Hedley - "Anything"

[Devin]

New single from their upcoming album. Sounds good!



I know Hook may be interested.

I do love it! I didn't know if anyone else would care so I didn't bother making a thread. Overall I do think it's their weakest lead single though.

This, especially after releasing tracks such as Invincible, Kiss You Inside Out and One Life which were far more upbeat (even Invincible's verses built up.) I feel like there is nothing special or noticeable about this one, but we'll have to see the other singles to determine whether or not this can define how their album will look.

In my opinion, "Cha-Ching" was a pretty weak lead single, and "Don't Talk to Strangers" was also weak to a degree. Both were catchy, but were quite poor in comparison to such lead singles as "On My Own," "She's So Sorry," and "Invincible."

I think Kiss You Inside Out was one of their strongest singles, I also loved the Famous Last Words era with Never Too Late, Old School, and For the Nights I Can't Remember.

Agreed about Cha Ching and Don't Talk to Strangers being pretty weak, but they were still catchy.

I liked "Cha-Ching." It was a catchy song and I think the references to reality TV/fame worked well. I'm not a big fan of "Don't Talk To Strangers" although that wasn't a lead single anyway.

I'd rank them:
1. Invincible
2. On My Own
3. She's So Sorry
4. Cha-Ching
5. Anything

Famous Last Words is still my favorite album of theirs.

5. Anything

Their follow-up singles are usually much stronger than their leads. Does anyone know why their last album just stopped? The first two singles were big enough hits, and then they re-released their album with "Kiss You Inside Out" as single #3, then the album just went away. I'm not sure why they didn't at least release one more single.

I'm trying to think if I know any of their other songs besides "Don't Talk To Strangers." I loved that one, but this is quite different. Love this song too though. I'll have to check some of their other music out.

That's awesome! You should. You may have heard "Kiss You Inside Out" or "Perfect" on Hot AC radio if you listen to it. Those peaked around #23 or so on that US chart.

As for songs to check out, you really can't go wrong with their singles. Invincible, For The Nights I Can't Remember, Never Too Late, She's So Sorry, Trip.

This is definitely a grower. I think I'd now put this at #2.
