Hidden Beach would like to thank all the fans who previously voted for the 3rd single on the previous post a month ago. We considered all of your votes and have moved away from “How It Make You Feel” (162 Votes), “The Real Thing” (277 Votes) and “Wanna Be Loved” (342 Votes)… to “Whenever You’re Around” (527 Votes!!!).

Thanks to all the 1,300 people who voted on the single…. we’re listening and reading your posts….

So that leads us to “Whenever You’re Around” being the 3rd single… already picking up spins at radio stations over the past few weeks.

Here is this week’s radio report:

“My Love”, the second single is still going on strong maintaining in the Top 10 position.

Help both singles to the top… Please request your local radio stations.

At this time we don’t know if there will be a music video for WYA… but stay posted you never know…

Also, stay tuned to hiddenbeach.com as the next record, Unwrapped Vol. 5 will be out in late June. The first song released will be “Get Low” as most of the record will be of southern hip hop flavor.. with a little bit of crunk… stay posted. It’s a great alternative for your kids… it’s Unwrapped.
