'Unfinished Business' - Nathan Sykes

EDITOR'S NOTE: This album's release date has been pushed back to November 11.

Nathan Sykes may be new to most. However if you were a big follower of the British pop scene, you'll know that he was 1/5 of The Wanted, which had their own claims to fame in the US and across the pond. But even though he was part of that group, it was pretty obvious early on that he'd be one of those pop singers who could make it on his own. And following The Wanted's hiatus announcement in 2014, here were are in 2016 with Nathan's debut solo effort, Unfinished Business.

The 12-track record is filled with songs that are will make you want to dance, fall in love and potentially tear up. With vocals that are layered with R&B influences, Nathan lets his pipes run wild on the doo-wop ballad "Famous" and wedding-friendly "Over and Over Again," which he did a duet version with ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande. They may no longer be together, but it's clear that they're vocally meant to be. He gets the party started with "Give It Up," his collab with G-Eazy that also samples Blackstreet's 1996 ballad, "Don't Leave Me Girl." What makes Unfinished Business a great debut effort though is the fact that Nathan opened himself to a variety of sonic styles like the horn-heavy "Freedom," the gospel-esque "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait" and flirty big band track, "Kiss Me Quick." Perfect for the teenyboppers looking for a new star to swoon over as well as those who can't help but love a nice feel good hook.
