Jun 1, 2011The album is a good listen, but it isn't anything the world hasn't heard before.
-
May 20, 2011Looking to make a convincing splash across the pond, Tempah offers up a hearty sample of talent and charisma with the aptly-titled debut album Disc-Overy.
-
May 16, 2011Turn a deaf ear to the Cowell-connected producer Labrinth's uninspired Brit-hop beats and instead concentrate on the surely intentional comedy of Tinie's "I've got so many clothes I keep some of them in my aunt's house" and "I've been to Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe" (both from number-one single "Pass Out").
-
May 16, 2011It's a super-confident debut breadth-wise, but a misfire in terms of depth--it stretches too far and ends up light on substance and personality.
-
May 16, 2011All but a handful of the tracks on Disc-Overy are quite ruined by this appalling Black Eyed Peas gloss.
-
May 16, 2011The best tracks are the more thoughtful reflections on youthful memories, such as "Illusion" and "Snap"; the worst is the turgid pomp-rock-rap crossover "Written in the Stars", ominously scheduled as his next single.

May 16, 2011The consistent issue with Disc-Overy is the pairing of Tempah with people who fail to elevate him.
