After Tobi's album shot to the top of the charts, now also trying to tie Mike Leon it. He did not write their own songs, but he has, however, brought prominent success as producer Peter Ries and Berndt Wendland on board who have been involved, among other things already in the No Angels, 'N Sync and Silvermoon.
Mike Leon has with his voice above all quiet and soft ballads, the big hits remain but from my opinion. Some songs just do not want so right "stuck in the ear". This applies particularly to "This Ride", "Confessional" and "From the middle". But there are also great songs on the album. With "Do not let it get you down" should the DSDS jury proved right that the song only after repeated listening like one. Ultimately the song Mike-Leon has certainly tasted victory because with Tobias Regner "I still burn" simply had the better song.
Outstanding are then "Winter in July", "Not to love you", "Helpless When She Smiles" and especially "No Ordinary Love", in which the smoky voice of Mike-Leon really good comes into its own. For those who can not wait for a duo with his Vanessa, was still taken, "We've Got Tonight" with the CD.
On the premium edition is next to two videos yet "Love's Divine" by Seal, when can keep the version of Mike Leon loose, if not is still a trace better.
All in all a solid debut from the runner-up of Idol-season. A few more catchy tunes but would have liked a singer with such a magnificent voice. But nevertheless should not regret buying!
