Product Description

'Let It Go' is the fourth studio album from Will Young, an artist who has gone from strength to strength ever since winning the original Pop Idol competition in 2002. With a powerful and accomplished voice that blends soul, blues and pop, Young is able to draw the listener into his world with a superb amount of conviction. Lead single 'Changes' is as much anthemic as it is heartfelt and meaningful. A record to further enhance Will Young's reputation as one of the leading talents in modern pop music. Also includes the single 'Grace' (not a cover of the Jeff Buckley classic).

Amazon.co.uk Review
Still driving people mad around seven years--yes, seven!--after his landmark Pop Idol win (it's almost enough to make you dewy-eyed for the early days of the Simon Cowell TV talent franchise), mainly by refusing to be typecast as a one, or two, or three (etc.) hit wonder and continuing to be so alarmingly consistent, Will Young returns with Let It Go, his fourth--yes, fourth!--album. Of course he's never quite so bold as to actually be alarming; it's easy listening, wholesome, modern soul-lite pop all the way from the former politics graduate, kind of like George Michael without the underlying tension, clawing requirement to prove himself or mind-boggling tabloid scandals. Any of that would just serve to muddy Will's waters unnecessarily, there's purity here like a ripple on the surface of a crystal lake that rebounds languidly to and fro across these 13 tracks, one that is reflected in and a necessary backdrop for his suave, mildly textured and famously powerful voice. There is the sense that he still might not be using it to its full potential as he sounds so comfortable throughout. –-James Berry

Customer Reviews

Stunning
This album is just BEAUTIFUL. There is a perfect mix of slow/ mid-tempo& upbeat numbers. But the stand out thing throughout the album is Wills faultless vocal prowess. His voice is just spinetingling in its smoothness and purity.
Our best British live male artist as well. Go & see him on tour & you will be blown away.

An Album Full To The Brim With Classy Songs.
I rate Will Young's fourth album "Let It Go" as his best yet, I loved Friday's Child and was equally pleased with Keep On, but this album is in danger of wearing away, I just love every song on it, but "Grace" "Won't Look Down" "Tell Me The Worst" "I Wont Give Up" and "Love" are my favourites so far. But I'll not bore you with long explanations about every track, you'll soon find out for yourselves after the first listen, just how good this album is.

Twee!
This washes over you, or rather passes you by, like luke warm used bath water. Surely it is time to call a halt to Young's career. Any more of this kind of manufactured pap and we are in danger of losing the grasp of god music forever!
