James Morrison - The Awakening (2011) (Special Editon CD + Full dvd)

Released
three years to the day after his previous LP, the chart-topping Songs
for You, Truths for Me, The Awakening returns James Morrison to the
business of bothering the middle-of-the-road with his Rod
Stewart-meets-Ben Ottewell tones. There are countless worse noises in
pop � but there�s nothing in his voice, fine though it is, that conveys
the emotional weight he should perhaps be carrying after such childhood
hardship (school-days loneliness, and he nearly died as an infant). It�s
a television talent show beast, a chimera of sorts, halfway between the
soul singers he loved growing up and the grit of an indie frontman. It
just exists, peculiarly passionless, when it should grab hold of the
listener and demand that they pay it their utmost attention.
