Amazon.co.uk Review
Brit-nominated Manchester lad Shayne Ward proved himself a real soul talent and a more than capable balladeer with his debut album, Shayne Ward. This second outing, Breathless is something of a surprise, in that it sees the singer take a more assertive stance, swapping the slowies for uptempo disco, dance and electronic R&B. Recorded in Sweden with legendary pop don Max Martin (Britney Spears, N'SYNC, the Backstreet Boys), the album bristles energetically in a way that Ward’s debut didn’t. Recent single "If That’s Okay With You," showcases the upbeat vibe to some extent, but "No U Hang Up" and "Melt the Snow" come with an even more contemporary feel, while "Tell Him" and "U Got Me So" wouldn’t be out of place on a Justin Timberlake album. The reggae groove of "Damaged" works well, as does the album’s key ballad, "Breathless". The only downsides are the bizarrely Wham-esque "Tangled Up" and the boring and mediocre "Stand By Your Side". Largely though, this is a triumphant sophomore album from a real British soul survivor. --Danny McKenna

CD Description
Two years after winning The X Factor, Manchester-born Shayne Ward follows up his eponymous 2006 debut. While that albumwas predominantly composed of ballads, this release sees Ward "acting his age" with a collection of infectious, uptempo, RnB-influenced pop. Produced by pop supremos extraordinaire Maratone (Britney, Westlife, Celine Dion) and Ryan Tedder (J-Lo, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis), it includes the singles 'Breathless' and the no.2 double A-side hit 'No U HangUp'/'If That's OK With You'.

Customer Reviews

breathless
i wasnt going to get this album,because i was disapointed with his first album,it was all ballads.but i thought what the heck.anyway glad i did.blown away by this one,i am really enjoying it.full of variety.his voice is very easy to listen to and he tackles different styles really well.
loving the retro 80,s stuff.and the final track Tell Him is a stunner.there are only two tracks that let it down a little, If thats ok with you,which is just weird,and just be good to me.but overall a killer album.

Phwooooooar! Fantastic, wonderful, superb!
A phenomenal 2nd album from Shayne - totally wicked! Damaged, Breathless and No U Hang Up are all faves. Just be Good To Me will really take you back to the 80's and Shayne has a great version on here! Go Go Go Shayne!

Justin Who?
I have never made a review on amazon before but felt i had to for this. This is one of the best albums i have ever heard. Every song on it is class. Usually with albums you always get about 3 or 4 that are total crap, but not this one. If you like No You Hang Up / If that's ok with you, then you will love the album as they are probably the weakest songs on it. It has a real Justin Timberlake sound to it, so if you like him then you will love this. The last song ('Tell Him') in fact, actually sounds as though it is Justin Timberlake?
