Paul Young


"Reflections" is an album by the British artist Paul Young, released in 1994. It’s a departure from Young's pop rock sound from the 80s, and delves into an intimate collection of blue-eyed soul, pop covers, and some originals. The album illustrates Young's matured sound after his commercial success in the 1980s. This album covers several songs originally performed by well-known artists such as Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, and The Beatles. It's a testimony to Young's versatile vocal style and musical adaptability. Most of the tracks on Reflections have a soothing, almost introspective style that showcases Young's ability to infuse emotion into his songs. Notable tracks include "Oh Girl", "It Will Be You" and an acoustic version of his earlier hit "Everytime You Go Away". Despite this creative turn, "Reflections" isn’t among Young’s most commercially successful albums. Nevertheless, the album remains an important piece in Paul Young's discography and musical evolution. It gives listeners a different perspective on Young's talent, broadening his image beyond just a pop rock artist of the 80s.
