Hey, Stay CD2 contains a live B-Side of Stephen in the Boyzone era, singing a nice song, Games Of Love (originally from the 'A Different Beat' album) and an interesting feature: Earlier this year he asked us, fans, to send him questions via his website and Brit group Hear'Say interviewed him with 20 of those questions... how is that related to this CD? The enhanced section of Stay CD2 is the interview! Loads of fun! Oh, and it is a really limited edition, in many places over UK it's already gone, so grab yours!

This was Gately's final single before parting with his record label and it is his best to date. Current, fresh and catchy, "Stay" was an album track that was revamped for a single release. Often we see reworked songs flop but this one is a definite improvement to the original!

You can't help but dance along to "Stay" and Gately's vocals suit the up-tempo pop tune! It's easy to identify how Boyzone was so successful with the presence of Gately and his noticeable talent.

Track two; "I can dream" is the complete opposite of "Stay". It's a slow, sweet ballad but it suits Gately's voice one hundred percent. Originally expected to be recorded with Emma Bunton, Gately ended up singing the whole song solo, and I think the final product deletes any doubts Gately may have had about do so. He convincingly paints a picture of how hard it can be for lovers to be separated by distance and this is done so by the emotion driven vocals.

The "Almighty remix" of "Stay" is very commendable, although it takes a little too long to reach the vocals (over two minutes!) which tested my patience a bit! The song works suprisingly well as a remix although at times the beat is a little too fast for the vocals and it sounds a bit too sped up. Well worth a listen though

If you appreciate great pop or a sweet ballad then I would definately recommend purchasing this single! The bonus video clip of "Stay" is also a reason to buy the single as it's a great clip, very fun, with a dance routine that makes you wish you were as co-ordinated as Gately!

This single is well worth the money. Im glad I bought it. The song "Stay" and the remix are fabulous. "I Can Dream" is beautiful. The video is a nice extra. I never knew who Stephen was. I found out about him while browsing Amazon. He is one of my new fave male artists. Unfortunately, I just recieved word he is finished with the music industry. He will not record a second album. If anyone who reads this review is thinking about buying his album and singles, please, dont hesitate. Buy them while you still can. You wont regret it.

Stephen may just have saved his carear with another corker from his album New Beginning. This time iis more up beat in a kind of Britney Spears style. This is my second favourite track on the album(after I Believe) but i think its the one that is going to get him some new fans, and about time too. If you havent got his album yet(Why Not) then i recommend that you buy itas its full of top class songs like this one

That's the third single taken from our man's album. It's a different one now: an upbeat song and the video (which by the way is contained on this CD as Enhanced Section) simply rocks! You will not regret taking some time to listen to these songs. Oh, by the way, the B-Side I Can Dream was written by Stephen thinking of a duet with Emma Bunton, Baby Spice, but it did not happen, unfortunately! But it's a very nice song anyway.
