Thoughts

Rick Astley is the man of the moment having hosted the BBC’s new year celebrations, and his album from earlier in the year seems to have gone down well. Who would have thought it? With the first week of a new year usually quite slow on new releases, I figured it was a good time to check out that album and I’m glad I did. It’s just some really good, harmless, grown up pop, with good rhythms and fun lyrics. If I had one complaint, it’s that some of the songs sound like others… not in a rip-off way, but just in a ‘oop, bit of George Ezra there’ kind of way.

Rating: 4 / 5
