New Song Obsession: I Don’t Do Surprises
I’m absolutely loving Axle Whitehead’s comeback single, “I Don’t Do Surprises.” The last time we saw Axle he was flashing his penis at the ARIA Awards. He was promptly fired from his Video Hits hosting gig, and I thought it may be the last we’d hear of him. But he’s returned to his musical roots (remember we all saw him first on Australian Idol?), and it’s paid off.
Even Channel Ten seems to have forgiven him, as they’re using this catchy song to promote their Women’s Murder Club series. Axle’s cruisy voice reminds me a lot of Chris Martin’s, but it’s a lot less dreary. If this is any indication, I can’t wait to hear Axle’s debut album.

Yeah I can see the similarities Dan, but funnily enough I can’t stand Coldplay and I love this song. Go figure :-).

Hey Alex - while the song’s been all over radio for a while it was actually only officially released on Saturday. You should now be able to download it from the iTunes store.

Hi Alex - I don’t really know what Riverx20 is, but iTunes is available for free from http://www.apple.com/itunes. The downloads are extra, but it’s the most widely available way to legally download songs. The physical CD single was also released on Saturday, so if you’d rather the CD that’s also available from all music stores.

Hi Alex and Liam. Sites like Limewire are out there, but technically downloading songs from them is illegal. Consequently, I can’t really suggest those sort of ways to get songs or videos. So far as the film clip goes, I’m not sure whether legal downloads of that exist.

I thought it WAS Coldplay. When I found out it was axel my thought was he’s ripping off Coldplay. Hate that.

I think there’s a fine line between ripping off and being influenced by. Axel’s always had that cruisy sound … I think it’s just that he’s getting enough airplay now that people can see the similarities! Will be interesting to see what his next single sounds like though.
