Having entertained audiences on the latest series of X Factor, Marcus Collins is set to release his debut single ‘Seven Nation Army’ on 4th March which has been taken from his eponymous album out on 12th March.
The cover of the rock track originally by The White Stripes features Marcus’ distinctive smooth vocals. Speaking about the track, Marcus says: “I’ve always been a fan of the original version of ‘Seven Nation Army’ and hope people like my take on it. I’m so happy to be releasing my debut album. I’ve worked on my music every minute possible since I came out of the show and can’t wait for everyone to be able to hear it.”
Check out 'Seven Nation Army' below.
Marcus has written a number of tracks for the album, of which friend and mentor Gary Barlow is executive producer. The X Factor finalist has also been in the studio with Brian Rawling (who has worked with the likes of David Bowie, Kylie and Girls Aloud).
As well as his original tracks, the album will feature three stand out covers including the single; ‘Your Love Is Lifting Me Higher’ by Jackie Wilson (noted as one of his best performances on X Factor) and ‘Tightrope’ by Janelle Monae who Marcus cites as a huge inspiration.
