The Sunday Swoon: Will Young


Hello my peeps. It's time for another Sunday Swoon of a gay man who's making it happen in the world. Today's swoon is extra special as I have literally been enjoying him all night long. His music that is.

You have such dirty minds. Today's swoon is: Will Young (above).

The 32-year-old British singer is releasing his fifth album "Echoes" on Tuesday in the UK. I could not wait and spent the night listening to it. My thoughts: It's excellently produced (thanks to Richard X), if still a little too soft. I was hoping for a harder sound, but Young has never really been that tough. That's part of his appeal. However, one of my favorite songs on the album is called "I Just Want a Lover," and it's a little racy for our boy. Here's a sample of the lyrics:

I just want a lover
Nothing that is complicated
I don't want to know you
We don't have to talk about it
Let us both discover
There is nothing better
Than lying here together
Staring at the bedroom window

I just want a lover
Could you be the person for me
Nothing sentimental
I want you to satisfy me

Because I wholeheartedly believe Will is singing directly to me, my response is: Yes, yes, a million times yes! My favorite song on the album is Runaway, but I have listened to this song like 800 times.

Love you, Will!

I find his under-bite so adorable, as I often do with under-bites. He is really channeling Morrissey in the Echoes album promos, the fancy cat.

I know Ermine! Except I can't stand Morrissey so he's like a young hot Morrissey that I can actually like.

(No offense to Morrissey fans, but I can't.)
