Editorial Reviews

Still young in years, on the surface it seems bizarre that Ronan Keating is considered an elder statesman in the realms of UK pop. However, this is the man who experienced international adulation as a member of Boyzone before moving on to manage the almost-as-huge Westlife & embarking on a solo career all of his own, & all before the age of twenty-five. 'Turn It On' is Ronan's third solo set & it marshals in another period of growth for the man as both a songwriter & a performer. Gone are the easily digestible pop biscuits to be replaced by a more thoughtful, considered & rounded collection of ballads & more up-tempo flavors. As well as featuring the live favorite 'This Is Your Song' the album also includes the 'Last Thing On My Mind' duet with Leann Rimes. 12 tracks. Polydor. 2003. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Turn It on (Audio CD)

I have been a huge Ro fan since his days in boyzone, but after the awkward period of his second solo album "Desitation" (coupled with reports that this album had not faired well on the UK charts) I was rather hesitant about purchasing "Turn It On" But, when I was in London shortly after it's release I decided to pick it up anyways and am VERY glad i did. What can I say? "Turn It On" is proof that Ronana has come full circle since his boyzone days. His first album was very poppy and very much like what he had done tiwh bz. In his second album he was trying to express himself, work on songwriting, and breakfree of his bz personna without alienating his audience - with questionable results. This Third album, however, shows that he has grown EXPONENTIALLY as a singer, songwriter, and as a person on the whole. The bonus tracks are genuinely good songs and not simply added on there to make you look like you are getting more. In fact the up-tempo "I Wouldn't Change a Thing" turned out to be one of my favourites on the whole album. The ballads on here, a thing that Ro has always excelled at, such as "Best in Me" are very emotinal and mirror the devotion and love that he has for his family and wife, while "Last Thing On My Mind" (a duet wtth country singer LeAnn Rimes) allows him to sing with someone from the genre of music that he seems to idolize. He has worked on albums in Nashville before, and he has worked with notable songwriters there as well, but to duet with a country singer for an album was a major step for him and the results were amazing. "Last Thing On My Mind" is "pop-py" enough to not lose his audience, but it has a hint of Nashville in it to help spice up the album. If you are looking for an easy listening album that is mature, polished, family friendly, and simply a wonderful listen this is the album for you .... please pick it up today and I promise that you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ronan TURNS IT ON with his 3rd Album, November 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Turn It on (Audio CD)

This is an amazing collection of songs which range from heart-felt love songs to summery and rocky tunes, which clearly showcases the impressive vocal range of Ronan's distinctive voice.

My favourites include TURN IT ON - a great summery song which you can just bop along to, FIRST TIME, which is simply a beautiful love song, LET HER DOWN EASY, sung with so much feeling, and BACK IN THE DAY, which is a great pop track that really gets you going.

The other tracks such as LOST FOR WORDS, SHE BELIEVES IN ME, ON MY WAY, THIS IS YOUR SONG, SHE GETS ME INSIDE, and the bonus track I WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING also rate a mention, as they each in their own right add a different dimension to this fabulous album.

The duet with LeAnn Rimes LAST THING ON MY MIND is a winner too.

This is Ronan's best album yet. This is MUST BUY!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Turn It On You Well Love It, January 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Turn It on (Audio CD)

Ronan has the best voice I have ever heard from any artist of any point in time. I have all of his albums and this one is by far his best work to date. His other albums are awesome in their own right. There is something here for everyone whether it be one of the best love songs you could ever hear with (First Time,This Is Your Song,On My Way) or if you're just in the mode to rock out with (Turn It On Again,Back In The Day). I have over 300 albums of all types of music, and this is by far the best one I own. Turn It On is worth ever penny and a whole lot more. You will not be sorry. So Go And Turn It On. The Best is yet to come. Keep Up The Awesome Work Ro.
