This album of once known boyband pop group Blue's Lee Ryan is a fantastic collection of fun, hip and beautiful ballad songs. I think that the best song on the album is 'real love' as its fun, great to dance too and also one of the covering tracks from the hit film 'madagascar'. Not too keen on the last track although overall the album is quality to listen too, and a pleasure to listen to his talented, soulful voice.
As a member of Blue, Lee Ryan was a part of one of the biggest acts of his era. His solo debut single "Army of Lovers" is a good signpost towards the stripped-back sound of his first self-titled album. Eschewing easy US RnB references for more classic soul influences from Marvin Gaye, Maxwell and Luther Vandross, and mingling this with acoustic instrumentation has produced a strong, unique sound that you can instantly imagine yourself humming along to on MTV or the radio. Accessible pop values are used to great effect, his elegant but candid delivery takes the material straight to the heart.
After the huge success that was Blue, youngest member Lee Ryan steps out on his own with this self-titled debut release. The album steers clear of the slick, modern US-style R&B that was evident on 2001's 'All Rise' and 2002's 'One Love'. Instead, Ryan opts for a classic soul sound - largely backedby acoustic instrumentation - and takes influence from artists such as Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross and Maxwell. The lead single, 'Army Of Lovers', is included. A must buy !
