Will he or won't he? (lol)

The second most fabulous Pop Idol winner (Michelle McManus, never forget) has strolled back into our hearts and replaced his increasingly dated - and frankly, fucking boring - piano ballad formula with a much more topical electro-sob story sound, taking pointers from the likes of Hurts and Robyn along the way. Considering prior to hearing the album we were convinced it could be confined to the wet blanket basket along with everything else he's ever done, yet we emerged bona fide fans, well, make of that what you Will (lol). A vast improvement and an exciting new direction for our Will, whose merciless vocal delivery never fails to weaken knees.
