"Say what you will about Olly Murs, but there&amp;#039;s little denying that he works his tight &amp;#039;n&amp;#039; teeny (we presume) little socks off. In exactly 12 months since his multi-platinum-selling debut, he&amp;#039;s toured non-stop, taken on the role of Xtra Factor co-host and somehow found time to work on a follow-up record.  What&amp;#039;s more, the findings on the resulting In Case You Didn&amp;#039;t Know suggest there&amp;#039;s still pur-lenty of energy left in him yet. Ska-flecked lead single &amp;#039;Heart Skips A Beat&amp;#039; was a natural but confident progression from his previous record - earning extra cool points for roping in newbies Rizzle Kicks for a skit - while follow-up &amp;#039;Dance With Me Tonight&amp;#039; is a fun, &amp;#039;50s horn-blaring romp.  For the most part, the remainder of the album deviates between the two; from the white-soul sounds heard in &amp;#039;Oh My Goodness&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m OK&amp;#039; to the reggae-light beats found on &amp;#039;Tell The World&amp;#039; and the immediate standout title track. While he might sound well and truly in his comfort zone, &amp;#039;This Song Is About You&amp;#039; is enough to ensure he&amp;#039;s putting his back into it - and that it&amp;#039;s one of the few ballads to be found here makes it all the more touching.  His formula starts to show signs of faltering towards the back-end - namely on the predictable &amp;#039;On My Cloud&amp;#039; and limp, inoffensive &amp;#039;Anywhere Else&amp;#039;; but for the most part, the production is slick and the lyrics cheekier than his winning smile. In case you didn&amp;#039;t know, Olly Murs is very good at making this pop business look like a leisurely stroll in a sunny park.
