The Mayn attraction

  • January 30, 2012
  • Popjustice

Newish pop thing Conor Maynard (short story: managed by Jessie J's lot, signed to EMI, produced by Invisible Men et al) has been sitting at Number 4 on the Popjustice Almighty for a few weeks now, mainly due to his subtly brilliant debut single 'Can't Say No' which we enjoyed listening to quite a lot last year.

Well he's put the track on YouTube today but in true let's‑leverage-social-media fashion it's sand­wiched between some "HERE I AM" nonsense that might put you off the song a bit unless you're someone who REALLY likes "HERE I AM" nonsense.

If you know what's good for you, you'll click here and the YouTube clip will magically skip the nonsense and go straight to the song. (Stop it QUICKLY at the 1:57 mark.)

If you're a fool to yourself you can watch the full thing — complete with dis­cus­sion of 'the journey' — here.

That's right, his fans are called Mayniacs.

Incredible.
