Donny Osmond tends to take his time between solo records. It wasn't until 1989 that the former teen idol released his first album as an adult, DONNY OSMOND, narrowly missing a Number One hit with the dance-pop tune "Soldier of Love." After a lukewarm follow-up, Osmond focused on a successful Broadway career, which included a long run in the title role of JOSEPH & THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT.

It wasn't until 2005 that Osmond would release another album of his own material (in the meantime, he released two covers records--one featuring Broadway showtunes, one consisting of adult-contemporary pop songs). WHAT I MEANT TO SAY incorporates Osmond's stage training into a style that lies somewhere between Rod Stewart and N Sync. The focus here is on ballads, which proves to be fitting for Osmond's dulcet voice. "Breeze On By," a surprise UK hit, typifies the record with its lushly produced, soulful feel. One of two covers, his take on Burt Bacharach/Hal David's "This Guy's in Love With You, " with its serenely soft delivery, is a true highlight of this sweet, lighthearted album.
