Just listened to his new album twice through... Production by Richard X sounds tight and it's just a very good album, which i'll definitely be purchasing when released this Monday. Anyone else heard it? Thoughts???

A brilliant comeback album. Jealously is a GREAT come back single. A truly exceptional talent live.

Hats off to you losthighway for the post.

I work at HMV So I have indeed heard it.

The reason I haven't posted here is because to be honest with you I am not a Will Young fan. He seems like a decent chap when I see him interviewed in TV and the like, so I don't want to be too hard on him, I just find his music a bit bland for my liking. If I can be positive about it for a moment though, it is more listenable than a lot of the tripe that we play in the shop and that is in the charts at the moment, for example, i would rather listen to the new Will Young album for an hour than listen to another minute of Bruno Mars, JLS, LMFAO, or other such artists.

But overall I am not a fan of his, and this new album did little to change my mind of that.

Sorry.

Don't apologise! It's an opinion moon... better than nothing at all!!

To be honest, i've not really followed Will for a few years now but after listening to his album online via Facebook pre-release it really impressed me, so ended up buying it. I agree though... those other acts you mentioned would indeed make my ears bleed too!

I think this album is pure class. I think Hearts on Fire and Happy now are really moving and I love how dramtic Will can be. I think this is a really worthwhile album!

I also love how WIll's voice really suits musical theatre and often his music videos reflect the style.

I hard that Will Young will star in the new revival of Cabaret in London from October. I AM SO excited that he has finally taken this step towards true musical theatre as he is just a natural born performer! Maybe one day he will release an album of show tunes or big band numbers like Robbie Williams Swing When You're Winning?

What a great, genuine and talented guy! Good luck Will!
