Lemar: 'Weight Of The World'

Releasing a fourth album after graduating from Fame Academy is quite an accomplishment. And with more top 10 singles than all of his fellow contestants combined, Lemar certainly deserves a pat on the back. Unfortunately though, if you were to ask the average music fan to hum one of his tunes since 'If There's Any Justice', you'd probably be met with a blank expression. Marching on regardless, Lemar's now releasing a second single from his The Reason album.

Bearing all the hallmarks of his previous singles, 'Weight Of The World' sounds like it was written purely to be included on an upcoming R&B Love Songs album. It's as inoffensive as they come, with Lemar pulling on the heartstrings as he wails, "Have the angels turned their back on me?". Musically this is one of the more immediate tracks he's released in recent years, but it's looking increasingly likely that the celestial beings - or at least the record-buying public - have turned their back on him for good.
