Description

Any doubts concerning the longevity of Will Young's career post Pop Idol can be put to rest with one listen of Friday's Child. His first release, From Now On, was a mismatch of covers and styles--hardly a good vehicle for the singer who had to go through so much for the privilege. Now Young has taken what he's good at (soulful voice, housewife appeal) and fed it through some well considered songs and rich production. "Leave Right Now" is pure, premium white soul-pop--superbly written, expertly delivered, with a refrain that is as catchy as any of the disposable pop currently being consumed bymore… the teenage masses. "Love the One You're With" is an acoustic-based, gospel-tinged mélange of "mmms" and "ooohs" and almost tips the title track from being the best song on the album. "Friday's Child" is an epic, stirring, string-based cut that has the luxurious feeling of a sunny afternoon spent reading the papers and wandering from pub to pub. Friday's Child is a timely reminder that pop isn't just for pre-pubescents. There are no half-baked album fillers here (hello Rachel Stephens), no D-side rejects and definitely no Stevie Wonder covers. Will Young has produced an album of substance and for that we should all be grateful. --Cortman Virtue
