One Direction fans heard the demo for "Just Can't Let Her Go," given the fan name at the time "I Just Can't Let Her Go," last summer and exploded in excitement. The minute and a half version that leaked out sounded rough but still kept fans satisfied for a brief moment until they received further world about Midnight Memories. The song did not make the cut for the album, but apparently it was recorded by a teenage pop sensation from Finland named Isac Elliot Lundén, known professionally as Isac Elliot, via Popcrush.
Isac Elliot is no One Direction at this point, but he captures the teen love theme of the tune. It is a shame we do not have the full version from 1D, but the rendition by Elliot and his backing band will do the trick. This was a smart move by his team to take this song and make it his own.
Isac Elliot already has released two top 10 albums in Finland, titled Wake Up World and Follow Me.
The just-turned-14-year-old pop star from Finland is starting to gather momentum in Scandinavia with a large, loyal following of Ellioters — why is every group adding ers to the end of their name for fan groups?
Watch the 14-year-old pop star croon his version above and check out the rough demo from One Direction below.
Though you probably will not hear them sing this one out, One Direction will be doing an expansive "On the Road Again" world tour coming up in 2015. Get the full details here.
