5.0 out of 5 stars Mind blowing , December 11, 2005

By	R.R. (Chennai, India) - See all my reviews

This album is a gem. I have never heard music from Simon Webbe (or from Blue, the UK band he was a member of). From the lyrics, to the melodious tunes, to the musical arrangement to Simon Webbe's voice - this is Pop Gold.

I rarely fall in love with all tracks on an album from the first listening. I've been mesmeried by this album.

Stand out tracks are "No Worries" (on the top 10 on itunes UK store), "Lay Your Hands on Me" and "Unjustified" and "Ashamed". At the risk of gushing I have to say I think the others are great too. Not a single track I would consider a filler.

Why UK albums dont do as well as they should in the United States is a mystery to me (I am from India where we manage to keep pace with both charts). This album deserves to be promoted internationally.

This is a great album!! Hip and smooth, very good just to listen to, I play it all of the time in my kitchen when I am cooking or just hanging out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best I've Heard in a While...., June 11, 2006

By	Michael Rutherford (LA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Maybe this CD just caught me at the right moment, but I haven't enjoyed listening to a CD this much in a while. There is a very mellow, very summery sound to this CD. But even more strongly evident than that is the uplifting quality of the songs here. If Simon Webbe never sang or lisened to gospel music, I'd be very, very, very surprised, as it's written all over this album. There are times I've just wanted to lift my hands and sing. And it's not just the sound, but the lyrics, too. Redemption, unending love, waking up to the one you love, angels, sin, hope.

Very warm, very classy, very uplifting. This is going to be a stand-by for some time.
