Thomas Spencer-Wortley is yet another crossover tenor attempting the competitive market, and whilst he would normally be washed away by the waves, he can boast of a very talented brother (Oliver Spencer-Wortley) who composes, arranges and is the album's producer. Oliver has written three original tracks on here, which is quite rare for a crossover album, and are most welcome. Also unusual is the fact that the brothers recorded this in their own home, though the rich production of the album does not convey this.
Standard crossover covers include 'You Raise Me Up', 'Un Giorno Per Noi', 'Ave Maria', 'Broken Vow', 'The Prayer' and Andrea Bocelli's 'When We Believe'. 'The Prayer' is able to stand out as it features a sweet crystal like voice from soprano Mairead Carlin, but the rest of the songs struggle to find their own identity.
Better pop covers include the stunning 'The Rose' and the playful 'Always A Woman', originally performed by Billy Joel. 'The Rose' has a beautiful and fulfilling arrangement, and the song is particularly strong at its climax as Thomas demonstrates his power. 'Always A Woman' shows his talent for interpretation and restraint.
The best songs are Oliver's original tracks. The title track, 'Credere' standsout for its melodic piano arrangement and playing. 'Open Road' and 'All That I Need' are pop songs with rich classical arrangements.
Thomas has been described as the 'British Josh Groban' and with five tracks out of twelve previously been recorded by Groban, his fans may find this album too samey compared with him. However, the entire album seems to have been influenced by Groban's pop on verge classical sound so I would recommend this to Josh Groban fans.

A STUNNING ALBUM BY THE UP AND COMING THOMAS SPENCER-WORTLEY.
The title track Credere is a beautiful and moving song, sang in Italian by tenor, Thomas. It has wonderful piano parts in it and will stay in your memory forever. It is hard to imagine that this is a new song with the music composed by Thomas' talented brother Oliver and lyrics by Thomas himself, as it sounds like one of the greats that has been around for generations. Ave Maria has been set to a very strong and powerful arrangement and sits comfortably with modern classics such as She's only a woman to me. If you only buy one album this year, make it this one. It won't disappoint.
