Never Been Better (Deluxe)

Editors’ Notes British X Factor alumnus Olly Murs offers another neatly packed grab bag of brash, slickly produced anthems and moony-eyed balladry. Murs gamely bops and slides his way through a slew of radio-friendly contributions from veteran hitmakers like Claude Kelly and Ryan Tedder. The album's singles deliver in a big way—especially “Up,” a Mumford-like stomp buoyed by a spirited declaration from Demi Lovato on the chorus (“I won’t let this plane go down!”), and the agile disco-funk of “Wrapped Up.”
