October 22, 201113 yr Free Tesco mag Technology and Entertainment have this full page write up for Echoes on page 44, lovely picture too. :heart: POP IDOL Echoes Will Young. Since winning 2002's Pop Idol. Will Young has proved that he's more than the average talent show contestant, Always keen to find new ways of creating interesting pop, his fifth album is a foray into dance music. Produced by Richard X and with writing credits for the likes of Groove Armada, this dance influence has inspired Young to some of his best work, Echoes finds him in full-on Diva mode, bringing to mind Grace Jones and Antony Hegarty's guest spots with Hercules and Love Affair. With his voice soaring over the sparse synth melodies and clever beats, it turns out the dance floor is the ideal destination for Will Young's Musical journey. :D Same page.. Did You Know? Before winning Pop Idol, Will Young took part In Richard and Judy's This Morning contest to put together a boy band, He was chosen for the group along with a pre-Blue Lee Ryan. Prior to finding fame Will Young used to practise singing late at night in car parks where the local tramps were less than happy to be kept awake byt the noise. Will also has a successful second career in acting. He's appeared in the movie Mrs Henderson Presents, episodes of Miss Marple and Skins, and a theater production of Noel coward's The Vortex.

October 22, 201113 yr My nearest Tesco is 30 odd miles away, so I shan't be going. :( Do you shop online chrysalis? you could ask them to pop one in the bag for you :D Just to add in case i gave the wrong impression, it is an up todate Pix but it's not a new one, It's a gorgeous close up though. :wub:

In any event I think most of them have a 25-30 mileage limit, and won't deliver past that limit even when you're prepared to pay for it. Certainly Waitrose have a limit, and won't deliver. Never mind, but if anyone does get hold of it, I'd be eternally grateful if they could post the pic. :D
October 23, 201113 yr Oh ok chrysalis..i hope you get to see the picture..I'm sure it's on here already somewhere though. :) Saw this on Twitter..nice selection of reviews or Echoes on the link. :D and apparently Echoes is trending on the Arts wrap site? ArtswrapArtswrap It’s been ten years since Will Young won Pop Idol but Echoes is no tribute to past glories but a thrilling new sound. http://aw.am/380

November 20, 201113 yr Thanks to roma. This review is very late to the party, but it is good to see it in a Student magazine just as the Christmas buying season is getting into full swing. ...in fact it is good to see it in a student magazine at all!. http://shulife.co.uk/music/album-review ... ng-echoes/ SHUlife / Music / Album review: Will Young – Echoes Album review: Will Young – Echoes Posted by Adam Kay. Posted in Music Published on November 18, 2011 with No Comments RCA Words: Michael Hudson Released in 2009, Will Young’s greatest hits reminded us all of the lively pop anthems that he sang so well since winning Pop Idol in 2002. His latest album, Echoes, shows a completely different side to him, as he presents 13 deeply emotive tracks, all with a more sombre and often melancholy feel to them. First single Jealousy presented some simple yet powerful lyrics from Young and his production team, matched perfectly with his soft melodious voice. Second single Come On has a strong beat aided with gentle aspects of techno music to create a catchy, inspiring song that audiences are sure to love. Good Things creates a Latin ballroom feel that compliments the soothing ballads such as Lie Next To Me and Silent Valentine. It’s nice to see a calmer approach to music from Will Young. It’s clear that raw emotions have driven this latest album, with lyrics that create real images of love and pain while still delivering congenial tunes that can be played over and over again.

November 20, 201113 yr I'm so in love with 'Runaway'. :wub: I still REALLY wish this had been the follow-up to 'Jealousy', although 'Come On' is good (just not a tenth as good...).

November 29, 201113 yr US Music Site. 2011’s Best Albums: Idolator’s Favorite 10 Out Of ‘11 Will Young, Echoes http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Will-Young-Echoes.jpg RD: Smooth-voiced Will is having a major comeback in his home country of the UK thanks to this album, which is flawlessly produced by Richard X. (Unfortunately, Echoes is currently only available in the States on import.) The music included takes you on a journey through dance, retro-sounding jams and ballads awash with synths and somber piano chords. Lyrically, Young, now 10 years on from becoming the world’s first Idol winner in the franchise, digs deep into his own experiences with heartache and the darker side of relationships. If tasked with only choosing one album from 2011 that really knocked me for a loop, this could well be it. Key Track: Electro-pop perfection is achieved on “Losing Myself”. http://idolator.com/6092572/favorite-albums-2011-idolator
