The pumping beat and splashes of synth pop on Page's debut album will make most anyone of drinking age gag and spew.

Teen heartthrob Page could give the New Kids a run around their own block – his dreamboat looks and cannily produced pop songs bring it all home here.

He works from a rather limited palette.

The kid is good. But not, like, excellent.

The results are predictably vapid and pedestrian.

These songs are rigidly structured, professionally produced and sung with equal doses of caution and sentimentality.

Spotlight 16

He has one of the absolute least distinctive voices ever recorded. It's on key, it's got plenty of power, but it has no character whatsoever.
