A good first single and performances of it could elevate it a bit but that's more or less what I'd expect they are aiming for.
I really hope London Records treat him right because Syco truly ignored Westlife in the last couple of years. I'm pretty sure he will also release 2nd single before the album comes, that would be a great move.
Also, it seems that people are interested in his solo stuff as he was trending worldwide on Twitter on the day his website launched - so hopefully, he will have more success that Ronan had with his last album.
really! i missed a lot on twitter... i havent known about the trending topic... it's been a while since i visited twitter then..
what is the trending hashtag?
But I love his voice ridiculously much, and I am ridiculously excited to hear his solo music, and looking forward to any future tours! So I hope he gets success, he has a brilliant pop voice, he's so good at what he does, just flawless.
me too, i am a fan of his voice, one of the best male singing voice i must say, the only key for me is the BEST CHOICE OF SINGLE TO BE RELEASED.
i am wondering what kind of first single is he going to release, slow-love song (common-but his best genrefor his voice) or upbeat (trendy today, also fits to his voice)
Anyways for Shane it will completely be down to the song. There's a loyal fanbase anticipating it so I think tour sales and album sales will be decent, but singles could be a struggle. Radio weren't supportive to Westlife, he really needs to get them on side for a proper hit. It's too hard to judge without hearing anything it literally could go anyway.
thanks
You're welcome. It was mentioned on Twitter that Shane was trending again in the UK, but I don't think he did worldwide.
You can read about his first newsletter here:

I'm glad he keeps mentioning how he is writing his own songs - that gives me more and more hope that his album will be completely original, if not even completely written/co-written b Shane.
wow.. it is giving me high hope that he will be successful with his first solo album, i really do hope he gets to sing and release very good singles for it will certainly make or break him, i do hope he collaborates with other great songwriter and be able to create a song that fits his voice, fits his personality and all.
he also gets to perform in x factor wow! that's a great promo too.
by the way what's the trending topic in uk?
I hope he will have a X Factor slot even though he isn't with Syco anymore - since Walsh is still his manager and a mentor on the show, I think he could pull some strings to get him there. I remember him saying last year how Shane will appear on X Factor bootcamp and that he will sing on the show. Hopefully, this is still in the cards as this would be a great opportunity for nice promotion.
I'm sorry, I don't understand - you don't see the point in what?
i believe he will?? based on the website you posted, it was posted there that he will have a performance in x factor 2013
oh i see... i thought it is confirmed
cant wait to hear shane, hearing him making me feel westlife once again
yes, I also fell bad for him. I find it sad that some people slag him saying he deserved it and whatnot - .he just tried to invest with his brother, but it all backfired. He isn't the first or the last man who tried something that failed in the end. It is not like he bankrupted because he spent too much money on luxurious things.
I hope he does well with his solo career, but it is a fickle business so who knows.
I'm no fan of Westlife but I felt sorry for him when I heard about his bankruptcy. Hopefully his solo career will take off. What kind of music is he going to be dong?
Nobody knows that for now - I find it ridiculous that it was reported how he would go country just because he is recording the album in Tennessee:rolleyes:
Personally, I think he will go pop/rock route. but we will have to wait and see.
