Olly Murs was an X-factor finalist in 09 and has released his debut single 'Please don't let me go' and recently his second single 'Thinking of me' - listen to these songs on the right.
“I just want people to enjoy my music,” says Olly Murs. “I know the record industry can be very cut-throat and you’re over quickly. But I think what I’ve found is a bit of a summer sound. And a feelgood factor, really. That’s all I want. People to enjoy the music, have fun.”
You know, the quicksharp, telesales worker-turned-recruitment consultant who won a place on The X Factor at the third attempt (previous singing experience: some karaoke in his local boozer. Reason for learning the guitar: “getting birds’ phone numbers”)?
“My music is who I am – quite easygoing. I’m just here to have a good time. I don’t really take myself too seriously.”
Yeah, him, the Simon Cowell protégé who lost out in the final?
“I met some stars on The X Factor, but the ones I’ve seen from afar, sometimes they seem to take themselves way too seriously. It is actually about enjoying yourself. I’m just who I am. I want to enjoy it as much as I can.”
The punchline? That Olly, the 26-year-old runner-up on X-Factor ‘09, is about to release a self-written single with blaring-out-of-car-stereos hit written all over it. No joke. Get ready to be singing along to Please Don’t Let Me Go all summer long.
