2013’s King of the Jungle and former Westlifer Kian Egan release’s his debut solo album, Home.
Before we go any futher, let’s make it clear; this is an album of covers. Opening with the title track, Daughtry’s Home we get a sense of where this album is going before we head into Rascal Flatt’s What Hurts The Most. Hoobastank’s The Reason slows the tempo before heading into the piano driven Not A Day Goes By.
The tempo picks up with Lady Antebelum track I Run To You, a duet with Jodie Albert, that works pretty well with their voices harmonising well. Guitar driven I’ll Be follows before I’m Ready, which has a bit of a celtic feel to it.
Waiting For Superman has the feeling of a general pop ballad before the 3 Doors Down track Here Without You. Finally, the album closes with a slow number in the form of Wanted.
As we said at the start, this is an album of covers and therefore makes it feel very safe. It feels very much in his comfort zone, nothing to challenge him. And there just seems to be a little issue of balance between instruments and vocals. It feels at times as if he is being drowned by the music, which sadly distracts from what could have been an alright album
Rating: 3/5
