I recommend this simply because of the lyrics and Jude’s voice and how well he sings his lyrics, how well his voice blends in with that.

But, the rest, well… I’m not a pop fan, and when I first listened to this I was cringing, nearly crying. I admit, it is worth getting used to because of the lyrics, which are very beautiful.

But I still am not a fan of pop.

For pop fans, it’s great, for others of my sort, don’t shy away even though the music will seem like torture. Listen to the lyrics and then make your final judgement.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll adore track 9 and love tracks 4, 5, and 12.

And track 10 might grow on you as well.
