X Factor contestant and surprisingly brilliant solo star Aiden Grimshaw has revealed he is prepared for a negative reaction to his debut album from 'real' music fans.
The singer, who placed ninth on X Factor in 2010, told Gigwise that he had already experienced negative feedback to his debut single 'Is This Love' but stressed it wasn't a conscious decision to make 'credible' music.
"Already i've had a few comments such as 'Aiden's trying to do drum'n'bass - what does he think he's doing' but people just need to get past the whole X Factor thing," he told Gigwise. "We haven't tried to force anything here, just taken our time and done something that feels comfortable.
"The songs didn't have 12 people sat in a room writing it, i'd just turn up to the studio after having scrambled eggs on toast, take a pack of mints. I'd say 'i've got this idea' and we'd take it from there.
"It doesn't feel like we've pushed for anything, I haven't sat in a room saying 'I was on X Factor - so now I should make some bad-man drum'n'bass so everyone thinks i'm a bad man'. We just wrote some songs."
