This is probably going to HAC as his next single, but considering that's what I thought about soundtrack single "You Got Me" too, I'll start it here. Anyway, Gavin's apparently releasing a new single, "Fire," digitally tomorrow, and a lyric video is coming this week, according to VEVO. ETA: RCA just sent it out. Writers: DeGraw, Ross Golan, Johan Carlsson |

I guess the Make A Move era is over since this is a single from Finest Hour: The Best of Gavin DeGraw. It seems abrupt. I assume it's the end of his contract. This seems to be Sony's way.
But I love artist compilations so I'm curious to see whether it's just his singles or other tracks.

MAM flopped so I'm not surprised he's dropping a Best Of and moving on. He'll go indie, I'm sure.

The melody sounds very similar to something else. He might be sampling someone but can't tell who.

Absolutely loved Make a Move and Best I Ever Had. Hope this one does better because I enjoy seeing Gavin succeed on HAC.

It's one of two new songs (the other is Dolphin Tale 2 song "You Got Me") from his Greatest Hits compilation Finest Hour: The Best of Gavin DeGraw, out on October 21. (There was supposedly a third new song co-written with Harry Styles, but no word on where that went.) |

Unless the tracklist will include some of his/fan favs. |

Unless the tracklist will include some of his/fan favs. Hahaha...yup. It's only eleven tracks, so nine "hits," and some of those are questionable too (and "Finest Hour" wasn't even a single). 1. I Don't Want to Be 2. Not Over You 3. Follow Through 4. In Love With a Girl (Max Martin Unreleased Version) 5. Chariot 6. We Belong Together 7. Best I Ever Had 8. Finest Hour (New Version) 9. Soldier 10. Fire 11. You Got Me |

What's this Max Martin mess? Why didn't he put "Cheated on Me" there? |

I'd say this is one of his greatest songs ever. Hope this breaks out and becomes his biggest hit.

The track listing is definitely minimal. There were more singles that were left off as well. I think he could have gotten away with adding a few album tracks on there too to beef it up a bit and push it to 15 or 16 tracks.

Agreed, but i'm sure that there will be a Playlist down the road that will cover the rest. The Diane Warren track "You Got Me" is pretty (although nothing really special) but closes the set nicely. I love Fire so it would be great that he leaves RCA with one last hit. Thrilled to see what's next for him... |
