Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It's a difficult dilemma. Stephen Gately, the "cute" one from Boyzone, came out of the closet with his gay lover (albeit with a bit of aggressive tabloid prompting) mere months before the release of New Beginning, his debut solo effort. Gately's revelation elicited more admiration than criticism, but now he's at a crossroads. To camp up his act and court the pink pound? Or stick to the tried-and-tested teeny-ballad blueprint that Boyzone embraced, and eventually made their own? Wisely, Gately has chosen the latter--he hasn't the iconic charisma to carry off a fully-fledged reinvention a la George Michael, nor the natural exuberance of Robbie Williams to transcend his roots. But bland as New Beginning sometimes is, it's a subversive, and sometimes surprisingly frank document of Gately's attempts to hide his sexuality--and his lover--from an adoring public. "I cannot help myself from falling in love," he argues, on "If Only You Were Here". To his credit, he sounds like he's enjoying it all immensely. --Louis Pattison
