Music review - Will Young



This weeks music review is the evergreen Will Young. 2005 was a very good year for Mr Young, with his tour selling well and and a new album - Keep On.
Since arriving on our screens and winning Pop Idol in 2002 Will has had four number 1 singles and two number 1 albums.
His latest offering is called Keep On, and one of the key songs on it is the title track that brings to mind the lascivious groove of George Michael's 'I Want Your Sex'. Keep On and Switch It On come from a similar place. Switch it on is Will basically saying "there's more to me than just a ballad" as it is noticeably different to anything he has ever done before
My favourite track from the album, and the originally intended comeback song is All Time Love. It's an elegant ballad, and may well join 'Leave Right Now' as a modern standard. Young nailed the lyric in one take – he knows how to sing songs like that. He thought, however, that as a defiant act of his "moving on as an artist" he should release switch it on first.
To further showcase the man's seemingly endless talent he can currently be seen on the big screen, playing a part in Mrs Henderson Presents.
All time love is released on the 16th January.
