Editor's note

Will Young, from Pop Idol winner to reflective songwriter

The 2002 Pop Idol champion who found his voice in quieter, more personal albums like 'Echoes'.

For a sense of where he landed after the early hype, try 'Crying On The Bathroom Floor' or 'Leave Right Now.' They're not the songs you'd expect from a TV talent show winner.

Young's career shows what happens after the reality TV spotlight fades. Songs like 'Crying On The Bathroom Floor' and 'Leave Right Now' carry a weight that goes beyond his pop beginnings. He's been honest about the pressure of fame and his own mental health, which gives his later work a different kind of resonance.

He won the first Pop Idol in 2002 and his debut 'From Now On' went straight to number one. After a break, he returned in 2006 with 'Echoes,' which felt more introspective. He's kept releasing albums since, including '85% Proof' and 'Lexicon,' while also doing some acting work.
