Description
Lee Mead was the triumphant winner of the BBC's "Any Dream Will Do" competition, and subsequently landed the star role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in London's West End. The 26-year-old starlet has recently been busy in the studio recording his eponymous debut album alongside Graham Stack (Ronan Keating, Atomic Kitten). Those expecting the project to be a steady stream of classic theatre tunes are in for a shock: the song "Any Dream Will Do" does make an appearance, but only as a bonus; the rest of the album is a mix of pop covers and new songs, as evinced by lead single "Gonna Make You a Star," originally by David Essex. Other covers here include The Stones' "Paint It Black," and Sugababes' "Stronger"–-choices intended no doubt to showcase Mead’s edgier side, as well as his versatile range. Mixed in with the covers are several new songs, including a slushy ballad ("When I Need You The Most") penned by Take That’s Gary Barlow. Despite the variety of material, Mead can’t help performing in a discernable show tune style, which robs some of the tunes of their original energy. Still, for a debut performance, it’s generally impressive stuff. --Danny McKenna
