Amazon.co.uk Review:
Young James Morrison has "success story" written all over him. Drawing influence from soul greats like Cat Stevens, Otis Redding, and Van Morrison, debut album Undiscovered reveals this Rugby-born vocalist has the sort of world-weary voice and songwriting chops to take the Later…With Jools Holland path to mainstream success that's formerly made stars of Damien Rice, James Blunt, and former tour-mate Corinne Bailey Rae. In keeping with his soul influences, much of Undiscovered has a full, warm multi-instrumental sound neatly rendered by Martin Terefe, producer for the likes of KT Tunstall and Ron Sexsmith. "Under The Influence", a passionate upfront love song, is borne along on florid piano and Beatles-esque string arrangements, while the tear-stained "Wonderful World" matches its emotional message ("I know that it's a wonderful world/ But I can't feel it right now") with optimistic brass and cascading percussion. Album stand-outs come with "You Give Me Something" and the closing "Better Man", a solo acoustic number that really showcases the range of Morrison's voice. Purists may still baulk at the prospect of a white lad from the North of England singing soul, but the sure success of Undiscovered ought to prove that a strong voice will always be the bottom line .--Louis Pattison

- Amazing!
I have had this album for over a year now and it just doesn't get old. I get the same tigling sensation from his voice as i did the first time i listened to it, with the added bonus that now i know the words and can sing along.

James Morrison is head and shoulders above the other singer songwriters of his generation, and I greatly anticipate the release of his second album. If it is anywhere near as good as this one, he will have a long and brilliant career ahead of him!

- A decent debut
An unobtrusively pleasant listen from a young singer with a good voice. There is one scary moment when things go a little deliciously awry, the bone crunching "Call The Police" which doesn't sit easily with the rest of the pop-soul sounds on this debut recording. Standout tracks are the hits "You Give Me Something" and the very good "Wonderful World" but one wonders where Morrison could go with a good backing band, as the studio hacks here merely go through the motions, but for a first album it's quite good - even if it could be classed as soul for the Starbucks generation.

- Maybe you need a labotomy to appreciate this stuff?
Having had to listen to the radio friendly unit shifters from this guy I really am puzzled why so many of you like him. His voice is exasperating, as if he keeps running out of air with that annoying whiny vibrato that's in fashion by the pop/soul celebs. Lyrics, sound and style are all pretty much the same old hackneyed pap that I've come to expect from singer songwriters with no hint of originality but rather the same tawdry moan about nothing in particular by an 'artist' (lets use that word loosly) who's only struggle was to find someone tasteless enough to market his collection of monodimensional ballads.

There are far better, far deeper and by far more talented artists out there. Seek them out rather than waste your money here.

- James is a star
James Morrison's debut album is packed with great tunes. A refreshing new talent james has a brilliant, indescriable voice comparable to sweet honey. So many great tunes, but my fave has to be title track 'undiscovered' a real breath of fresh air, now more please James.

- You're missing out ....
If you don't have this in your music collection. It's one of those CD's doesn't have a bad song on it and is totally lisetenable. I bought a copy for my wife to listen to in her car and she had the same opinion, now she's bought a copy for her dad. Say no more.
