No matter what the budget is, Will Young always manages to make a good video. We didn’t think this would be a single as we are still waiting for “Runaway” to be released and we are growing to love “Happy Now.” Oh, and also “Good Things.” Okay, we love the whole album. Still, Echoes is as fresh as the day it was released. Get it!

Sexy Track: “Runaway” by Will Young
1So, we shrugged off Will Young’s Echoes not because we don’t have faith in him, but because we had and influx new music to sift through. But, once we got to the album it reminded us of why we fell in love with his work and why we still think he is one of the few good things to come out of reality TV. This song in particular is an undiscovered gem on his fifth album. It’s a breezy dance track with an 80s’ synth flavor and soulful vocals. Will Young is not stranger to this brand of soul. It’s a very UK thing to take great things from American soul and implement them with timely arrangement. The songs encourages flight and is very apt for those who suffer from wanderlust. It’s just very laid-back classic Will Young. This should be the next single after “Come On” if his record company’s ears are open.
Will Young talks about pop survival, “Runaway” and keeping his head down!
