2012 is off to a brilliant start with the upcoming release of “X Games” by Nick Hagelin. As you’ve read in these pages over the last year, Nick has covered a diverse number of songs through entertaining You Tube videos – including Bruno Mars’ “Marry You”, Taylor Swift’s “The Story of Us”, and especially Eric Benet’s “Sometimes I Cry”. He also released a coolsexycute EP called Take Off, which featured one of my favourites from last year, the silky ballad “Metaphor”.
Well reading between the lines it seems that there’s a major label offering in the works with “X Games”. An Atlanta radio station has already jumped on it, which is a great thing for hometown boy Nick. The song itself has enough soulful steaminess to woo the ladies and enough swagger to capture the guys’ attention. It gets away from some of Nick’s lighter pop/dance fare in favour of deep down home R&B… makes sense, our boy is rooted in soul. Line it up against songs from R. Kelly, Robin Thicke, Terence Trent D’Arby, Usher… you get the picture.
Big things are poised to happen… listen to it yourself below and don’t say you aren’t impressed 🙂 More news is imminent in the coming days…
