Solid CD 
2008-09-23
Really good CD. Like a more poppy version of Ray Lamontaigne. Definitely worth checking out a few of the songs to see if you like the style. If you do, then you will like the whole CD. I think this guy is really talented.
Found 2008-09-02
I saw a grainy video of James Morrison playing "You give me something" and was so impressed by the truthful emotion in which he sang that I purchased "Undiscovered" by chance. I sometimes will make music purchases of new artists that impress me just because I want to be one of few that "discover or find" them. I was right. Morrison's music is touching. His voice, combined with his emotion create a wonderful listen. His music seemed almost immediately "familiar", although uniquely new. I let others take a listen and they too were enthralled and became fans. I found him and others will soon too.
A rare talent with great promise... 2008-06-13
James Morrison's trademark rasp was caused by a case of the whooping cough as a child, and it is just one of the many unique things about Morrison. I first heard Morrison by chance last year when I stumbled across James Morrison in Borders and previewed the album, and then looked him up on YouTube. I became hooked on "Wonderful World" and slowly listened to his other singles. I was slow to buying the entire album because I normally only purchase Christian records, but James Morrison, for me, had a passion so rare in young artist today.
So, does the album live up to my expectations? No, but simply because my expecations were so great based on a year of build-up based on some strong singing and well-written pop songs. Even if it does not live up to my expectations, it is an amazing debut for a someone who was just 22 when it was recorded. His voice exudes passion and a fiercely strong will on "Call the Police" which is probably the best track and the best indication of what James Morrison could become. The rest of the album is kind of a blues-tinged pop record. He sings with soul on tracks like "The Letter", "You Give me Something" and "Undiscovered", but the closest any of his tracks come to the passion of "Call the Police" is "Wonderful World". "Wonderful World" is the closest he comes to perfectly melding his rough and passionate vocals with a polished pop sound, but even that gem leaves something to be desired once you realize what James is capable of vocally.
I would highly reccomend this record, and I extremely excited to see where Morrison goes from here. His biggest weakness on the record is inexperience and on his next record he could either choose to make soulless pop records (which he does write good pop tunes) or really dig up his passion with a bit of experience in life and write some amazing and truly raw and passionate music. I look forward to seeing his metamorphisis, and one can only hope he can really lets go and sings with everything he's got on all the tracks next time around.

One of the best CD's I own 2008-05-30
Every song is great. You'll keep playing a few certain ones over and over because they are real catchy. Just a top quality album overall.
Amazing cd 2008-05-19
I love this cd to pieces, every single song is good. His voice is so different, but make the songs what they are. Hands down one of the best cd's I've ever had. Buy it!!
IT'S LIKE A GREATEST HITS!!!!!!!........... 2008-05-11
International pressing. 'Undiscovered' is the debut album from singer-songwriter sensation, James Morrison. Taking a bluesier, more soulful route than some of his contemporaries, Morrison has drawn on elements of his troubled upbringing to produce an album that has real depth emotionally and musically. Includes the single 'You Give Me Something'. Universal. 2006.
Good voice, but...

I bought the cd based on a couple of songs, not sure what the rest of the album would be like. He has a great voice, but I thought many of the songs were too similar, and not many stood out as something special. Hope he continues to record, but develop a more unique sound.
Better than I suspected!!!! 2008-04-18
When I ordered the James Morrison CD I knew I liked 3 of the songs that I had heard on the radio. Much to my surprise I loved the entire CD. I was so pleased that I could listen to the entire CD without skipping forward. I love this guy!!! His voice is incredible!!!!
A soulful debut full of hope in the twilight 2008-04-08
I think the best word to describe James Morrison's voice is soulful. It has a quality that makes anything he sings genuine and real. Buy CD and listen to it and you will hear for yourself. This singer/songwriter is something special.
The song that first caught my attention was the more up tempo "Wonderful World." ("And I know that it's a wonderful world....But I just want to cry now.") What comes through this song in his voice is hope. I think this is a very therapuetic CD, and I truly mean that as a complement. Here is real emotion laid bare, not all sunshine and lollipops, but not done without hope. I think this is something a lot of people need to hear.
My favorite track, however, is "The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore". This song about a love that just doesn't work any more. OK, so not every song is hopeful...that's why this real. And real good.
Excellent!

I discovered James Morrison on the HD Music channel and couldn't wait to hear the rest of his songs. They are all very good and don't all sound the same.
