"Uusally after the great success of their boyband or girlband background, many think of solo success as an artist. Few have done it like Robbie Williams and Ronan Keating. Simon Webbe's debut album is a suprising smash. It doesn't sound like a "Blue" album at all. He went with a more pop acoustic feel, smooth R&B and country vibe. It has a little Lighthouse Family groove to it. His top tracks are Lay Your Hands On Me, No Worries, After All This Time, A Little High, Free, Only Love, and Sanctuary. The bonus AVCD includes Simon's 3 videos and Simon talks about each track on camera. It also includes two remixes and B-sides. So here's to Simon Webbe's solo success!! Hopefully like That Take, the boys will get back together in a few years."

I love Simon Webbe

"This CD rocks...Lay Your Hands and No Worries are the best songs on this CD and it's just awesome in general."

"Maybe this CD just caught me at the right moment, but I haven't enjoyed listening to a CD this much in a while. There is a very mellow, very summery sound to this CD. But even more strongly evident than that is the uplifting quality of the songs here. If Simon Webbe never sang or lisened to gospel music, I'd be very, very, very surprised, as it's written all over this album. There are times I've just wanted to lift my hands and sing. And it's not just the sound, but the lyrics, too. Redemption, unending love, waking up to the one you love, angels, sin, hope.



Very warm, very classy, very uplifting. This is going to be a stand-by for some time."
