Thoughts

I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting to like this one that much, as I already thought Irish Son was a great song and I’ve loved Almost Here with Delta Goodrem since I first heard it. The rest of the album totally stacks up - although I have to admit to not being surprised Guy Chambers had his hands all over it.

You can tell this is a guy who was dealing with a difficult situation, both personally and professionally. There’s not a lot of sickly sweet love songs on there, particularly as you might expect that from an ex-Westlifer. But instead it’s about coming to terms with your new situation, and I really like that.

Rating: 4 / 5
