Liberty X : Wanting Me Tonight

Hear'Say’s sales may have gone from record-breaking to "let’s-have-another-look-at-that-contract" in a year, but at least they’ve still got their name. These losers from 'Popstars' – popular way back in 2001, TV nostalgia fans – had been merrily attending launch parties for new flavours of yoghurt as ‘Liberty’.

But – oops! - there’s already a brass band from Huddersfield who are well known by that name in several pubs and clubs in the Huddersfield area. So the Hear'Say rejects changed their name to Liberty X (as in Liberty NO! or Liberty WRONG! Or Liberty E-ERRR!) and have returned with this depressing UK R&B tune, which should work well in branches of Top Shop. As will a couple of members of Liberty X by about early June.
