Ahhhh … just ‘cos I’d love to have not just a silly Disney sequel, not just Drake and Josh, but also Will Young on the front page of my site tonight

I was surprised enough by how much I liked the Arctic Monkeys album, I’ve gotta say, I feel positively ashamed by how much I enjoyed Will Young’s “Keep On”. I’m honestly inclined to use the word ‘beautiful’ in describing it. It’s truly an album – the songs gel together and ultimately connect, there’s a real sense of beginning and end, of a theme, of a mood, etc. I stand by my opinion of shows like “Pop Idol”, the show which propelled Young to stardom; but I’ve gotta constrain my accusations to the system, not the product, here. If he continues going the way he’s going at this point, he’s going to end up making something I have no misgivings about calling beautiful. My only complaint here would be that it’s a little too slickly produced – it has that tinny dance/pop sound when I think it could be so much fuller.
