After winning the eleventh series of ''The X Factor'' in 2014, Haenow traveled to Los Angeles to immediately begin development of the album by collaborating with established musicians such as Kelly Clarkson, Julian Bunetta, Iain James, Kodaline, Anne Preven, Red Triangle, Steve Robson, J.R. Rotem, and Amy Wadge. Haenow described the record as a mélange of uptempo pop rock anthems and pop ballads, making a departure from the rock album he was expected to release following his tenure on ''The X Factor''. ''Ben Haenow'' was preceded by the release of its lead single, "Second Hand Heart", which became a top 40 hit on the Official UK Singles Chart. The album's supporting tour, the One Night Tour, will commence in April 2016. == Background and recording == Upon winning the eleventh series of ''The X Factor'', Haenow released his debut single, a cover version of OneRepublic's "Something I Need" in December 2014.〔 The track debuted at the top of the Official UK Singles Chart while simultaneously becoming the UK Christmas number one single of the year.〔 In January 2015, Haenow signed a recording contract with his mentor Simon Cowell's record company Syco Music; and in October 2015, he entered into a US record deal with Sony Music Entertainment's RCA Records label.〔〔〔 Immediately after signing his contract with Syco, Haenow traveled to Los Angeles began recording tracks for his debut studio album.〔〔 He also began to write new material for the album with Kodaline, J.R. Rotem, Amy Wadge, Julian Bunetta, and Steve Robson.〔 Much of the album was recorded on the Westlake Recording Studios in West Hollywood, California, with Haenow amassing over 60–70 recorded songs for potential selection.〔〔 English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran also sent Haenow a song for him to record, but the track came in too late as the album's track listing was finalized. Haenow revealed, "It's brave and stupid. I wanted to write my own stuff and get it on there. I don't mean any disrespect to Ed by not taking it on. I'll have to take him out for dinner to apologise."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ben Haenow (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
