    It seems like it’s been an ETERNITY since X-Factor star Shayne Ward has had new material out but the wait is finally over! “Gotta Be Somebody,” due out November 7th, will serve as the first single off his upcoming third album, Obsession. “Gotta Be Somebody” is an interesting choice for a single…considering it’s a Nickelback cover. “Gotta Be Somebody” was released off of the band’s 2008 album Dark Horse where it went Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and Top Twenty on the UK singles chart. Ward’s new album features production from RedOne and Taio Cruz and is due to be released on November 15th on Syco Music. Listen to a 30 second clip of the new single below. Not much to go on really. Guess we’ll have to wait and see if this is good or if this is shit. I’m on the fence at this point. WHY NICKELBACK?! WHY? (via Digital Spy)
