substantial period of rehabilitation, following on from a serious accident that nearly ended his career after the astounding success of debutGotta Get Thru This.Second First Impressionimplies that it's going to clear up those fundamental questions that baffled everyone from his fans to jealous record company execs alike first time round just who, or whatisDaniel Bedingfield? "The voice of tomorrow", according to the man himself in opener "Growing Up", a start/stop stutterthon that sounds like it was recorded in his New Zealand outhouse whilst high on a vicious morphine binge. "Complicated" only the second song in even has a (surprising passable) muted reggae flavour. However, we're back on what you might call familiar territory with the painfully sharp lyrics and balladry of "Wrap My Words Around" and "Nothing Hurts like Love." Never far from a costume change though--witness the astoundingly good "The Way", which siphons early U2 through Duran Duran. The only conclusion to draw is that Bedders is a complicated man and such confusion only comes from the very admirable trait of putting oneself into one's work. A treat.--Ben Johncock

Growing up is the first song in the album, its s good wee starter song with a cool intro - its very different compared to the rest of his songs. The song breaking is growing up and how its heart breaking and hard. The much hurt you go through in your life. It's a good song I was singing to it so I must like it
Complicated is the second song in the album, its got a Latino style into and beat. You can just imagine Spanish girls dancing to it I personally don't like this song, I think he's better at slow songs rather than beaty songs.
Wrap my words around you is the third song in the album - that's just a beautiful song, it was out in the charts around 2004 when he brought out the album. It's a song about if he wraps the words around her; basically pouring his true feelings to this girl will she stay with him. Brilliant song.
All the attention is the fourth song in the album - Another love song with a bit of a beat - very catchy - I really like this song about how he wants all this girls attention her around all the time. He sings it beautiful.
The way is the fifth song in the album - this song is very kinda dancy - you could dance to it. I am not too fussed on this song, as I say I prefer him singing slow songs, his voice changes a lot when he sings these types of songs.
Sorry is the sixth song in the album - I like this song - it's a slow song with a beat - he sings it beautiful it's a song about hurting someone and trying to say sorry even though he knows he'll do it again "i wanna say im sorry but i in know ill do it again - do it again"
Show me the real you is the seventh song in the album - the song where the album name came from -second first impression of how 2 people met a long time ago and there masking themselves to protect their feelings. I love this song - very good song very catchy.
Don't Giver it all is the eighth song in this album - this is a very beaty song - I don't like this song very mush - I don't like the beat of the song - not my kinda music.
Nothing hurts like love is the ninth song in the album - this song is amazing - very heart felt and can be relate to by so many people. It was brought out in the charts. Probably the main song, which sold the album. It sounds like he got badly hurt by love when he wrote this song.
Holiness is the tenth song in the album - another nice song very nice calm beat - very relaxing. I really like this song starts off very quiet and nice then gets a bit louder. Very very good song.
All the children is the eleventh song in the album - its an ok, not very tuney - piano playing song which is more talking than singing - very short tune aswell.
Bonus Tracks
Draw you - bonus song one - very nice wee tune very easy to learn. It's a slow song about love again very nice. "Draw you into my heart."
A kiss without commitment - bonus song two - This is a lovely wee song - he uses alot of we sayings in his lyrics - "a kiss without commitment is like a flower without the pain" very catchy yet slow, I like this one.
Opinion
All in all I do really like this album. Its very good, I think he does sing better slow songs than fast tunes, he has a perfect voice for ballads. He gets to high pitched for them fast songs, which make it, sound annoying. However he has more ballads and slower songs then fast ones which is good. His lyrics are very strong in his songs, they sound like their coming from real experiences especially the sing nothing hurts like love. Very strong. I would recommend this album to potential buyers - its enjoyable and everyone loves Daniel bedingfield., I almost got to see him in concert but due t a family death I didn't get to see him. But still love him till this day.

Second to none! Review ofSecond First Impression - Daniel Bedingfieldby
funphobic2
Advantages: A mix of songs, great lyrics Disadvantages: Too many ballads
...Daniel is back with his second album 'Second first impression'. Not that he needs a second impression; Bedingfield has come a long way since making tracks from his bedroom. Not only has Daniel's debut album 'Gotta Get Thru This' won critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic, but more importantly, it's been my favourite album over the past 2 years! The reason? It has a mix of everything from rock to R&B, something to suit every mood!
So as far ... ...Very worthy of being the second single from this album. His courageous honesty through lyrics is demonstrated in ‘Sorry’; another ballad, offering a Bohemian Rhapsody like arrangement with sincere, moving lyrics detailing a heartfelt apology for the hurt he caused his sisters for his years of attention deficit hyperactivity. (“ADD is my excuse/And with my excuse I shot you down/And I know I’ve got to change/But I can never work out how”) With just ...

Advantages: some really catchy tunes Disadvantages: only 11 songs on the album- 2 bonus tracks if you live in UK
...that the album is about second chances adn maybe he hopes the second part of his life will be better. The album is aimed at all ages as the front cover looks mature but it still has a bold eye-catching look. I think this album is good compared to the rest of his releases and i hope he has great success in the future as this album is brilliant. He really showcases his talents here as he has written nearly all songs on the album apart from all your ... ...album are playing the piano, lead vocals and human beatbox.
The songs:
Growing up: This song has a really good dance beat to it! I really like this song! Its about how hard growing up is emotionally and mentally. And how no-one understands how hard it is, no-one listens to you even though your the voice of tomorrow
complicated: This song has a reggae beat to it. Its not one of my favourites. Its about how difficult he finds it understanding girls. ...
