Shayne Ward is hoping to score high in the charts with his new sound.

The X Factor star has been busy working on the follow-up to his self-titled debut, which featured the hits That's My Goal and No Promises.

"Now people get to see the more versatile me" - Shayne Ward

But although his first two singles did well in the charts, his third single, Stand By Me, failed to impress.

He said of the new musical direction: "Now people get to see the more versatile me...the more funkier and sexier side. I'm enjoying myself. I'm 22 and I'm a young lad!"

That's something he certainly sets out to prove in the racy video for his first new single No U Hang Up.

It's released in September before an album follows in November.
