• Track Listing

Import edition of his 2004 album features a different running along with extra tracks! Headed by 'Breeze on By', Donny Osmond's first single for 15 years, & first appearance in the UK Top 10 for since 1973, 'What I Meant to Say' puts the former '70's superstar right back in the mainstream. Adding perfect pop Polish Gary Barlow collaborates with Donny on eight of the 13 tracks, including the sultry, summery 'Breeze on By', itself based on George Benson's guitar instrumental 'Breezin'. During his chart absence Donny's voice has matured perfectly, while the set includes a catchy version of George Michael's 'Faith' & a very laid back new take on the Bacharach/David hit 'This Guy's in Love with You'. Title tune 'What I Mean to Say' looks like a future favorite, summing up a platter which brings the Osmond formula up-to-date with immaculate production & highly melodic song writing. Most likely to put Donny right back on top, the only question is what took him so long? Universal.
