Gavin DeGraw - Gavin DeGraw


"Gavin Degraw" is the second album by Gavin DeGraw. I had never heard of Gavin DeGraw but I heard his new single "In Love With A Girl" and then a few days later I saw his album in a store. I decided to take my chances and to buy it. I'm glad to say that I did!


1. "In Love With A Girl" - The first single from the album. A rocky type of song which is quite different but it's catchy and worth a listen!


2. "Next to Me (Wait a Minute Sister)" - My favourite track on the album. It is an up-tempo song about someone not getting 'next to him'. A wonderful track with creative lyrics. If you liked "In Love With A Girl" you will like this.


3. "Cheated on Me" - A lively, up-beat tune which is about him wondering if someone is cheating on him. Another track worth a listen following the styles of the previous ones.


4. "I Have You to Thank" - Another catchy track which is worth a listen. I think that he is thanking someone for making him stronger in relationships.


5. "Cop Stop" - This is catchy, fun tune with great vocals by Gavin. Another entertaining track!


6. "Young Love" - A mid-tempo track which is a chilled out track about young love. I like this track because it is easily listenable and it has a relaxed vibe to it.


7. "Medicate the Kids" - I don't really know what this song is about, but this is an up-beat track which is just as good as the rest with a catchy chorus.


8. "Relative" - A laid back song which I really like because it is different and it's catchy. This also shows off Gavin's vocals well!


9. "She Holds A Key" - A slow track which is an okay track. Gavin's vocals are, again shining in this song and it has really good lyrics too.


9. "Untamed" - An up-tempo track which is another track worth a listen.


10. "Let It Go" - Another slow track which again, shows off Gavin's vocals well. Not my type of songs but the lyrics and his vocals are really good so this makes up for it!


11. "We Belong Together" - A slow song which many people will like because of the brilliant vocals and lyrics but it isn't a favourite of mine.

Best track: "Next to Me (Wait a Minute Sister)"

Overall Rating:
10/10
"Gavin DeGraw" is a great album by Gavin. I am really glad that I gave this album a try because I can listen to the whole album without thinking of pressing the skip button. Gavin's vocals are also really good on this album and all of the songs have brilliant lyrics as well as beimg really catchy. If you like the first single give it a try!
