Singles from Let It Go | ||||
Let It Go is the fourth studio album by English singer Will Young. It was released on 27 September 2008. [1] It is Will Young's first album in 3 years, since the release of Keep On in late 2005. The album has now sold over 400,000 copies certified platinum.
The first single released from the album was " Changes", which was released on 15 September 2008 in the UK, and peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart. The second single lifted was " Grace", and despite heavy airplay on music stations and TV music channels, the single only managed to peak at number 33, Young's lowest peak position for a single at the time. "Let It Go" was the third single lifted from the album, released on 2 March 2009 only in the UK, and failed to impact the UK Top 40, peaking at number 58, surpassing "Grace" as his lowest-charting single ever. The fourth and final single released was "Tell Me The Worst", and it served as a club promotional single.

'Let It Go was received extremely well by Observer Music Monthly; garnering four stars, wherein comparisons were drawn between Let It Go and George Michael's album Older. [3] Allmusic editor Matthew Chisling found that "on his fourth release in the mainstream market, Will Young once again sticks to what he does best: produce material satisfying to the adult contemporary listener. Once again, he has done so while balancing soft-spoken ballads with effervescent fresh dance tunes pleasing to a general audience. As Young matures with every disc he releases, so does his music, as seen on Let It Go [...] Young's unique tone is there, but the true hits are hidden and the support is so irritatingly boring that Let It Go fails to sparkle like Young's prior albums have."
