Album Description
Available in:
Songs for You, Truths for Me is the second album by English singer, songwriter and guitarist James Morrison, released on 26 September 2008. The album was a commercial success in the UK where it entered the album charts at number three and in Ireland where it topped the charts. It has been certified double Platinum by the BPI with over 700,000 sales and has sold more than 1 million of copies worldwide.
On 29 September 2008, Morrison's second album entitled Songs for You, Truths for Me was released. In the writing process for this album he worked with Dan Wilson, Ryan Tedder, Martin Terefe, Martin Brammer, Chris Braide and Steve Robson. The album also features a duet with Nelly Furtado entitled "Broken Strings", co-written with Fraser T Smith and Nina Woodford. From October 2008 until the end of the year Morrison has toured throughout Europe. When talking about the album at 4Music Presents, Morrison stated that the music had 'moved on' a lot from the first album but that not to the point where fans of his previous album wouldn't be able to 'get it'.
The album was re-released on 16 November 2009, featuring two brand new tracks: "On the Same Side" and "Get to You" (which was the first single of the re-issue of the album and was released on the same day) and a second disc, The Basement Sessions, with acoustic versions of six of his own songs and a Michael Jackson cover "Man in the Mirror".
User Album Review
It's unfortunate that James Morrison shares his name with a high street supermarket. After all, one is famous for purveying budget versions of mass market fodder and the other…well, I'll leave you to decide which is which.
Still, we shouldn't be too hard on James. Given that over a million people bought his debut LP Undiscovered, it would be churlish to slate him for deviating from a successful formula.
Its follow up, Songs For You, Truths For Me is much as expected – twelve pleasantly hummable 'soul' ditties with James' rasping vocals all over them. There's the uptempo radio pop of You Make It Real, the superstar duet Broken Strings - featuring a phoned in performance from Nelly Furtado - and the big ballad, Dream On Hayley, which could easily find its way onto a future set of X Factor auditions.
There's nothing offensive about Songs For You, Truths For Me…except its inoffensiveness. Compared to the smart, adult pop being made by Will Young, it just sounds flat and hollow in comparison. Even the sleek American pop of Please Don't Stop The Rain - co written by Ryan Tedder of One Republic and Bleeding Love fame - can't stop it sounding like an album made by a marketing department for Mothers Day, but delivered six months too late.
James Morrison offers 'real music' for people who think Snow Patrol are 'edgy'. On the same week that Will Young proves that quality and pop aren't exclusive qualities, this amounts to poor timing from Mr Morrison.
