Undiscovered (2007)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Mar 13, 2007; Lead Performance: James Morrison; Genre: Rock

James Morrison is a handsome U.K. troubadour who seems to have never met a girl he didn't want to write a love song about. As such, he is easily bracketed with James Blunt and can claim a Blunt-esque level of success in his homeland, where this debut has shifted more than a million copies. But Undiscovered reveals him to be much more soulful than his compatriot; he's a husky, impressive presence on such nicely funk-tinged tracks as ''You Give Me Something,'' ''The Letter,'' and the naggingly catchy, brass-assisted ''Wonderful World.''
