Amazon.co.uk Review
Brit-nominated Manchester lad Shayne Ward proved himself a real soul talent and a more than capable balladeer with his debut album, Shayne Ward. This second outing, Breathless is something of a surprise, in that it sees the singer take a more assertive stance, swapping the slowies for uptempo disco, dance and electronic R&B. Recorded in Sweden with legendary pop don Max Martin (Britney Spears, N'SYNC, the Backstreet Boys), the album bristles energetically in a way that Ward's debut didn't. Recent single "If That's Okay With You," showcases the upbeat vibe to some extent, but "No U Hang Up" and "Melt the Snow" come with an even more contemporary feel, while "Tell Him" and "U Got Me So" wouldn't be out of place on a Justin Timberlake album. The reggae groove of "Damaged" works well, as does the album's key ballad, "Breathless". The only downsides are the bizarrely Wham-esque "Tangled Up" and the boring and mediocre "Stand By Your Side". Largely though, this is a triumphant sophomore album from a real British soul survivor. --Danny McKenna

 Shayne finds his own way - great second album! July 17, 2008
In every way, this CD is such a better release than his first album, which built on the post-X-Factor ballad schmalz - here, Shayne can flex his vocal muscles much more freely with an impressive mix of R&B pop originals and a couple of covers. Amongst the latter is one of the best cover versions of Just Be Good To Me that I've heard - a well produced track carried by Shayne's mellow vocal.
Some of the new tracks are quite instant, infectious numbers - you'll find yourself humming the refrain to If That's OK With You when you least expect it - and the number of filler tracks is low (something quite rare in an album these days!). While it might not be album of the year, it's certainly an album Shayne can be proud of, and one that is well worth listening to again and again.

"Breathless";
"No U Hang Up";
"U Got Me So";
"Tanged Up";
"You Make Me Wish"
Breathtaking!! January 27, 2008
"Breathless" has left me just entirely that way! I am always looking for stunning-voiced male singers and Shayne is one of the most extraordinary that I've ever heard. So many singers just sound the same but Shayne is out of this world and few male singers could hit these delicious high notes, delivered to perfection throughout the album in a soft and satiny tone. He could be around for 50 years because he's got such a great voice. It is a much, much better album than the previous which consisted solely of ballads, and though ballads are very much my scene, I prefer to get a mixture and the dance/R&B stuff on here is truly awesome and he sounds 10 000 times better than most people who do that kind of music because he has a terrific voice, beautiful, and, essentially, adaptable. I am really into Kylie and this has the same delicate sensuality and uplifting warmth. "No U Hang Up" is funky, though the lyrics are slightly daft; "Breathless" has somewhat candy-floss lyrical content but is saved by remarkable vocals with rare warmth and dazzling purity. The lyrics to other tracks though, like "You Make Me Wish", "U Got Me So", "Tangled Up" are hot, sexy, sensual, romantic and almost erotic without being crude or explicit (which I find so crass, so common, it so cheapens songs, mentioning no names...Miss Winehouse, ...Mr. Williams...) All in all this cd is sheer loveliness. I vdo not understand the Justin Timberlake comparisons as I found Justin's cd "Futuresex Lovesounds" deadly boring, repetitive and unnerving. Repeating the same line and the same beat 5000x doesn't make you a pop genius. While I can see Justin has a nice voice (if he'd just get some decent songs he might make a good record) I think that Shayne is a 10 000x better singer and the Americans need to check him out (or miss out). But "Breathless" - takes your breath away. Shayne - a class act who could be around for generations.
UK's most talented singer January 20, 2008
Having listened many, many times to Breathless album, I can only say that the range and quality of Shayne Ward's voice and his ability to sing different genres of music credibly, is absolutely breaktaking. His pronounciation and speed of delivery is phenomenal. He has a talent which is not yet appreciated by some in the UK music industry, but I have no doubt that day will come, probably after his May tour of arenas in the UK. You can hear something different everytime you hear this album. Truly amazing. I think the last three songs(in my opinion, the best on the album)show the road Shayne will take.
