Talented young UK singer songwriter Steven Hitchens released his debut single Whoops on the Internet on November 3rd 2008. In this article you can learn more about Steven and read my review of his single Whoops.
Influenced by 90s stars Madonna, The Spice Girls, Blur and Oasis Steven Hitchens began writing songs at the very young age of 10. Two of those early songs were titled ‘Blue Blueday’ and ‘Extinction is Forever .
Steven s performing career began at a holiday village in Bognor Regis working from 9.00 am 2.00 am organising games and activities for children and performing every night in cabaret shows. It s even rumoured that he dressed up as Bradley Bear to help entertain the kids whilst his parents happily propped up the bar! He then built up more performing experience as he toured schools in Holland singing jazz and swing covers.
In 2004 Steven moved to London to attend drama school and that s where many of his songs were written and sigh where his heart was first broken. Steven still continues acting and hopes eventually that he will play himself in a film about his life when he becomes a mega music best selling recording artist. His acting training and experience should also stand him in good stead for making music videos.
When he left drama school Steven began to focus more on his music and in November 2007 Steven teamed up with singer songwriter Ben Adams and started to record his debut album which is due be released during the spring of 2009. Steven s debut single Whoops , was released on the Internet on 3rd November 2008 just in time for my birthday!
When I heard the title Whoops I thought oh no not one of those naff, catchy songs that are usually released in the run up to Christmas . You know what I mean the type of song that gets played for years to come at weddings and birthday parties that gets the grandparents up dancing with the kids. But, I promised to listen to and review Whoops so here goes.
My Review
On first listen I was pleasantly surprised. Yes it is one of those catchy songs, but it doesn t remind me of anything else and has grown on me every time that I ve listened to it. Whoops suggests mistakes and the song is about a guy who cheats on his partner and is caught out and not for the first time. He wants forgiveness from the partner that he loves but you sorta know that it will happen again.
The chorus Whoops did I do it again made me think about works Christmas parties and the embarrassing mistakes that happen. Imagine for weeks afterwards your workmates compounding your embarrassment with a rendition of the chorus every time that they see you!
As a debut single I like Whoops . It s catchiness, upbeat tempo and singalongability score in its favour and especially as we are heading towards Christmas when it could become popular as a party livener. As a dance tune it also scores good in my book. I found myself wanting to dance and if a dance craze attaches itself to this song who knows how well it will do.
Singer Steve Hitchins who comes from Surrey in the UK certainly has the look of a pop star. I m sure that the girls will love his moody good looks – I know that I do! Whoops is now available from most digital retailers. As Steve will be releasing his first album next year I m sure that we will hear much more from him in the future.
Competition so far for the Christmas season is Alesha Dixon s The Boy Does Nothing . Played back to back with Whoops at a club or party – that sounds like a fun time to me.
