---------------------------------------
OLLY MURS...RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME. ***
TRACKS PLAYED...Troublemaker / One of these days.
Very uptempo album but without substance and aimed more at party
people. Good for playing in the car and very easy on the ear. ***
ROBBIE WILLIAMS... TAKE THE CROWN.
TRACKS PLAYED....Candy / Different / Losers.
Interesting album of extremely varied tracks. Robbie twists his voice
to sound different on each track but the standout tracks were both penned
by Gary Barlow. The rest does sound like album fill-ins with one
DISCO track that should have been given to Olly Murs. ***.
