I hope it's true. I hope the song will be good. December Song sounds a bit boring imo.

Yeah, the title makes it sound like a snoozer.

On the other hand, considering how crap his uptempo stuff has been he last several years, I guess I'm hoping it's a ballad.

I predict it'll be out of date by the new year

unfortunately you're right. But a few days ago I realised that he has had problems with fast songs since the 90s...

On Older, however great the album is, you have Fastlove (one of my favorite songs). But he mainly sung over the Forget Me Not backing track. The same with Star People (Burn Rubber).

Outside was fast, but I think the production is not as classy as his previous efforts. Something seems to be wrong with it...

And on Patience... I mean, how crap is Precious Box? It has no melody at all. He just sang over the music he's written (and it's crap) and let's face it... He sings about TV... how boring...

Not to mention Flawless, where he took that song and came up with a few lines...

The only fast song on Patience I liked was Amazing.

He does? I'm literally watching the 25 Live DVD set and wishing he would come out of retirement. His website saying nothing. What's the source? Is it just a single or an upcoming CD?

I read it ony a GM-forums. They named some source. I think it was Radio 1 or something. They said the same thing last week, but since the song's called December Song I think it fits that it would come out tomorrow!!!
