CD Reviews
Guy Sebastian brings you a Beautiful Life

"The sheer brilliance of Guy Sebastian's new album Beautiful Life leaves me spellbound. This album covers the gamut of every emotion. The funky Out With My Baby and Oh Oh makes you want to get up and dance. Wait and How bring to life your most unforgettable love affair. The pathos and feeling in this young man's voice is mind-blowing. How can a 22 year-old touch your heart so poignantly? Guy's duet with Mya, Forever With You, is beautiful and touching. It is hard to comprehend that this remarkable artist, who wrote ten of the fourteen tracks on Beautiful Life, can bring to life every aspect of your emotions.
Make Heaven Wait brought tears to my eyes and Sweetest Berry is sensual and luscious. This album will give you a musical experience you will never forget. Thank you Guy Sebastian for a 'Beautiful Life'."
Just get it

"I hold a deep respect for Guy Sebastian and Paulini! Both did so well on Australian Idol and both have had great success with album releases. On Guy's 2nd release BEAUTIFUL LIFE Guy has arrived.
Once Guy won Australian Idol he released an album within days, and as you could imagine it sounded rushed and poorley produced. ANGEL'S BROUGHT ME HERE was a jam but the rest were only so-so.
This album is in a new league all together! He has spent 2 yrs working on and writing for the album and all the hard work has paid off! I have sent copy's to friends all around the world and the response has been the same each time "WOW!!!"
It's sad to think that a talent such as this may be over looked in the U.S because the air waves are already flooded with artists who for the most all sound the same. Guy has some big name artists lend a hand for this effort. Mya duet's on a track and even Stevie Wonder (who also has a new album out soon) gave his ok for a remake of one of his huge hits I WISH.
I am so happy with this album, and recomend that in addition to this album you purchase Lyfe Jennings new album.
If you are in the U.S or U.K I dont believe that you will be able to listen to samples over AMAZON.COM so GOOGLE guy's name and see if you can pull some samples up, just don't dismiss this album without hearing it or you will sadly miss out on a rare talent.

The Best Album out so far

"Beautiful Life is the 2nd Album from our Guy Sebastian - It is the best album out so far.
The album is mixed with some great funky rnb and great ballads.
There are 14 tracks included in the album. It is hard to choose a favourites because each track is worth to be a number 1 single. But I do love "Oh oh", and "Anthem of Why" - It is great songs to dance to it. I also love :Heaven wait" and Back in the day.
For anyone who does not have a copy of the album, should go out and buy it.

"Guy Sebastian has worked hard to bring an album out with his own flavour.Starting with Out With My Baby, the funky dance / club move, he settles down to Kryptonite, a sumptiously beautiful ballad. To make sure you're still listening he moves into the late night hot chocolate by singing Sweetest Berry with sensuous undertones after which his own Wait pulls at the heartstrings.
Moving right along, Back in the Day and I Wish (yep, the Stevie Wonder cover that is more Stevie!!) sets you up for a party, while Anthem of Why and Story of a Single Man are ballads with a story - any of these would go well for a single.
How by Robin Thicke - sensual, poignant and sexy. Perhaps it describes Guy himself. A duet with Mya, Forever with You - brilliant. How well she sings! Make Heaven Wait, poignant again. Fiend for You and Beautiful Life are dance and electric. The absolute cream in this coffee club classic of an album is Oh Oh. This is the song you play to get everybody up and moving.
Guy has shown how diverse he can be, and what brilliang song writing is about. He's also shown he's the supreme interpreter. This singer would have to be the sexiest, most sensual person I've seen and heard. A unique singer, with a unique character and it shows."
What to say, what to say, what to say ....

"I don't think I can go through track by track. My favourites on this album change every time I play it. It's as if I discover something else to like about the songs every time. (How gushy!) Seeing him live made me hear songs differently too. Maybe because he doesn't try to strictly copy the CDs and his arrangements give you a fresh insight.'Beautiful Life' meets my criteria for a really great album:1. I've played it almost to death and I still don't skip tracks.
2. My favourites change constantly.
3. I find something new in the songs as time goes on.
4. And I LOVE THAT VOICE.Love him live, too. How great were those concerts???"
