which complements the tune perfectly. These guys have actually released two singles of their own earlier this year with a debut album coming soon.

But back to the main man Olly Murs, he seems to have embraced his new lifestyle and career very well as he tries to bag his style. If this song is a preview for what's more to come then he's got me intrigued.
