Will Young - Switch It On / Keep On
"I don't want people to not know who I am. I don't want to be pigeonholed as the new George Michael, or the guy that won the reality TV show, or Mick Hucknall for the Noughties, or whatever nonsense gets said. It's just me and it's about having a bit of self-belief and turning up the volume a bit" - Will Young, in a café by the Thames, November 2005
Hold onto your trilby... In fact, take off your trilby and jump all over it... Will Young is back more confident and at ease with himself and his music.
In less than four years he's won two Brits, had four Number One singles, two Number One albums, and sold out his last tour in 30 minutes.
His first single was the fastest selling chart debut by a male artist. Aged 26, the boy from Berkshire is sharper, funnier, more confident, and all growed up. He's got a bit of perspective and he knows how TV, celebrity culture and the pop sausage factory work. But all of that is necessarily two-dimensional. Will Young isn't.
