Heart On My Sleeve is the third single to be released by Olly Murs from his self titled debut album. The last two songs have seemed to emulate the sound of other artists rather than focus on a sound that suits him. So is it third time lucky with this one?
Sadly, no. This time around it feels as if it’s an emulation of a Take That song, and some times, you might believe it was them or wouldn’t have much difficulty imaging the boys performing it. It’s a ballad yes, but some how the tone of it makes the song seem longer than it is and may have you reaching for the off button.
The single releases probably haven’t grabbed the attention of the casual listener, meaning that they’ve probably given the self titled debut a wide berth. If there is a second album, hopefully Murs will find a sound that he can make his own rather than borrowing from others.
Rating: 2/5
