Greyson Chance releases 'Hold on 'Til the Night' - what do you think?

Greyson Chance may only be 13 years old, but he sings like an old soul on his debut full-length album "Hold on 'Til the Night," which hits stores and iTunes on Tuesday (Aug. 2). The album includes the previously-released singles "Waiting Outside the Lines" as the first track and "Unfriend" you as the second, but our favorite songs are further down on the track list."Little London Girl" is a peppy, fun tune that we really enjoyed and "Summertrain" and "Slipping Away" also caught our eyes (ears?). The album as a whole is more dance music-y than we were expecting. We wish there was one of the songs that was just a stripped-down acoustic piano like Greyson's cover of "Paparazzi," but perhaps he'll release a remix or two and do that.
What's next for Greyson? Well, he turns 14 in two weeks, which still blows our minds a little bit. He went on tour earlier this and no further tour dates have been announced just yet. What do you think of the album? There is a version for sale on Greyson's official site where you also receive signed, hand-written lyrics.

Im really impressed with this album, this kids voice is amazing and i love all the songs. Congrats Greyson on a FANTASTIC album!!
What do I think of the album released by a 13-year-old boy whose material is written for him?
I think it sounds like a 13-year-old boy whose material was written for him. Who the hell other than other 13-year-old kids would want to listen to this?
I'll be so glad when Gen Y and the tweenies finally and completely move into their mid-20s and we stop getting these fabricated, tiny little "child stars."
This kid is awesome. He certainly doesn't sing and write like a 13-year-old. I'm definitely buying this album
@BBO: Greyson co-wrote several of the songs on the album, according to the digital booklet which came with the album I just bought. And I'm far from a 13-year-old (I'm easily old enough to be his mother), but frankly, I'm just impressed with his talent.
I'm happy to support a young artist if their music is something I can get behind. He's got the goods, and he truly seems to enjoy what he does. That's nice to see.
Could not be less impressed- I don't think he can sing well at all but he certainly does. Maybe it sounds better in a studio setting to filter out all the bad tones.
Omg I love it greyson you're an amazing writter.
BBO: I'm 21 year old and I was very impress with the album. sure, he is 13 (more of a 14 since his bd in 2 weeks) but this is what make him the talented kid he is. I certainty support him and I believe he will have a big future
I want to see his ID because I find it hard to believe he is 13 almost 14! He is more poised than most 16 yr old even 18 yr old. He is smart and never boring. He always has the right words to say. Wow! Great album too! :)
