Review
Life must seem unreal for the one-time bin man and X Factor hero Andy Abraham, hence the title of his debut album The Impossible Dream, a collection of ballads and soul classics which he strolls though with notable ease.
Wielding a vocal style instantly comparable to Luther Vandross and Lionel Ritchie, he has such a talent it's regrettable the majority of this 14-track record is largely comprised of covers.
But what covers they are! Check out his X Factor showstopper "Me and Mrs Jones", and glorious versions of "When A Man Loves A Woman", "The Greatest Love of All", "When I Fall in Love", and "Unforgettable". A handful of original tunes include funky floor-filler "Hang Up", a worthy opener.
Andy has said he hopes to follow in the footsteps of late greats Luther Vandross, Lou Rawls and Barry White; he certainly has the ability, and this excellent first album should set him on track. --Lisa Haines

Well just listened to Andy's album, and I have to say I was very very impressed. Perhaps I am getting old but this album is certainly my favorite of the last few years. If like Nat King Cole or George Benson this album will be one of your favorites too. Certainly this is very much a covers album, but the likes of Johnny Mathis have been doing this with amazing success for many years. The mellow tones of all the ballads are exceptional, however one record that stands out in my mind is Stevie Wonders Lately. Andy delivers this with such passion that it really does take on a new form.
I do hope that the record producers do not let the talent of Andy Abraham slip away, as they have other talent, because this would be one amazing loss.
Brilliant album Andy and I can't wait for the next one.

This CD is enjoyable for any time. Andy's voice is great to listen to. Very relaxing and great for easy listening, whilst being varied and interesting. Andy's interpretation of the songs is excellent, and not too different from the originals so retains the beauty of the songs. Great for listening to in the car as well. Anyone of any age can enjoy this CD. On TV Andy came over as a real nice guy and I wish him every success in his career. I hope there will be lots more CD's from Andy.

Grows on you
Andy sings the songs with passion. Still not convinced it's with the same passion he sang with on the X Factor show, but that's TV! An excellent album from an excellent singer!

Cheesy but nice
This album maybe a bit cheesy but it is top of-the-milk cream cheese. The songs are, of course 'covers', Andy was a winner of a singing competition, not a song-writing... Read more
