Matthew Ward - Matthew Ward

Advantages: Shayne Ward, lyrics, price
Disadvantages: It doesn't come with a free Shayne Ward

...faster than some, but you wouldn't hear it in a club. Track Six - Until You Good old slow track, Mr Ward sings a love story so well! Track Seven - Some Tears Never Dry More dramatic, another great song. Track Eight - Melt The Snow Probably my least favourite song on the album. Words are good, but its just a bit wishy washy for my liking. Track Nine - Tangled Up Quite a dancy track this one, again with a George Michael sound, still not sure which one this reminds me of either. No problem as far as I'm concerned as I quite like George as well! Track Ten - Just Be Good To Me A redo of the original, slightly more beaty, sings it well. Track Eleven - U Got Me So Very Timberlake style this one. A funky beat in the background, suits his voice, this probably could be played in a club. Track Twelve - You Make Me Wish... Read review

.... Tracks You're not alone and I cry are so westlife/boyzone bland it's difficult to find anything to say about them. What about me is a cheesy lyric pop ballad best forgotten. Back at one also suffers from slightly cheesy lyrics but is better than the previous 3 tracks. Then there are surprise surprise 3 more ballads the first of which someone to love is a pleasant love song the 2nd something worth living for seems to be in the style of daniel bedingfield and lastly a better man which shows off shaynes vocal abilities better than most tracks. The 2nd to last track on the album is next to me and its a mid-tempo soul pop number which is well written and well performed. I think we could see big things from shayne ward in the future but I think this album will sell fast and then be forgotten. Lets hope he gets a second album to develop... Read review

...Before I go further into this review, I should level with you. I do not really listen to this kind of music... ever. But after a bit of a telling off for only reviewing certain genres of music, I have relented and decided to review something which is somewhat alien to me. This actual album review was specifically requested by a rather persistent CIAO member who doesn't appear to be a fan of my current taste in music. (If some of what I say is a bit critical or upsets his fans on this site, I do apologise, but I'm just trying to review this honestly. Don't say I didn't warn you.) The way I have always seen it, Shayne Ward was 'one for the girls' so as of yet, I havent heard much of his music apart from what I have seen on the Television. He achieved notoriety by winning the second series of UK talent contest 'The X-Factor.' He hails... Read review
