Incredible dance-pop!, October 24, 2001
Okay, so there's no doubt that Adam Rickitt is a great looking guy. However, did you know that he can actually sing catchy dance-pop tunes that are better than most anything that's out right now? Believe it! WHY this release wasn't huge in the USA, I'll never know. There are 5 tracks on this import CD that would've been mega-hits if done by 'NSync or O-Town! Listen to "I Breathe Again", "Everything My Heart Desires", "You Make Me Believe in Love", "Time Is On Our Side" and "Dreaming" in that order and see if you can possibly disagree. Mind you, there's not a throwaway track on this CD. I got this version because of the 2 bonus tracks, and am truly glad I invested the extra money!
I've heard that Adam has abandoned his singing career, and frankly, I think that's a shame. He co-wrote some of the tracks on this CD - his first release, and that's a rarity in the dance-pop arena. Most guys just sing and dance until they're criticized for being puppets, and only then do they try to expand their skills. The songs that Adam wrote/co-wrote are good, and I hope we have a chance to hear more.
For whatever reason, male solo singers from the UK (including Adam, Kavana and Barratt Waugh) never gain much attention in the USA. If that's the reason that some of these talented guys hang it up so quickly, we're all missing what could've been. Give this CD a chance, and not just because he's easy on the eyes.

Dancing With Adam, January 7, 2001
I was just sitting here listening to this cd again, and thought...hmmmm i should write a review. It is a very bouncy dance cd. Most of the tracks are geared towards dance music. He wrote a number of the tracks on the cd, so you know that he was feeling every thing he is singing. Listening to it you can just imagine that you are in some London club with the lights pulsing and the crowd moving to every beat. But once in a while a nice slow ballad comes along so you can sit down and take a breather. hehe. I think I am going to listen to this one....AGAIN!

Sensational, April 8, 2001
I first heard about Adam Rickitt at a video bar here in Houston. They showed the video for "Everything My Heart Desires". Since then, I was hooked. I bought the CD and I must say that it is an irresistably good dance album! Adam even wrote some of the songs (a rarity with this kind of music)! His voice is sweet and melodic and the songs have plenty of energy. You can't help but imagine a packed dance club when you hear songs like "I Breathe Again", "Time Is On Our Side", "Good Times", or "Heart And Soul" just to name a few. I don't think this album will make it to the US considering he's rumored to be working on a new album as well as on other projects. But if future releases reach us here, I'm sure Adam will take the US by storm. He's a very talented young artist, and he's not bad-looking either!!! :)
