You will enjoy this CD because it is unmistakably James Morrison. Romantic, mellow, and earnest.. Love that man's voice! However, this CD it is not as good as his previous release. The songs are missing the fervor-they are good, but not great. I hated the duet especially; it hurt my ears. Looking forward to getting his #3. As a fan, I will always want to hear anything by this artist. I am sure that fellow fans will feel the same. He does have a loyal following, and a special talent all his own.
I loved his first CD so much and couldn't wait to hear this. It is very good, I really enjoy a majority of the songs and know I will listen to it over and over. I did not give a 5 star or excellent rating because I am not a fan of duets with pop singers. Just am not. I would be happier with soley his voice and performance. But, alas, he is a budding popular artist and I have to ride along so I will survive certainly :) Do buy it, a couple songs in particular are uncontrollably replaying in my brain and it's delightful. CD #3 would be in my shopping cart.
