Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Classically trained, this four-piece vocal group, wowed a captivated audience week after week on The X Factor. Their highly original takes on seemingly untouchable pop classics established them as true one offs and despite coming out of the competition in second place, the act were undoubtedly one of the artistic success stories of the series. This is their second album and looks set to reward the group with even more success. 15 tracks. Sony. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent second album, February 3, 2006

By	Melody - See all my reviews

Once again the G4 lads have come up with an album of great diversity and with something for everyone.
There are big anthemic tracks on here like Barcelona and You're the Voice, the excellently covered Beautiful and Yellow, mixed in with gentler songs with superb harmonies - such as The Last Song, Remember Me and Miss You Nights. The one original track on the album, Another Day, is a real gem, Jon Ansells' soaring vocals are a delight on this song and the album is as diverse in its vocal style as it is in its genre.
Together with fabulous versions of classical songs like La Donna e Mobile and The Pearl Fishers Duet this is another album that the classically trained "essentially British" G4 can be very very proud of!

By	Jessica - See all my reviews

Well G4's second album is just lovely-wonderful production and includes some stunning vocals from the talented G4.There is not one track that I skip over.All excellent but just to give my favourites a mention ..
Barcelona (With Lesley Garrett) -wonderful collaboration my favourite track on the album.
Yellow G4 have gave such positivity to what I think was a pretty dark song by Coldplay-massive song.
Miss You Nights (With Cliff Richard) This collaboration is kept pretty and simple-excellent.
La Donna E Mobile -just love this.More classical songs on the next album please Sony.
Another Day -lovely brand new pop song.More new songs on the next album please Sony.
Last Song -aww Jon puts such emotion into this lovely ballad.
You're The Voice -not a fan of this John Farnham song usually but G4 have brought something extra to you're the voice-big track.
Beautiful -the Christina song..just Beautiful.
Remember Me -this song is so pretty and sad ..lovely vocals.
Au Fond Temple Saint -another favourite..just beautiful vocals.

Well worth buying.

A Kid's Review

The whole album is great, but my favorite is First Of May, that has been a favorite song of mine for years now. Alot of the reviews say that's the worst song on the album, and I'm very quick to disagree! It's terrific! This is definitely a must-have!
