Amazon.co.uk Review
Elliott Yamin's debut is so agreeable and well-executed it may well convert hardened R&B experts--the kind who'd normally distance themselves from a disc with a TV pedigree. With sincerity and a voice that vaults itself to places no talent-show contestant should be able to go, Yamin bares his soul here in a way that would do his hero, Donny Hathaway, proud. Tracks like "Take My Breath Away" and "You Are the One" find him twisting a wrench around love-stained lyrics; "I'm the Man" and "Find A Way" flow with hat-in-hand grace (and, in the case of the latter, a scat worthy of a vintage jazz stage); and opener "Movin' On" immortalizes the season five judges'-table words of Paula Abdul: Ellliott Yamin is "one funky white boy." As he proves with this five-star album, he is also among the most gifted artists ever to a turn a stint on the show into a recording career. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews

The very best
I absolutely love this album. Elliot Yamin has such a beautiful voice. My favourite song on the album is "Wait for you". The said song moves me like no song ever has. A lot of other good songs as well. I would highly recommend this album. I hope Yamin continues to release songs and albums of the same caliber.

Disappointing
I hate to say it, but I am disappointed with this c.d. Like many others, I thought that Elliott was the best singer in last year's 'American Idol' and have been looking forward to this release. He is a remarkable vocal talent, but on this c.d. he has been let down by at best a mediocre selection of songs. And I was far from impressed by the backing on some of the early tracks, to me it sounded like a pub trio provided the music - especially the percussion.

Amazing!
I loved Elliott on AI last year and was gutted when he was voted off. However, he has done brilliantly with this debut album. I can't find fault with it, every song is fantastic! Like another reviewer I tend to get very bored with cd's and usually only listen to 3 or 4 songs but every song on this cd is extremely catchy and it is a joy to listen to. On a recent 6 hour journey this cd played on a loop the whole time and we still didn't get bored of it!
