DESCRIPTION
Will Martin
is yet another Kiwi in the classical crossover market. His baby face is misleading, as he boasts of a rich tenor voice (very similar to Aled Jones). So far, we have only heard one album from Martin (who was given a 5 album record deal). UCJ cannot be blamed for believing that he may have been the next Katherine Jenkins success story; he has the perfect image for the market, his voice is as soothing as the likes of Josh Groban, and his debut album was actually a good effort. The mind boggles as to why he didn't make much of an impact in the UK, but unfortunately, he has since parted ways from his label. Although his album is typical of any crossover album, it does hold some surprises and his covers of 'Into the West' from The Lord of the Rings and 'Going Home', the popular adaptation of The New World Symphony are really special.
