Album Description
Since shooting to stardom on the second season of American Idol, Clay Aiken, the Raleigh, NC, native with the powerhouse voice has become a international pop phenomenon who has sold six million albums. In addition, Aiken has launched eight live tours, made the New York Times best-seller list, and won several American Music and Billboard Music Awards. In January 2008, Aiken made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning musical Monty Python's Spamalot. When Clay began the search for songs to record for Aiken's first album of original material since his 2003 chart-topping debut Measure of A Man, he fell in love with a song written by OneRepublic front man Ryan "Alias" Tedder called "On My Way Here." The message of the lyrics -- how the lessons we learn while growing up shape us into who we become as adults -- struck such a deep chord with Aiken that it wound up inspiring the theme (and title) of his new collection. To musically represent the album's lyrical theme, Aiken and Foster enlisted Grammy-Award winning British songwriter and producer Kipper, who has worked with Sting, Chris Botti, and Julia Fordham.

 New Clay Aiken CD November 21, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
This product came packaged like new and was in excellent shape. The album was a little disappointing, because there were a number of songs that I didn't really care for. However, since I am a big Clay Aiken fan, I did like most of the songs.
 Very pleasant surprise November 18, 2008

I loved Clay on Idol and eagerly bought his first CD, only to be disappointed by the plastic sameness of the tracks (a problem with many Idol CDs it seems). His Christmas CD was, however, excellent, so I again ran out to get his next CD hoping for more of the same. Alas, it was a bunch of tired and bland covers, though his voice actually sounded OK on it. So when he released his latest CD a few months ago I didn't bother getting it. My mistake. I was given an iTunes gift card for my birthday and there was nothing I really wanted so in the end I downloaded Clay's latest album. Wow! Finally, good songs, varied songs, and a return to the voice I remember from Idol (well, almost). Since downloading it a couple of weeks ago I have hardly stopped listening to it, and it hasn't gotten tired yet. From the funky "Everything I Don't Need" to the mournful "Sacrificial Love" and the upbeat "Ashes," there isn't a bad song on the CD. I'm just sorry it took me so long to buy it.

Review of "On My Way Here" October 13, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I feel this is a must have CD. Clay not only set the bar, but surpassed it as well in the making of this CD. It is made known by other reviews and interviews with Clay, the songs were hand-selected to represent Clay as well as provide a message not only to himself but others as well; a feat not easily accomplished, but nonetheless achieved. Clay delivers each song with much fervor and passion. This CD is one no music collection should be without. KUDOS TO CLAY, WELL DONE!!

If you are a Clay Aiken fan already from his American Idol days or just someone who appreciates a great signing voice, you need look no further than this new album, "On my Way Here". Say what you want about his personal life, the man has got a great set of pipes and shows on this new album the depth of his vocal ability. You won't be disappointed with Clay's new album. He is one of the best vocal artists around.
