Since receiving the album over the weekend it has taken many spins in my player. With each listen I hear different nuances and grow more attached to each song. There may be no surprises or curve balls on Fight for Love, but what it does have is heartfelt, blues-tinged pop. Songs that not only appeal, but have staying power, at least on one of my iPod playlists.
For his many fans, this album will be like inviting an old friend in for a cozy chat by the fire. If you have not given his music a good listen and are into the soft, R&B tainted pop, then you will want to pick up Fight for Love. News and information can be found at his official website and his MySpace page. The artist also has his own Youtube page and you can follow him on twitter.
Maybe Elliott Yamin finished third during his season of American Idol but Fight For Love is certainly a blue-ribbon contender.

You describe this album perfectly when you say that it's like inviting an old friend in to chat by the fire. For me it's like an old friend with a great new style because he does that on Know Better and Be Apart with an excellent production and yet still unmistakably Elliott vocal sound.

Elliott's voice is simply amazing. There is nothing like it. I've been playing these tracks over and over again all day!

ItsMine: I couldn't agree with you more. The songs are innovative, yet there is no mistaking them for anything but an Elliott Yamin song.

Cathy: The songs certainly are infectious aren't they?

Catherine: I have a feeling you're right about just how far this album will go. Sometimes a sophomore release can be tricky business, but Yamin hit a home run with this one.
