Chrsitine McVie on UK radio!!!
 

Good old Richard Allison played Christine on radio 2 this morning. A track from her new album called 'You Are' . I know that quite a few Fireflies heard it! I was driving home from work and it was a nice surprise. Sounded very 'Fleetwood Mac'ish' . Apparently he already played the track on his show on Saturday and got bombarded with emails to play it again! Really looking forward to hearing the rest of the album now!

Pip :blob2:

I can't wait for this album!!! :blob2:

OMG!!!! I emailed Richard about 5 mins ago to thank him for playing the record and my hubby just called me to say he mentioned my email!!! Wow!!!

I had mentioned seeing FM 6 times last year and he commented on me being a big fan and that I had emailed him to thank him for playing Christine. Then he said I would probably like the next track feauturing Stevie Nicks and he played Gold! Typical I missed all this but luckily my hubby was driving to work and heard it!


Pip

Thanks for sharing, Pip!
How exciting that brand new Christine McVie solo material is getting radio play. :D

I can't wait for this album!

When the track started there seemed something familiar about it. I was stunned when I heard her voice.. I just didn't expect it! This DJ is great tho... he opened his show one day last week with Peacekeaper and once on his Saturday show he played 3 tracks from Tusk. Most of the other DJ's on this staion tend to stick to tracks from Rumours. And this is a national UK radio station so good that Christine is getting airplay already

Pip

Thanks for posting, Pip. :) This is great! I wish I lived in England now. :laugh:

Does this mean that "You Are" is the first single?

The DJ said it hadn't been released yet as the first single so I'm not sure. Hopefully!

Pip

He he. It would be kind of funny if Christine's album went platinum in a hurry.

If it did, it should put an end to a lot of arguments around here.

I hope and pray it does. No one deserves scuusess more. CM is brilliant and talented and I wish her well. In fact, I would fly to England to see her in concert, if she has one.

Yay Christine! :blob1:

I hope her songs get some radio airplay here. I'm dying to get my hands on this album!

Christine on Radio!!!
 

:] Great Chris Radio News!!! You go Girl!!! :]
Christine Deserves Musical Success!!! :woohoo: Sky:)

I love Christine, but I honestly don't think that will happen. And God I hope I'm wrong. This market is filled with too much junk!

She's made 25 million dollars! If that ain't success, I don't wanna know what is! :lol:

I just heard it!
 

Okay, you too can listen to Christine's new single:

Click on "Listen again to this show".

"You Are" is the first song that comes up.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the link!

I love it! Very "Christine" sounding....and I'm thrilled that Stevie sang on a track too!

:]

Where did you hear that Stevie sings on this records?! Thats great!

WOW!!! The first new Christine McVie song I've heard in 7 years. I LOVE it!!! It's beautiful, very classic Christine & very Fleetwood Mac like. Her voice sounds fantastic!!!

many thanks for the link, Joe. :)

Coolness!!!!
 

Where did you hear about Stevie singing on a track? After the song was over, the guy said Christine had sang back up vocals on the last Fleetwood Mac album. Did you hear something else?

Wow, thanks for posting that link. That was so neat to hear. I have to admit I am already missing John's bass supporting her voice, but other than that it sounded really nice.

-Lis

Yeah, this is trademark CM. In fact, it almost seems like I've heard it before, lol. Nice though, even if she still is using lyrics like "love is fine." :)

Does the "You are..." [beat] remind anyone else of Coldplay?

This song rocks. If it's an indication of the album, it's bound to be fantastic.

It sounded great, the guy was right, classic Christine - Fleetwood Mac type sound...that song anyway...good to hear Christine still has that same great voice we all love...she doesnt seem to have changed a bit..gotta love her

Chris

Yessssssssssss!!! :woohoo: thanks for the link!

So good to hear that voice again.

Can't get it to play anything..... grrrr

Christine McVie on UK radio!!!
 

I just listened to it... SHE SOUNDS GREAT... Love the sound of the song, really looking forward to this actually!

ok... just need to get real player

The other link was from the album show on Radio 2. This link is from this mornings show:


http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/wogan/

Choose listen again (Will only work til around 6 or 7 a.m. tomorrow Thurs. UK time.... quick!!)

Christine is about 9 mins into the show. I'm going to listen to my mention on there too... that will come around 50 mins after the christine track is played


EDIT: Gold and my mention exactly 1 hour in.. after the news
Pip

I like it! :thumbsup: She sounds great, as always.

Wow her voice is beautiful. Not crazy about the first listen, but guess what. It's growing on me.

Did anyone else hear those Fleetwood Mac ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh's

I miss that so much!

This song sounds a lot like the stuff from Time. If the whole album is more of the same, it won't appeal to me. Be that as it may, it has a nice contemporary feel and Christine's voice sounds positively wonderful.

Agreed...........................

Link to the mp3!!
 

I didn't care for the song much on first listen, but after about 3 or 4 I'm in lOVE with the song. Her voice is danmed beautiful and unlike Stevie's it's not always changing (not necasarily a bad thing to Stevie but you never know what you're going to get from her vocally on a song) This song flows like honey. Christine is a true American Idol. I'm going to delete this song now. Now that I've at least heard one song and loved it from her album, I'll wait patiently til GASP July 27th.

Umm, from Pip's second post on this thread:

I assumed Gold was a new song on Christine's album - or was he referring to the John Stewart song?? I'm confused... :rolleyes:

Haha I am an idiot, I thought the radio station jingle was the song, lol. 'Ack'!

Thanks Joe, Christy and Tracy!

It does have a Time feel to it, which I think it's great. It sounds very Fleetwood Mac. Much more Fleetwood Mac than the current Fleetwood Mac, I would say. I love it. I cannot wait for the rest of the album, and thanks for the link. :)


Song of the moment - You Are (of course)

I was just having a shower and realised that the percussion on the chorus is similar to the drumming effect used in YMLF. lol

Hey thanks for posting the link. I needed myself a little Christine fix. It's been a long time. I liked the song, but not blown away by it. Christine's voice, which sounds as good as ever, and the melody of the song are more appealing to me than the words. She definitely hasn't changed her main style of straightforward pure pop, and that's ok with me. :xoxo:
