Biography

Biography by Heather Phares

In the tradition of British and Irish boy bands like Take That and Boyzone comes Dublin's Westlife. The group's first single, 1999's "Flying Without Wings," entered the U.K. charts at number one, a feat they replicated with "Seasons in the Sun" and "Swear It Again" in 2000. Their self-titled debut album met with similar chart-topping success and quickly went platinum in… Read more in Amazon's Westlife Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Westlife had announced that their third album, A World Of Our Own, would mark something of a departure for them as they eschewed their staple fodder of endless ballads, mixing things up a bit with up-tempo numbers. It could have gone all Spice Girls on them, but fortunately they've stayed true to their pop roots, and yes, amongst the ballads are some great pop stompers, but they all seem to fit nicely into the "steady" Westlife mold. Comic Relief single "Uptown Girl" makes a welcome appearance, as does the pop perfection of European smash "When You're Looking Like That", which radically reworks a ballad from their previous album Coast To Coast into something that Roxette would have been proud of 10 years ago. The vocals throughout are far more prominent and confident than on their previous outings, no doubt as a result of the extensive tour that they undertook between recording this album and its predecessor. And, as they continue to rewrite the record books with every record they release, Westlife really do seem to be in a class and world of their own. --Helen Marquis

Following the huge success of the self-titled debut and the follow-up "Coast to Coast" Westlife certainly had a difficult act to follow with "World of our Own". The boys have lived under the shadow of Boyzone, but this album finally seems them break the chain and show a maturity far beyond a third album. A track by track listing follows:

1. Queen Of My Heart - 8/10
A superb opening track, coupled with lashings of guitar and fantastic harmonies as the boys join together in the chorus.

2. Bob Bob Baby - 8/10
An upbeat song, good strong beat which makes you want to dance.

3. I Cry - 9/10
A latino influence on this ballad. Very laid back and wistful song about what you had that is now gone.

4. Uptown Girl - 8/10
A cover of the Billy Joel hit, released for Comic Relief. A very good take-off.

5. Why Do I Love You - 10/10
Heartfelt ballad, strong chorus and bridge. Song about just why do you love someone?

6. I Wanna Grow Old With You - 9/10
One of the songs on the album destined to become a classic. Brilliant ballad, with superb vocals from Shane. Reminisces of a love which could last forever.

7. When You're Looking Like That - 10/10
One of the main killer tracks on the album, this remixed version from their former album this song will have you dancing in your sleep.

8. Evergreen - 8/10
A ballad with a strong chorus - epitomising the vocal talents of the guys when in melody.

9. World Of Our Own - 9/10
Title track, a track with a strong beat. A "tap your feet" song. Very cheerful and a good chorus.

10. To Be Loved - 8/10
Slowed down ballad with mainly a piano accompaniament.

11. Drive - 10/10
If you've heard "No Place That Far" you'll know what to expect from this. A slow start which leads into a strong, bold chorus. Excellent.

12. If Your Heart's Not In It - 10/10
For me this is the track which makes the album - the sort of ballad which brings tears to your eyes. A superb piano piece coupled with equally as good vocals from that man, Shane. The sort of song you wanna put on before you cuddle up to the one you love. As the track progresses the background becomes more subtle and succinct. The combination of vocals comes at exactly the right times to create a fantastic musical experience - certainly the best I've heard in a long long time.

13. When You Come Around - 8/10
Upbeat track, very uplifting - good combinations of vocals again. Very dancy - reminds me of "Ready or not" by A1...

14. Don't Say It's Too Late - 9/10
A ballad again with a strong piano influence. Clear, concise lyrics. Verse merges into chorus almost transparently. The combination of vocals in the chorus again outlines the strengths of Westlife.

15. Don't Let Me Go - 8/10
A very "big-band" influence on this track. Lead vocals are passed from Shane for this track. A soulful track with a good rhythm

16. Walk Away - 9/10
Passive electric guitars, and verses almost sung as rhymes. Brill instrumental throughout and good vocals. oh, forgot to mention...strong chorus ;-)

17. Love Crime - 9/10
Another upbeat track, somewhat early 90's disco. Good rhythm, and shows another aspect of Westlife. Decent track.

18. Imaginary Diva - 4/10
Hmm, the ONE weak track on the album...enough said.

19. Angel - 10/10
Soulful ballad, accompaniment purely from piano. Shows the range of vocal talents that the group possess.

20. There's a hidden track at the end of Angel. Quite dancy and a nice end to the album.

This is the best album I've heard in a long time, and I listen to a lot of music. It follows a tried and tested formula but the sheer quality of tracks will surprise even the most sceptical of Westlife.

It does not ashame me to admit that I'm a male Westlife fan; and on the basis of this album - here's a toast to many more to come. Cheers! 10/10.

Their best ever! 18 Nov 2001
Format:Audio CD
The Westlife lads are not trying some publicity stunt when they say that this album is better than their first two combined.

Songs to watch out for are Bop Bop Baby, Evergreen, I Want To Grow Old With You, Why Do I Love You and the title track World of Our Own.

It has a good mix of sappy love songs but the funky tracks are a fresh breathe of air and balances out the album. It is also good to hear that the lead vocals are not done by Shane Filan alone. Nicky Byrne's vocals are less scratchy from the first album. Kian Egan's vocals, although spread very thinly, are brilliant. Bryan McFadden and Mark Feehily shine through in their parts.

Their writing skills have also improved and I only expect more and better from them now. Any non-Westlife fan will have a change of heart once they listen to this album. Another No. 1, lads!!!!

Pretty wicked 15 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
as someone who could win the award for europe's most cynical teenager, former westlife fan, who hates pop music as a general rule, i was fairly horrified when my best mate presented me with this album on monday morning..... i sat and gaped at it for a while, before convincing myself to put it in the CD player and press 'play'. and now i'm glad i did. this is what went through my head as i sat and listened.....
Track 1 - Queen of my heart : a bit unbalanced, it doesn't quite work, a bit samey, but very westlife.
Track 2 - Bop Bop Baby :I was suspicious of the title, but now i can't stay in my chair, i have to dance. the lyrics are actually quite depressing, but you have to, you must sing along!
Track 3 - I Cry : a fantastic song, a little bit of latino, but nice, a snuggly song.
Track 4 - Uptown Girl : very cool former number one, very poppy, very 80s, but a definite likeable one.
Track 5 - Why Do I Love You?: my favourite song, i've had it stuck in my head all week, it really hit a nerve with me, and i love it.
Track 6 - I Wanna Grow Old With You : a bit cheesy, not a fan of this.
Track 7 - When You're Looking Like That : the remix is EXACTLY the same as the very irritating original. why did they bother putting this one on?
Track 8 - Evergreen : I like it! it's got the traditional westlife intro, and sounds very much like they're about to jump up off their stools, and sounds like another of their songs but i cant work out which one!
Track 9 - World Of Our Own - title track, poppy, annoying, doesn't do anything for me (unlike mark feehily mwah ha ha!) but you have to sing and bounce along!
Track 10 - To Be Loved : the first time i have cried at a song in months. very moving, makes you want to hug that someone so badly.....
Track 11 - Drive : lyrics remind me of 'no place taht far' from 'coast to coast', quite samey.
Track 12 - If Your Heart's Not In It : one that you need someone or something to hug for.
Track 13 - When You Come Around : a very wicked one, i like this a lot, it makes me wanna dance!
Track 14 - Don't Say It's Too Late : something faintly 'swear it again' ish about it, but it's nice, and reminiscent of older westlife stuff.
Track 15 - Don't Let Me Go : trying to be dancey, it's a bit cheesy, i'm not convinced on this one, but a grower.
Track 16 - Walk Away : one of the stronger tracks of the album, one you can get stuck in your head, and good to sing along to.
Track 17 - Love Crime : HATE IT! definitely the worst one, they should have left this out, it's awful, cheesy and just tooo bad
Track 18 - mark's voice.....amazing. but you can tell that they wrote it themselves, although it's a singable one, and is good for tidying up to!
Track 19 - Angel : sounds like they're about to start singing about the twin towers or something, it's really depressing, but very moving, i like it a lot
hidden track - bad girls : very very naughty for westlife! i was shocked, what would their mothers say??? but wicked, and breaks the mould a bit!

if in doubt, buy it then take it back if you hate it : which you won't. trust me on that.
