From one promising UK act (whose last single reached the #2 position) to another, as Loick Essien is prepares to release his third single Me Without You. Whereas I commented that Emeli Sandé seems to have decided to focus on a particular niché sound, Loick Essien has yet again delivered a single that sounds nothing like its predecessor.

Some may comment that this shows that he has versatility, but I find it slightly worrying that he is using this scatter gun approach towards his single selections. Me Without You sounds almost like something that One Direction would release which has me slightly baffled.
