Sony Music UK held a special music showcase in London last night and a select few members of the press were treated to previews of some of their artists upcoming but as yet unreleased music.
On the roster of course were a number of former X Factor contestants, including Leona Lewis, Misha B, Amelia Lily and the chart topping, record breaking boyband One Direction.
Insiders at the event revealed that they were played a track named ‘Kiss You’ from 1D’s second album ‘Take Me Home’ as well as a preview of the official music video for their next single ‘Live While We’re Young.’ We previously published a number of pictures from the lads’ video shoot, in which they were seen being soaked with water and enjoying a pool party.
Journalists at last night’s showcase confirmed that the video is set in a water park and also shows 1D camping. The “Live While We’re Young” video will premiere later this month, with the single receiving it’s first radio play on September 24. The release date for the track has been set for 30th September 2012.
Chart Show TV revealed exactly what went on at the showcase last night, revealing on Twitter:
“We heard and saw the new @onedirection vid for Live While We’re Young.”
They added:
“The @onedirection song is an uptempo killer track. Kinda WMYB Part 2 – another SMASH! Vid has a camping theme! Boys in big water balls!”
Speaking about album track ‘Kiss You’ they continued:
“We also heard another @onedirection album track Kiss You! Funky! You will love it!”
The guys were also raving about new music coming from Leona Lewis’ upcoming album ‘Glassheart’ and her next single ‘Trouble.’ They wrote:
