Multi-Platinum artist Will Young releasesEchoeson the 10th anniversary of his first audition for Pop Idol in 2001.Echoesis the follow up to his platinum sellingHitscollection and is his fifth studio album.Echoeshas been produced by Richard X (MIA, Kelis, Goldfrapp) who Will chose after falling in love with Steve Masons (Beta Band)Boys Outsidealbum that Richard produced. WithEchoesWill 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 onEchoesalong with a personally assembled roll call of collaborators including Jim Eliot & Mima Stilwell (Kylie), Andy Cato (Groove Armada) and Pascal Gabriel (Ladyhawke).
