Such an amazing album! Great verses from Kid Cudi and Kanye West on Supernova, Anyone But Him and Everything Is Broken. The album has a very laid back feeling with beautiful and catchy melodies. Hudson's vocal performance is just too good! Best song in my opinion is Stiff Upper Lip. I listened a lot to that song last summer, the song is just perfect in every possible way! A must buy if you're into quality Pop/R&B. Looking forward to new Mr. Hudson projects.
I had to wait a week to get Straight No Chaser because I was meeting Mr. Hudson and you had to buy it from the store, they played it while we were in the queue waiting to meet him and I instantly fell in love with it. As for himself, he is a true gentleman, he's really lush and megga pretty in real life :D The next day, basically all I did was listen to the album and it was really amazing, for the whole 24 hours, most of it was used up listening to each song. They're all really unique and special, they really tell a story.
When I learnt that Mr Hudson had been recording with Kanye West I was slightly worried that this new album would be a complete turn away from A Tale of Two Cities, but this album still retains the original charm of the earlier material with a fresher feel. All the tracks on this album are great and really catchy, the title track being one of the fine hightlights - definately recommended.
