Lee Mead "Why Can't We Make Things Work"
This guy won a reality-TV competition to star as Joseph in the latest West End production of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". His album and single are out (soon?). The single features a Gregg-penned song as the B-side. Here's a listening sample: http://www.7digital.com/stores/productDetail.aspx?shop=122&pid=174174

wow, that's awesome news. That's the first new Gregg song in ages! The album (which will also include the song) will be released November 19th, by the way.

Can't you just hear Gregg singing that or what?

Sure can See my post about tracking down Gregg's demo versions of the songs he writes for others... http://newradicals.17.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=468

Ronan turned down 8 Gregg tracks like this so he could fit a stale version of "Iris" on his album? Unbelievable. I heard the full version of "Why Can't We Make Things Work" on some BBC radio show last Friday and it's a really great tune. I hope Gregg continues to use his same formula since "You Get What You Give" because for some odd reason, it STILL sounds fresh to this day.

If you want to hear the full song. Click the following link. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/networks/radio2/aod.shtml?radio2/r2_bruce_fri# Click the 15 minutes button twice, the 5 minutes button once, then wait until the "Glorious" song finishes.

Anybody (especially those living in the UK) know if the double A-side single with "Why Can't We Make Things Work"/"Gonna Make You A Star" ever made it into shops? It's not on Amazon or HMV, and I couldn't find it on eBay either. :(

Haven't see it around. I'd love to get my hands on it though. Catchy little tune! It's soooo Gregg! :D

Sounds like a radio only release, but it's not in any of the online record stores I use.

I thought it would get a physical release because Amazon used to have it available for preorder, but now it says it's out of stock which seems strange for a single that was released just one or two weeks ago...

Maybe they only had a few and it did better than they thought.
