New edition of “Get Your Heart On!” to be released in France

AUTHOR: Dominika | 2. June 2012 | 1 comment

In just a couple of days, Simple Plan’s 4th studio album “Get Your Heart On!” will already celebrate its 1st anniversary. You probably already know that ever since the record’s first edition (the general one, sold in most countries of the world) came out, Simple Plan kept on releasing new versions of many of their songs, most notably Jet Lag and Summer Paradise.

Since the band has recorded the French version of Jet Lag, featuring Marie-Mai, France has had their own special edition for a while, including this particular version of the song as a bonus track.

But as Simple Plan have recently recorded another French variant of one of their songs – this time Summer Paradise (feat. Sean Paul), it was time to update this French edition with a new one. That’s why starting July 2012, the French fans can pick up their new release of Get Your Heart On!, which will most probably include (as bonus tracks) not only the French version of Jet Lag (feat. Marie-Mai) but this time also the French version of Summer Paradise, which has so far only appeared in a physical form as a single (thanks Helene for the info).

Stating which album is the best one is undoubtedlya very complicated and most importantly a very ungrateful job – “the best” being such a subjective attribute makes the decision-making process very difficult. Yet still many magazines and music websites have recently been publishing lots of “best albums of 2011” lists – and Simple Plan’s 4th studio album is featured on at least two of them:

Alter The Press

According to Alter The Press, Get Your Heart On! reached the no. 8 spot on their TOP10 list of albums of the year:

“Even after twelve years of being together as a band, Simple Plan still manage the churn out the hits one by one with their fourth full-length studio release, ‘Get Your Heart On’. With songs like ‘Jet Lag’, which has already gone double platinum in Australia alone, this album is one not to be missed and has easily stolen the title for best pop/rock album of the year.”

Not only that – Alter The Press has also declared Simple Plan’s “Jet Lag” the best pop song of the year.

Our Zone Mag

Earlier this year Our Zone Mag gave Get Your Heart On! 9 out of 10 points in their review, calling is “simply awesome”. So it’s no wonder this album made it also to the their list of the best albums of 2011:

“This album marked the band’s return to their core pop-punk sound, which had been overshadowed in their previous couple of releases. Get Your Heart On! really embodies the charms of Simple Plan and has to be one of the best pop/rock albums of the year.
