Since I Last Saw You - Gary Barlow
I am reviewing the album Since I Saw You Last by Gary Barlow which is an excellent album. This was Gary's first solo album in 14 years and featured a duet with Robbie Williams who he had rather an estranged relationship with in Take That but it does seem they have patched things up. Robbie apparently wrote The Ego Has Landed about Gary. Gary was the main frontman and song writer with Take That. When Take That split up people thought he was going to be the next George Michael but his career floundered. His first love is apparently songwriting. This album only reached number 2 but was kept off the number 1 spot by One Direction. He has been a judge for 3 series of The X Factor and even wrote a track for winner Matt Cardle. Since Take That reformed a few years ago his career does seem to be under going a renaissance with him having huge success especially especially with the group. I think he has had 3 solo number 1's and 11 number 1's with Take That. He was born in Cheshire, England in 1971 & apparently Depeche Mode inspired him at an early age. He entered a christmas carol competition run by the BBC and made the semi finals and knew then that he wanted to write songs for a living. I did look at the Wikipedia article on him and do recommend a visit. This album I writing about was apparently written about a lot of things in his personal life.
