Guy is back with his third album. His debut album, Just As I Am, went 6 x platinum, selling 430,000 copies! Guy's follow-up album, Beautiful Life, released in 2004, also went platinum, with sales of over 80,000. Guy Sebastian is one of Australia’s premier male vocalists. This was clearly confirmed by ‘Taller, Stronger, Better’, the first single from this album, which debuted at #3 on the ARIA chart. 'Elevator Love' has been confirmed as the second single, and showcases a rockier sound, which is also evident in other songs on the album.

This album is brilliant. It has rock, pop, soul, reggae, ballads, and jazz genres on it, making it an album for everyone. Only 2 tracks on the album were not written by Guy, proving that he is not only a great vocalist, but an amazing songwriter.

Best Uses:

Bottom Line:

Maybe not so much parties - there are a few slower tracks, but there are some worth putting on a party compilation. I have a 5-disc CD player and this CD has occupied one of those 5 places since it was released. Definitely the most exciting singer/songwriter in the country, especially, live. Still hasn't quite found his feet and Australia doesn't get him yet - not really. The sky's the limit for Guy when he eventually gets on track. Possibly needs to concentrate for a while on one genre - which should be soul - but can sing anything really, REALLY well.

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have an unbelievably high experience with this product- as mentioned above it is the only CD in my CD player, the most played on my Ipod, and the only songs that go through my head. I have even analysed the lyrics to his songs for a school English assignment. I am very well versed in them (in other words...I know every lyric)and think about the lyrics in certain songs that help me. I.e. in taller, stronger, better- gives me a fresh outlook on life when I am in a tough situation. I use this album for enjoyment, inspiration and to support this wonderful man who has a special calling on this earth. Guy has been blessed with an incredible gift and we in turn are blessed to have somebody like him. He really has made me taller stronger and better.

Great album which showcases Guys brilliant diversity. His vocal range is amazing. He is a gifted songwriter too. Closer to the sun and Cover on my heart truly beautiful songs, and Taller, stronger better is a very powerful ballad. The upbeat songs are also great. All in all a wonderful album to add to any collection.
