Short description
Multi-Platinum artist Will Young releases Echoes on the 10th anniversary of his first audition for Pop Idol in 2001. Echoes is the follow up to his platinum selling Hits collection and is his fifth studio album. Echoes has been produced by Richard X (MIA, Kelis, Goldfrapp) who Will chose after falling in love with Steve Masons (Beta Band) Boys Outside album that Richard produced. With Echoes Will has sidestepped some of his traditional sounds to move more into the world of electronic music, making an album of sophistry and gentility that pulses with the undercurrents of the dance-floor. The sweeping strings and key changes of his hit ballads have made way for synthesised melody, towards something sparer and more controlled. Will wrote all but one song on Echoes along with a personally assembled roll call of collaborators including Jim Eliot & Mima Stilwell (Kylie), Andy Cato (Groove Armada) and Pascal Gabriel (Ladyhawke).
