11.12.12 - New Music - Conor Maynard

British cutie Conor Maynard is releasing the fourth single off debut album ‘Contrast’ soon, and you should be ready…if you live in the UK. Otherwise, just enjoy it for what it is.

“Animal” follows “Can’t Say No”, “Vegas Girl”, and “Turn Around (ft. Ne-Yo)”, so it has something to live up to.  “Can’t Say No” made it to #2, “Vegas Girl” #4, and “Turn Around” stopped at #8, but that’s still three top ten hits. Not too shabby for a debut album.

“Animal” will probably do just as well, or close. The production is very Far East Movement, in that it’s kind of a quirky electro dance thing. It works on Maynard, who seems to get lost in this track. At times I think he’s Bieber (I always think he’s Bieber), at times he sounds like a mix of several other boyband members, and then for a second he sounded like Michael Jackson. Maybe it was just the words he was saying.

Either way, good luck to you Conor, though you probably don’t really need it.
