That's right! After weeks of this song being a Japan exclusive, British pop star Bentley has finally released his song in the US. He assured me via Twitter (several times, I might add, as I am very annoying/persistent) that it wasn't on purpose, but a problem out of his control. That is all in the past now, as the song is finally out. I resisted listening to the song on Youtube because I wanted my first time listening to it to be fresh and new.
This song definitely is what Bentley is all about. To fans of his music, it holds a very strong resemblance to "Alpha Dog", my personal favorite song of his. Bentley is one of those people who I don't care if he uses electronic effects on his voice. Much like The Saturdays, he has proven he has amazing vocal talent, so why shouldn't he have fun with his stuff? I swear if I hear one person complain about his "over processed" vocals in this song... Uhg. Anyway, from what I understand, this is the first single off of an upcoming album that will be his debut as an original artist in Japan. Yup. Bentley has a Japanese recording contract. Up until now, his Japanese albums have been covers (in both English and Japanese) but he is now working on original material for release there. I certainly wish him the best of luck, and I hope he doesn't overlook us in North America when the album comes out!
You can preview and buy the song on iTunes here. The song is amazing and I wish him the best of luck in Japan as well as Worldwide!
