The Wanted – The Wanted (2010)
The Wanted is the debut studio album by The Wanted, released in October 2010 on Island Records. The group — Tom Parker, Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes — had been assembled by manager Jayne Collins and signed to Island following an extensive audition process. Their debut single All Time Low entered the UK chart at No. 1 in July 2010, making them one of the few acts to debut at the top of the singles chart, and the album followed to considerable commercial success. Produced by a team including Steve Mac and Wayne Hector, the album is a confident and polished debut that showcases the group's vocal blend and their ability to deliver both uptempo pop tracks and more restrained ballads with equal conviction. The album established The Wanted as a genuine commercial force in British pop and set the stage for a run of further hit singles and albums over the following years.
Highlights
- All Time Low — The debut single and a landmark moment; entering the UK chart at No. 1 on its first week of release, the song is a perfectly constructed pop track with an irresistible hook, a driving production and a vocal performance that immediately established the group's identity and commercial appeal.
- Heart Vacancy — The album's second single and a showcase for the group's ballad credentials; a warm, melodically generous pop song that demonstrates the vocal blend at its most appealing and gives the album one of its most emotionally direct and accessible moments.
- Lose My Mind — An uptempo pop-rock track that gives the album some of its most energetic moments; the production is punchy and confident and the group's delivery is assured, making it one of the debut's most immediately enjoyable tracks.
- Weakness — One of the album's more understated moments and one of its most rewarding; a mid-tempo ballad that strips back the production and allows the vocal blend to take centre stage, demonstrating a maturity and restraint that distinguishes it from the album's bigger pop moments.
- A Good Day for Love to Die — The album's closing track and a strong finish; a melodically rich ballad that brings the debut to a satisfying conclusion and leaves a strong impression of a group with genuine vocal ability and a clear sense of their own identity.
