    For all its battalions of writers and producers, Right Place Right Time is a surprisingly coherent affair.

    This time around Murs delves into even more of a funk sound, and tracks like "Troublemaker" and "Hey You Beautiful" bring to mind the sound of such similarly inclined contemporaries as Maroon 5 and the Wanted.

    There's less of the pop-ska pabulum and more Will Young-style balladeering, mixed in with up-tempo, perky numbers.

    Too much of the album is drably formulaic, a series of gambits shuffled into passable shapes rather than memorable songs.

He actually sounds better on the quieter and slower tracks which I don't see too often.

It's his style, I get it, but as he does not challenge anything or attempt to bring a new flavour to British music, it will lack the substance that the audiences are striving for. And he wonders why he never wins anything...… Collapse
