5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Debut, November 20, 2008

Great debut here from a very young and up and coming singer with a voice and tone to die for.
The album has many highlights Don't Call This Love, Stargazing and Ordinary Days are sublime ballads.
Stargazing was written by Alan Chang (Michael Buble's co-writer especially for Leon).
Creative is a great toe tapping track that is being released as the 2nd single that in my mind should have been the first single but alas record companies don't always get it right.
Could do better could be a fabulous Bond theme.
There are some covers of course the fabulous Ray Charles number You Don't Know Me which is probably the song that won Leon the X Factor (the UK's equivalent of American Idol).
Caledonia an ode to Leon's Scottish heritage is superb and a song I had personally never heard before.
I urge you to give this album ago you might find yourself surprised to realise this young lad is only 19 and prior to entering the X Factor had only sang publically a handful of times doing kareoke and had never had a singing lesson in his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crooner Kid, December 8, 2008

By 

Smarty Pants - See all my reviews

This review is from: Right Now (Audio CD)

This is an excellent debut album from the 2007 UK X Factor winner. It is full of rich vocals at times so retro and at times so contemporary.

It's hard to bear in mind that this is a 19 year old kid until you remind yourself that he has been given a rare talent. His vocal tone is something that is rich an natural...these songs suit him so well. 'Creative' is a massive hit waiting to happen and it is a feel good, up tempo song for New Year's Eve parties.

Get this album....it's seriously good and sung with a rare and serious talent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fine Effort, November 28, 2008

Paul A. Kirwan (Ireland) - See all my reviews

Leon Jackson, Scottish winner of Britain's 2007 X-factor competition, releases a fine debut album. Let's be honest here and realise that there is nothing new about this album and some of the 'covers' on this collection have been done better by his peers (namely:Michael Buble). However, with that said..he does possess a quality vocal and the production on the album is superb. He delivers a solid performance here and I liked it. His version of 'Caledonia' is better than good, and two hit singles 'Don't Call This Love' and 'When You Believe' are perfect pop ditties. Followed up with the beautiful ballads 'Song For You' and 'Misty Blue', there is something for everyone here. Worth buying.
