The album is titled 'Obsessions'. About time. Really looking forward to hearing his material though, Shayne is probably my favourite XF winner.

New single is called 'Gotta Be Somebody'. Released on 7th November, with the album following a week later on the 15th November.

I think I heard that too, so it must've been.

But as far as I can remember, this third album was originally due for release in summer 2009. Can't remember why it was held back, I think they wanted to start from scratch. It's a long time overdue though, so I'm hoping for good things. Apparently he's been working with RedOne and Taio Cruz.

Ah cheers, and yeah Im also glad Shayne is back - always thought he was a very deservable winner!

No U Hang Up, Melt The Snow, Until You and If Thats Ok With You are my favourites from Breathless.

[MTVN]

Never thought he'd be back.

[Jordan.]

I wonder if he'll be back on XF to perform then, I dont know if they'd let him since hes kind of flopped now.

That's what I was thinking. I hope so though. I'm worried this will flop otherwise. It needs serious promotion.

Oh, and according to a few articles, it does indeed seem Simon is giving his full backing to his comeback, which is surprising, but very good.

That cover reminds me of Taio Cruz's album cover for Rokstarr

[Jords]

^
Yeah same.

Oh, and apparently the first single will be released a week before the album, on 7th November. Very excited for all of this!

[Billy]

Shayne has never flopped... His albums both went platinum and his single done well.. I'm looking forward to this actually.

[Z]

I heard rumours of a duet with Heidi Range on this album!?

The Official X Factor site also seem to be promoting this now [or his photoshoot, at least]:

Hopefully he'll get an XF performance then!

[Shaun]

goodness me.

[Zippy]

I had to check the date of the first post. Thought it might be years old.

Sorry, but Shayne has been and gone already. Just cant see him back up there at all. He wasnt even all that successful straight after X factor!

OMG It sounds epic!

He's doing a cover of the Nickelback song?

I thought it would be a brand new song

Same. Bit disappointing I suppose, but then again Joe McElderry is doing a cover.

Seems Simon isn't interested in getting songwriters to write new tracks for them all.

True but I read in an interview that for the past 3 years he's been doing writing camps for new songs, so I expected a new song as his comeback single. Apparently he had some songs from RedOne and Taio Cruz but none of them made the album. That could be a big mistake seeing as most stuff from them two usually do well in the charts.
