If you watched Season 7 of the U.K. reality mega-hit The X Factor, then chances are you know contestant Aiden Grimshaw. Or if you're one of his hundreds of thousands of Twitter and Facebook fans, then- obviously- you know Aiden Grimshaw.

But if you don't know him yet, then get ready...because after finishing as an X Factor finalist and inking a record deal with Sony RCA, the 20-year-old is gearing up to officially break out stateside.

Luckily, we've got your first listen of his highly anticipated new single "Is This Love." With slick production, tons of sparkly synths, and a throbbing percussion backbone, it's only a matter of time before the track pops up at house parties, clubs, and pretty much everywhere else really soon.

In the meantime, though, give your ears a jump start below and let us know what you think!
Listen at the link!.. It's out June 3rd.

Hasn't he left it a bit long? Surely most people have forgotten he even exists by now.

He took the same amount of time as Diana Vickers and she got a #1 single and album so I reckon it'll be a matter of it being promoted well.

And her career sank within a year and she was dropped.

Its incredible. I think best X Factor release EVER.

He is going to be huge. I'm pleased he taken so long to come out with this as its created distance between him and the show.

If anything I think waiting so long will have done him a favour. Shake off the X Factor image slightly, and actually produce some good material.

Excellent. Another sure to be smash from another X Factor 'loser'. And another pin in the media voodoo doll that is Simon Cowell right now.

Now if you're come out The X Factor you gotta make a record like this to make people notice you as a credible artist. This is a surprisingly good song, I think with Aiden taking his time with his music and figuring out a sound has really paid off..... now all he and the record label need to do is promote him and the song well and he could be onto something big.

He was the one in One Direction's year who constantly got told he was "too intense" even though he wasn't particularly intense at all, just a bit awkward. Got eliminated over Katie Waissel in that year's "In case we haven't had enough headlines, here's a controversy for you" event.

Love the song, especially the first minute. It still sounds like him and something he'd be into, rather than trying to force him into a sound that doesn't suit him, but at the same time I didn't expect this sort of thing at all. Hope it does well!

WOAH.....i love it...i liked him on the show...though some performances were so intense!

Damn i am converted....i actually really am impressed with this song!

I really hope he markets himself...we are really in need of a prominant male pop performer that does what he wants to do and not what he is forced to do.

Well done Aiden!
