Conor Maynard's announced details of his debut album

  • June 18, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

Conor Maynard has offi­cially announced details of his debut album 'Contrast'.

That's the album cover to your right. We think he's got his ball stuck up a tree and is trying to point the kindly man next door to its whereabouts.

According to the pretty spec­tac­u­lar press release Maynard is "no insipid pop puppet", which must be why his A&R team assembled a lineup of producers that have been nowhere near a pop album of late. People like Pharrell Williams, Stargate and The Invisible Men, with whom Maynard shares management.

Frank Ocean's done a song on it too, which is good news 'for the blogs', while col­lab­or­a­tion-shy Rita Ora (with whom Maynard shares man­age­ment) pops up on one song.

"I am my fanbase," Conor tells the press release. "I’m making music for people like me; I know what I want to hear when I’m out partying with my friends and I know what I want to hear when I’ve broken up with my girlfriend."

'Contrast' is released on July 30 and the track listing is below.

1. Animal

2. Turn Around (feat Ne-Yo)

3. Vegas Girl

4. Can't Say No

5. Lift Off

6. Mary Go Round

7. Take Off

8. Better Than You (feat Rita Ora)

9. Another One

10. Pictures

11.Glass Girl

12. Just In Case
