Rebecca Ferguson - Heaven

If you've never heard of Rebecca Ferguson before you heard her new material, you would have no idea she'd come out of X Factor. I'm actually so pleased she didn't win as it's been, as usual, a blessing in disguise. She's managed to keep her original style and rework it with some help, into a superb album receiving rave reviews from all types of critics. This has got to be one of the most promising albums from an X Factor contestant; miles above the rest.

Think of a cross between Duffy, Adele and old Motown music and you get Rebecca's album. I remember seeing Rebecca on her very first audition (well, technically 3rd/4th, but you get the gist) in Manchester and after she'd calmed down and done a couple of songs, her voice just came across as so unique and soothing/soulful. She sang two songs, one I cant remember and the other was 'Amazing Grace' which I remember stuck in my mind and from that moment I remember thinking - 'she will be in the final.' In fact, I think I tweeted her as one to watch on that day... eye for talent eh ;)

Back to the album, its a must have for many music lovers- there's something on there for everyone. My personal favourites are the songs 'Nothing's real but love' and 'Glitter & Gold' but every song on the album is worth a listen, there's not one bad song on there, which is pretty unusual!

In conclusion, I give this album 5/5, what other reason will you need to buy it! Much better than all the usual X factor crap, well done Rebecca!!!!
