I've been listening to an amazingly talented singer from Blackpool lately called Rae Morris. Since Aiden is also from there, I can't help but fantasize about what a collab between the two would be like. She's apparently worked with Tom Odell on one of her upcoming tracks, as well as Clean Bandit, but it was this song with Fryars that truly made me swoon over the idea of what a song with Aiden might be like.

Well, a girl can dream!
I saw Rae supporting Bombay Bicycle Club & also at the same festival Aiden was at - The Great Escape back in 2012. In fact the first time I saw her... April I think - I had gone to see Bombay Bicycle Club but really only to see Lianne La Havas who was supporting, and yet Rae ended up being the best thing about the night!

She's great & was one of my highlight discoveries musically that year, but certainly the kind of music she was doing then was nothing remotely like the kind of genre Aiden was going for... and subsequently Aiden has gone even farther away from what he was doing, and yet still farther from Rae's work in my view...

Although listening to this collaboration as well as a snippet of her music now, I hear how Rae too has moved on. So I hear what you're getting at. I wouldn't say no to any Aidenmusic (or maybe I would since I never grew to love the EP...)

But... I preferred what Rae was doing before too!!!

Anyway, happy she is doing well & though I haven't listened to her music recently I did hear about her forthcoming album & tour & obtained both for the future when they happen. I hope there's some of ^^^ kind of stuff on the album/to be played though.... ...???

Incidentally, recently I put on a promo version of Misty Eye in the car after not having listened to the album for ages... and I don't know whether it was just as I hadn't listened for ages, but to me, Aiden's voice sounded higher in the mix on this promo CD (& thus it sounded even better!)

So long ago everything was now.... Wistful....

He was a strong talent for The X Factor, they didn't know how to cope with that type of artist though.

Totally love the new song! http://hypem.com/track/2cj9y/Aiden+G...tually+Married

https://soundcloud.com/search?q=Aide...ally%20Married

Not the sort of music I normally listen to but it grabbed me right from the start. His voice is so distinctive, you know it's him right from the off.

It's gradually creeping up on the Hypem likes and reviews, so far, are positive

Remix of Giving It Up posted yesterday http://hypem.com/track/2d9qe/Aiden+G...+(Wizard+Remix)

Really like this one, especially the first bit. The remixes Aiden's done for all his songs have all been really different

Another new one, Animal. It has trumpeting elephants in it!

Aiden's voice sounds great here I think. Easily my favourite of his new stuff.

100% agreed that Animal is the best of his new tracks, love it!

His voice sounds fantastic and the chorus is so damn catchy. What will he surprise us with next?
