Album Review: Gary Barlow - Twelve Months, Eleven Days

"Twelve Months, Eleven Days" is the second solo studio album released by British singer-songwriter Gary Barlow. The album was released by BMG and RCA Records on 11 October 1999.

Following the success of Gary Barlow's debut album "Open Road", expectations were high for his second solo album. However, when the album's lead single, "Stronger", a dance-ballad, was released on 5 July 1999, many fans were unsure of Gary Barlow's change in direction, and the single only peaked at #16 on the U.K. Singles Chart. At the time, the British press had been ridiculing Gary Barlow for not providing the media the headlines that they craved about his private life, and that his ex-bandmate, Robbie Williams, had regularly been in the papers with his erratic behaviour and party lifestyle. In an attempt to create a hype for the album, Gary Barlow released "For All That You Want" as the album's second single, which entered and peaked at #24 on the U.K. Singles Chart.
