Blue was never a popular act in my country (Mexico) so I had no idea about the existence of Simon Webbe but about 5 months ago I was introduced to his music via NG and I have to say he's the best musical discovery I've made in years!
He's got an amazing, smooth, soothing, soulful voice that can leave one in awe. Now mix that with awesome catchy music and simple-but-not-dumb lyrics and you get the perfect pop/r&b artist.
However, I'm not exactly fond of his current single "Coming Around Again" as it's generic-sounding to me, he needs to stick to songs like his masterpiece "After All This Time".
There are much better potential singles on his latest album called "Grace", like "Seventeen" which has an infectious beat slightly resembling reggaeton, or the unrequited-love anthem "My Soul Pleads For You".
Still I hope one day he releases stuff in my country so everybody sees how awesome of an artist he is. In the meantime I'm gonna keep whoring his best song: "Free" from his debut album "Sanctuary".
Who else loves this asshole?
