Hear Two New Songs From One Night Only
You can hear two new songs from One Night Only's forthcoming second album here. The four-track album sampler contains Say You Don't Want It and All I Want, which have been previously released, and then also Bring Me Back Down and Forget My Name. Sounds absolutely amazing!

Single Review: One Night Only - Say You Don't Want It
Artist: One Night Only
Single: Say You Don't Want It
From the album One Night Only
In a word... wow. I thought their first album had some good songs, and I liked all of them, but nothing jumped out at me as amazing. This, on the other hand, when I first heard it on Radio 1, jumped at me immediately. There is an instant and huge change recognisable in the band's sound, and they have improved to the extent that it's almost unbelievable. This song boasts an incredibly catchy chorus, which I found I was singing along to without realising a few minutes later. I cannot find fault with it, personally, and if this is a sign of things to come on their new album, I reckon I could be in for one of the best listens of the year.

One Night Only - Album 2 Speculation
I think I now have all eleven tracks that will be on One Night Only's second album (however, not in the right order - I've had a wild guess as to what order the songs will be in) and which one will be the opening single. The band finished recording the album in early March, and performed six new songs live at the SXSW festival in mid-March.
1. Forget My Name (03:44) - Performed live at the SXSW festival in March 2010 - sounds like it could be my favourite (but I've only heard snippets of songs or live versions, not a complete version as of yet)
2. Anything (04:04) - Performed at SXSW as well - have heard about a minute of it.
3. Never Be The Same (04:00) - I have no information on this song.
4. Say You Don't Want It (04:07) - This is the one I think will be the first single. It was performed live at SXSW as well.
5. All I Want (03:31) - Performed at SXSW as well - but haven't found any footage of it
6. Chemistry (03:58) - The fifth out of the six performed live at SXSW - have heard around 20 seconds of it.
7. Got It All Wrong (04:29) - The last of the six performed live at SXSW, but no footage.
8. Feeling Fine (03:45) - I have no information on this song.
9. Bring Me Back Down (03:18) - I have no information on this song.
10. Never Let You Go (04:14) - I have no information on this song.
11. Can't Stop Now (04:23) - I have no information on this song.
I'm going to predict an early June release for the single, followed by the album in late June / early July. But I have nothing to back that up, it's just a guess.
