Olly Murs - Thinking Of Me
Olly Murs is set to release his second single on the 21st November, another happy go lucky track titled “Thinking of Me” (also includes bonus track called “Sophie”) – video below.
The video features the cheeky chappy selling ice cream in the rain – not a great idea eh Olly?! He decides to close up the shutters and take a walk beside the river. Strutting his stuff on a variety of bollards (nice balance act mate) Olly is joined by a bevy of beauties as he waxes lyrical about Great old London town.
His self-titled debut album “Olly Murs” follows on the 29th November.
Another track to feature a reggae background/tint – whatever you want to call it. I personally think it’s another infectious song that will have people smiling, after all that’s what Olly does best so why change now?
So do I think this is a ground breaking song ? No I don’t – Will it win an MTV award? I highly doubt it but will you tap your feet, sing along in the car and enjoy it for what it is – most definitely. That is of course assuming you like Olly’s style to begin with. You either liked him on X Factor and his little jigs or you didn’t.
There’s nothing I’ve seen in his first two releases to suggest he’s doing anything wrong. Epic are guiding him down the cheerful reggaesque and I for one can’t see anything wrong with it. He makes bright videos, belts out a tune or two and makes you smile – what more could you ask for in this economic hellhole of a society?!
One thing I did notice, and I think his management have been clever here – both “Please Don’t Let Me Go” and “Thinking of Me” single releases also feature two tracks you won’t find on the self-titled album due for release on the 29th November.
Thinking of Me gets the thumbs up for a cheerful track even if he’s talking about his ex finding someone new (and he ain’t happy!), catching a number 86 bus and running away from her dad after stealing a kiss!
4/5 – Murrtastic!
