Album review: James Morrison
JAMES MORRISON Songs For You Truths For Me ** Polydor 1779250, £12.99
The follow-up to his million-selling debut is uninspired and unfortunate. It's the same formula, but the Stevie Wonder karaoke routine is more washed out and colourless this time round.
Big ballad 'Dream On Hayley' is all technique and, for the blue-eyed boy of blue-eyed UK soul, rather, er, soul-less. The duet with Nelly Furtado, 'Broken Strings', sounds lamentably pedestrian and 'Once When I Was Little' is even more lame than the title suggests. A good voice, forlornly bogged down in routine songs and strangely leaden arrangements.
