Olly Murs never wants to innovate or do anything different

Olly Murs

Former hat-wearer extraordin­aire Olly Murs has said he never wants to make an album that surprises his fans in any way.

Having a chat with the BBC about his new single 'Wrapped Up' and how he didn't actually want it to be the first single, the 'Hand On Heart' hitmaker said the following:

"It was a song I knew my fans would abso­lutely love. I could have come back with something com­pletely fresh and different to what I've done before, but I felt like that was even more of a risk."

He added: "I never want a fan of mine to pick up an album and go 'this sounds a bit different — this doesn't sound like what he's done before.'"

Amazing. Well done everyone.
