I know I'm always the one to say this but...

Don't worry!

Since the video is on a Vevo channel, it should get some promotion via the Vevo youtube channel and website soon. Also remember the song has had hardly any promotion really, only one radio play and this video hasn't been shared on social media yet (Vevo, Sony, RCA, Andrea etc should tweet the link out soon). Give it time

I think they've just uploaded it now in preparation for the lead up to release. There's still a whole load of promotion to do! And I'm sure there will be a music video too Still 1 month and 6 days till release!

Hopefully his busy day is full of press interviews
You're our little ray of sunshine, dbarnz.

Andrea's OFFICIAL Vevo You Tube audio version of Give a Little Love has finally been released...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTKnNUkFeKI

Just a small rant here - the unofficial one, which was some bloke recording it off of the radio - has had over 7,000 views and has been included in every press article about Andrea's single and album.... Now, the official You Tube audio version is finally released - talk about shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted! Better late than never, but I do hope that the unofficial You Tube views will be taken into account by the powers that be when they are deciding how popular the song is....!
Things like that always happen. They can be a bit ate at putting up the official audio sometimes. There will be plenty more unofficial ones showin up too I'm sure

I am sure they must count….as people have paid good money for it? Perhaps that explains why things go straight to number one on release. Just head an extract of John Newman's new single due out 17th July - that week is going to be a busy one for me on iTunes! Could be a race to the top between him and Andrea - yay decent talent with new material flooding the airwaves this summer
would love to k ow for sure. I've seen things chart, quite low, before official releases and was wondering of cases like this could be the reason.

PS. What a shame there's no video? Hopefully one soon? Andrea's tweet today (rocking a very unique icecream jumper too I might add ) says that he's got a busy day - maybe a interviews and press articles? Perhaps filming a video?

Is it me, or is all this a bit disorganised!?
Videos can come a couple of weeks later. Someimes there is even a lyric video before an actual video is released.

Hopefully that's what he's doing today or some interviews

His popsicle sweater is from Pharrell Williams' clothing line, Ice Cream. He's worn other stuff from there, and has said in a past interview Pharrell is his style icon.

A Russian fan has translated the lyrics into Russian for his fans from that country. It is getting exciting.

Popsicle, is that an ice lolly?

Bruce Springsteen has a song called
The River but I can't see Andrea singing that. Andrea tweeted that he's playing some of his songs. Does anyone know whether there will be any Andrea originals on the album.

Andrea has 8 original songs on his album and 2 covers. The covers are I Didn't Know My Own Strength and You Pulled Me Through (which is by Jennifer Hudson)

For his live session he said he's singing some of his original songs and one cover.

I can't wait for that. I hope his own songs are a success because singer/songwriters have a better chance of longevity. Have you noticed that he's really working the media now, promoting himself. He has to do it. I think he was reluctant originally but it's a matter of survival.
Will Dermot play the single on radioleary, I wonder.

What Would Dusty Do is also a cover. Vince Kidd wrote that one.

It doesn't actually count as a cover as Vince Kid only made a demo of it, but yes he did write it. However, it will be counted as Andrea's song.

I really love that song and Vince is excited about Andrea's recording of it.

I wonder if he's counting the cover as one of the ones on is album or will it completely different like they usually do for Radio 1 live lounge were the artists chooses a track they like to sing.

I seen on twitter earlier a girl said she had gotten the chance to listen to Andrea's album, think she was an editor or something, and she was saying how amazing it is and we are all in for a treat
It's all making me so excited now, I'm so happy hearing so much positive stuff coming about it all.

Guys,

I've been asked to please get everyone to watch the official video if possible, as it is apparently very important to get the numbers up..... So please watch a few times if you can... Thanks

I can do that
Maybe put it in it's own little playlist and put the play list on repeat so it's constantly running in my background I know it takes a while for views to show up in the first day or 2.

Gonna share it on FB tomorrow. I'll try and do it in the morning if I have the time or when I get home from work. More people are on morning/afternoon so hopefully more people will see it

Yeah, it's the American/Canadian term.

They should have posted the video on his fb page so it plays automatically when people scroll past it in their timelines. That's what most people do now, gets the views right up.
It's annoying that the other video took the initial views. The only promotion this video has had so far is Andrea tweeting it, and tweets are so easy to miss.

I am surprised that none of the x factor lot have tweeted out the link tbh... especially since they were all asking people to vote for Laurens brother on BGT...

Are any of these tracks collaborations with major artists as rumoured? Does anyone think Jennifer Hudson will feature on You Pulled Me Through?
