‘WHEN WE COLLIDE’

DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE NOW Available here

CD RELEASED WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 15th

The most exciting, controversial and highest rated series of ITV1’s X Factor has finally crowned its victor, in the form of 27 year old Matt Cardle.

After capturing the hearts of the nation, Matt will now release his first ever single ‘When We Collide’ on Syco Music/Sony. Written and originally recorded by Scottish indie outfit Biffy Clyro, the mesmerising track will be released digitally shortly after the X Factor Final on all major platforms including iTunes, Play.com, Amazon.com and HMV.com. CD manufacturers are heading into meltdown to meet colossal demand for the physical release of the single, on shelves Wednesday 15th December.

The CD release will feature three bonus tracks: ‘Just The Way You Are,’ ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ and ‘Nights In White Satin,’ three audience favourites from Matt’s time on the show.

During the last four months Matt Cardle has enchanted audiences with his sublime timbre. Mentored by Dannii Minogue, his renditions of ‘You’ve Got The Love,’ ‘….Baby One More Time’ and ‘When Love Takes Over’ have helped him ensnare the imagination of millions. Now with a major recording deal with Syco Music/Sony, and a clear creative direction of his own, Matt will set to fashioning an album worthy of his unique talent.

The X Factor 2010 has been the most successful series of the talent show to date, with a record peak audience of 15.4 million tuning in to watch last night’s semi final show.

Simon Cowell said: “I am thrilled this deal has been concluded with ITV to enable our relationship to continue to develop. I am committed to making sure both shows get bigger and better every year. I have a lot to thank ITV for; they have been key in making The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent the UK’s biggest television shows.”
