The former frontman from The Calling has returned as this one debuts in the Top 50 on Hot AC. Is it just me or has nostalgia been in full swing lately?

Is it just me or has nostalgia been in full swing lately? What do you mean? If you mean nostalgia in the sense of the return of the Calling's lead singer, color me completely uninterested. |

You obviously have enough interest to take time to post that you have no interest. Please let me hear more of that profound substance you have just served. You don't want thoughts like that to go to waste.
I meant nostalgia with Barenaked Ladies, Creed, Tonic, Train, and now this kid.
Does anyone have anything productive to say?

I think this is a good song and it deserves to be a decent hit! |

Well, Alex Band is the voice behind two of the most boring and overplayed Hot AC tracks of the 00's ("Wherever You Will Go" and the played version of "Why Don't You And I"), so I'm not interested in anything 'new' he has to offer. Hence my statement. |

I initially thought it was just OK, but now I'm enjoying it a lot more. It should make my personal top 40 next week.

I wonder why this guy waited what seems like 10 years to come out with a solo song or did he try previously and it didn't go anywhere?

Alex Band has such a deep, beautiful voice. In an era of 'higher is better', he really stands out, and in a good way, IMO.

The label was created by Alex Band (AMB Records) and the album is out now. Not sure how exactly that means flop. A self-promoted album by a guy who hasn't had a hit since 2003. Maybe read a little bit next time.
