On his fourth release in the mainstream market, Will Young once again sticks to what he does best: produce material satisfying to the adult contemporary listener. Once again, he has done so while balancing soft-spoken ballads with effervescent fresh dance tunes pleasing to a general audience, although this time around only a handful of tracks truly excel. As Young matures with every disc he releases, so does his music, as seen on Let It Go. Young evokes George Michael on his first single, "Changes," but keeps up his credibility as he croons "Grace" and shakes up the beat with the album's strongest upbeat track, "Tell Me the Worst." Young's unique tone can also be heard on bright tracks like "If Love Equals Nothing" and "Let It Go." ~ Matthew Chisling
