Background[]
After finishing second in the fifth season of The X Factor Australia in 2013, Henderson signed a recording contract with Sony Music Australia.[1] It was announced on 8 November 2013 that Henderson would be releasing his self-titled debut album.[2] The album contains his debut single "Borrow My Heart" along with ten recorded versions of songs he performed on The X Factor.[2]
Critical reception[]
Ahead of the album's release, Renowned for Sound published a five-star review which praised Henderson's time on The X Factor Australia as being "the most versatile and well-rounded contestant on the show".[3] The article states about the album and Henderson's performance: "Taylor Henderson has a voice that you can’t help but want to listen to, no matter what he’s singing. Part of what makes him so exceptional is that his voice always has the right tone for the right song, and doesn’t make the mistake of over-singing like so many others".[3]
