Go Disco Joe!



Joe has gone Disco with his debut album! Our Xfactor winner has finally landed with a pure pop album thats much more fun than any of the previous winners of the show. 

Leading the party is the first proper single released from McElderry, the camp and infectiously fizzy Ambitions. Do you know the moves yet??! 

Then into Someone Wake Me Up, the fast paced delight should have been the first single. Its a anthemic tune. 

Of course it wouldn't be the Joe we know and love from the telly without a couple of ballads. His vocals shine on Superman and the summery Smile

My favourites on the album are Real Late Starter, it shows he has a wicked side to him and a sense of humour that goes with it! Also the Scissor Sisters sound-a-like on the highly camp Fahrenheit. 

Keeping the album upbeat with Until The Stars Run Out and Feel The Fire, both good songs, but do not stand out as well as the rest. 


The Climb also features as a bonus track. Enough said. Really doesn't fit with the rest of the album. 

By far the best song on Wide Awake is Love and War, its a sparkly song and very melodic. And its incredibly catchy!


But my personal favourite is Real Late Starter, I like the attitude of the song and I can relate to it. It will be one of three songs that you will still be humming when you have finished listening....(Love and War...Fahrenheit) 

Overall Wide Awake is a joyous disco-dazzler!
