Will Young
"Light My Fire"

Home >> Reviews >> Singles / 2002

Released: 27th May 2002.

Much better than the sickly "Evergreen", Will follows up that mega hit with a delightful, laid back rendition of The Doors' classic. As an early Summer song, this is great to listen to on a sunny day. And I have to admit, when I first heard this song I honestly thought it was The Beautiful South, Will's vocal style here sounds very Paul Heaton-esque!

Last but by no means least this week is Will Young. The Pop Idol winner sold 1.8 million copies of his last single, and following that up will be a tough job. He does so by covering the Doors' classic "Light My Fire", but it isn't anything special. Face it, Will Young is a good singer, but nothing else really. The jury is most definitely still out on whether he will have a lasting career. However, for the moment, the bandwagon is still steaming along nicely, and not even the people who presented the show that made him famous will be able to stop him from topping the chart.
