Title: One Direction second album and single "Live While We’re Young"
Post by: turnaround on August 23, 2012, 02:27:36 PM
AMAZING news.

QuoteTaken from poptastic:

One Direction's new single is called 'Live While We're Young'.

How do we know this? Because they've said as much in the 25-second long video clip we've plonked at the bottom of this 'news' story.

As Harry says, the single will be available to pre-order tonight at midnight while the actual 'street date' is September 30.

According to a press release, the single's been written with Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub & Carl Falk (i.e. the people that helped make 'What Makes You Beautiful' so amazing), and the album also features collaborations with Dr Luke (amazing), Shellback (amazing) and Toby Gad (amazing).


Ed Sheeran's on there too, but you can't have everything.

The album's out at some point in November.

Exciting stuff. Hopefully Max is also on board!

very interesting that Dr Luke has written for One Direction, he hasn't written for that many male artists compared to all the females. Nice to see Shellback there too. Max has got to be involved somewhere!
Looking forward to the new album.

"Live While We're Young" was written by Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub and Carl Falk - the trio of songwriters behind 1D's massive "What Makes You Beautiful".


http://www.novafm.com.au/article/one-directions-live-while-were-young-breaks-pre-order-records


Album is called "Take me home"

Single cover:

From Cheiron site:

Here's a list of no less than NINE (!) titles of songs recorded by One Direction, co-written by Rami Yacoub and Kristian Lundin, most likely to be released on their upcoming album "Take Me Home", due November 9th!

Max and Rami on the same album but of course NOT on the same songs.  :( ::)
Shellback with Rami though :)

Some of the songs are co-written by 1D and these guys I haven't heard before



Kristoffer Fogelmark
http://www.myspace.com/kristofferfogelmark

and
Andreas Albin Nedler




"BACK FOR YOU"
(Rami Yacoub / Savan Kotecha / ...)

"CHANGE MY MIND"
(Rami Yacoub / Carl Falk / Savan Kotecha)

"HEART ATTACK"
(Kristian Lundin / Rami Yacoub / Carl Falk / Savan Kotecha / Shellback)

"KISS YOU"
(Kristian Lundin / Rami Yacoub / Carl Falk / Savan Kotecha / Shellback / ...)

"LAST FIRST KISS"
(Rami Yacoub / Carl Falk / Savan Kotecha / ...)

"LIVE WHILE WE'RE YOUNG" (lead single)
(Rami Yacoub / Carl Falk / Savan Kotecha)

"MAGIC"
(Rami Yacoub / Carl Falk / Savan Kotecha)

"NOBODY COMPARES"
(Rami Yacoub / Carl Falk / Savan Kotecha / Shellback)

"STILL THE ONE"
(Rami Yacoub / Carl Falk / Savan Kotecha / ...)

All of these songs are published under "MXM MUSIC", maybe Max is executive producer?

OH! MY! This is the best news I've heard all year, I'm am so excited and shocked. So many songs! Plus if Max is executive producer it will be even more perfect. That could actually explain Shellback working with Rami and Kristian. What is the song with Max as writer though?

Thanks for the news! :)

Mmm, put me in the disappointment club as well. It's nice, but just sounds like a lost B-Side from "Up All Night". They shouldn't have rushed into this second album, but hey, there are too many eager Directioners who can't wait another twelve months. ::)

EDIT: Video is up.

They are milking the money as fast as possible, or maybe Simon's doing that who knows. I'm looking forward to seeing if the songs Kristian did, changed things up at all.

Its so weird Carl and Savan were students of Kristian and Rami was an original Cheiron member yet, compared to the BSB/NSYNC songs these 1D songs are just not even half way up to par. They repeat so many of the same words and recycle way more than they did 10 years ago.

^It's hard for a boyband to be successful nowadays. I think the producers did the same music because they didn't want to jeopardize. However, I think this new track sounds cool.

I am here for Kristian Lundin anyway!

My guess is that there'll be no Max. Obviously not on "Rock Me" anyway. At least Shellback and Rami are working together, that's gotta be a good sign for future working relationships.

All I can say is wow! This is going to be one great album. You know it's going to be good when you're already in love with the snippets. Why oh why did they choose "Live While We're Young" for the lead single? There are so many better tracks here, and they're all still Rami's.

"Little Things" is the second single (turned out to be an Ed Sheeran track, not Dr. Luke). Video here. http://youtu.be/xGPeNN9S0Fg (http://youtu.be/xGPeNN9S0Fg)

"Little things" is very nice. Great clever but not boring music. Love the pureness of it.

And the snippets are all very promising. I am not expecting them to deliver innovations, just some contemporary pop music. And what I heard so far was pretty good and there seem to be many songs better than the first single. They just didn't want to risk anything for the first single.

EDIT: Next single is "Kiss You", out November 16. I hope it's not just a radio promo single, seeings as though "Little Things" is out too. Maybe "Little Things" will be UK only, like "It's Gotta Be You" was...?

Rami and co are really loving using the same little chord rundown from the chorus of "Live While We're Young", it's in "Still The One" and "Magic" too. I have to say, they're production is becoming very samey. The guitar intros, the cowbell, having Harry sing the last line of every chorus a cappella. But it's forgiving that they've written some absolute gems. I just wish they'd mix it up a bit. I guess they probably wrote plenty, not knowing which would get the go ahead.

On another note, I'm with Turnaround on "I Would", I think it's become my favourite. Found out it's written by the band members of McFly, who I know have been big in the UK, but I'm not sure if I've heard any of their songs before.

Hehe, McFly were so good in the beginning of their career. (First album was fantastic) They will release soonish a Greatest Hits album, I can recommend it.

I was surprised they delivered such a great stand-out track with "I would"....

Single material and somehow different than the Falk/Kotecha/Rami songs.

That was brilliant, thanks! :D So many interesting points in there, and I was quite surprised that Luke got a writing credit (the lead credit if I'm not mistaken) based on production only... I had no idea it worked like that. Then again, you hear plenty of stories of artists getting writing credits when they've not made even the tiniest contribution.

I've heard Max say that the "melody first" technique works for him but may not for everyone, but from the way it's mentioned here, it's more of a strategy than just personal preference.

Savan seems to be a great source of information, maybe as a forum we should probe him a bit for some more. ;)
