I think the Instagram one just has a filter on it, or a higher exposure than the one on twitter. The one on twitter is the one that appears on itunes so I guess that's the cover

You have the eyes of an artist. There is a difference.

I think the twitter one is the actual album cover. The instagram one looks like it's just uploaded with a different filter.

I pre-ordered my copy too

Hi JazzyJaney Yes, I noticed that - one has a much lighter blue background and his eyes look much darker in the other one too.... Maybe photoshop, maybe poorer quality pictures? It's going to take some getting used to, him being blue and not yellow! I might have to re-brand the website too

Ditto
Just to survive until I'll have the opportunity to have one signed in person

I ended up missing the reveal by about 45 minutes after almost 2 hours of waiting. The instagram cover is definitely darker, maybe it has more contrast as well and his eyes are almost black there. Anyway, twitter cover, which is the real one, looks great! It came out better than I thought. Changing the profile picture to this one after all this time to this was a good idea (nothing wrong with the old one).

Perhaps we should add some captions for a bit of light-hearted fun…..'but you promised I could wear the polka dots!'

I like that, bladerunner.

He's a year older now. It makes a big difference when you're young. He's now more mature and has been through the fire of experience. Go Andrea!

Nice to see you back Drek 20x. What news of Lauren?
I'm a little bit disappointed with her. Andrea always supported and praised her, then he encouraged the public to vote for her brother and she has shown no interest in his new single. She's not the only one, though. Maybe they're all waiting for the official release date or the album. I would like to see more love coming his way, though.

Nothing new about her, yet. I am surprised that none of his x factor friends haven't tweeted anything yet about Andrea's single, but I just prefer to think that they will do that when his album gets released in July. It would be the right thing to do since they seemed to be close.

Haha, Thanks Hilda. Actually I'm working on something for Andrea's Birthday! I should have it up on Instagram in the next couple of days...maybe he'll see it!

I actually prefer the itunes cover version so I'm quite happy with that. Poor Andrea, I have a mental picture of him sitting at home with a massive pile of CDs next to him, having to sign them all, one by one! I don't suppose the album is getting a vinyl release? I fancy myself a bit of a hipster you see.

Don't go there, Jazzy. I'm struggling to keep up with modern trends and I've no idea what a hipster might be.

Don't forget it's Andrea's birthday on June 17th.

Jessika, I have emailed my message to you. If you haven't received it ( as has happened before) please let me know and I'll resend it.

Such a big birthday aswell. I must get my message sent today. I may get mine sent away when I get home from work. This phone has a mind of it's own at time so I don't trust it to send it right hahaha

Well it's officially a month until the single release! Radio tour soon surely?

I know I'm getting impatient too!

Perhaps it will start on his birthday

That would be a great birthday present for him
I just hope they get on it soon because it needs a good few weeks of airplay before release. And hopefully a TV slot - though not sure what shows he could do now since Graham Norton/Alan Carr series are finishing soon.

Btw guys this site is how we can keep track of who's played the song when it all kicks off - http://comparemyradio.com/artists/Andrea_Faustini - obviously it's just the one Radio 2 play at the moment.

That's a fab find. I remember BBC breakfast and Loose Women did really nice interviews with Andrea during XFactor so hopefully he'll be back on those programmes.

Thank you for that, I love keeping track of everything The You Tube views and Spotify listens are very encouraging I'm sure there will be a lot planned for him over the next few weeks (and really looking forward to it )

Yeah it's good to see the numbers steadily increase - Spotify 9,956 Youtube 12,570(+13,665 on unofficial so really around 25,000) Vevo 12,689 - considering there's been no promo/airplay yet. I expect these numbers to get a LOT higher when it starts though. I'm guessing radio tour etc will start around the same time as the press stuff comes out.

He was wearing the polka dots in that video on his FB page today!

JazzyJaney - there are a bunch of us getting messages together to go onto a webpage, to be revealed to him as a surprise for his birthday - if I see your design pop up on Instagram before end of Friday (the deadline), I will screenshot it for you and include it

Great link dbarnz - thanks for that - someone said that he had been played on Radio 1 today on Twitter, and I tried to find out more about it but couldn't - should have come direct to good old DS first

I like the fact that his album is released exactly one month after his birthday - it feels right

Yes, not bad figures for just over a week Bloody unofficial one - I could wring his neck for putting it up and Andrea's team's neck for not getting the official one up until nearly two days later.....

Just in case anyone is not on Twitter or FB, or missed this:

You can buy signed copies of Andrea's album - 500 only so order quickly - from this link.....
