Changes and Let it Go.

Will Young kicked off his last album campaign with a noisy, clattering single and a video that sent up the homo-erotic elements of Top Gun(i.e. most of it). This time around, having been away from the charts for nearly two-and-a-half years, he's taking no chances, leading with a very tasteful, very adult pop song.
Actually, 'Changes' is a close-ish relation to James Morrison's 'You Give Me Something' - no surprise really, seeing as both were penned by chart-friendly songwriter Eg White. Excitement is conspicuous in its absence, but there's an intriguing hint of desolation lurking just beneath the radio gloss ("Hope my life changes, gets alright somehow") and, like Young himself, this has class and dignity to burn.

After two years away recording and further pursuing acting following his successful role in "Mrs Henderson Presents", the original and the best Pop Idol is back. Will's first single to be lifted from his new, fourth album "Let It Go" is a beguiling number - as if "Leave Right Now" had been set to the tune of "Tales Of The Unexpected" - and one that's already gained a strong following at radio and at festivals. Expect another huge hit for Master Young then.
