Will Young: 'Come On' - Single review

If there's one artist from Simon Cowell's back catalogue who has earned the right to release a cover song, it's Will Young. Why? Because not only has he managed ten successful years in the biz with a full four albums worth of original material, but time and again he's proven himself more than capable of turning out a hit without the need to rely on the work of others.

Therefore, it comes as little surprise that his latest chart botherer - a rendition of Kish Mauve's 2009 electro-rock hit 'Come On' - is far more than a note-for-note rehash. "Walk away, that's what you do," he bawls innocently over bobbing synths courtesy of Richard X, before defiantly calling "come on, come on" to his contrary lover. In fact, even after repeated listens, Young's lounge-pop reinvention still sounds like a different number altogether.
