(Radio.com) Tate Stevens will try to convince you that he's just an average guy from Middle America. But there's something special about this former road construction worker. Even Simon Cowell could see it.

With his booming voice and likable personality, Stevens not only won over the American public on last year's season of the X Factor, but the four very opinionated judges, which included Cowell, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato and his mentor on the show, record executive L.A. Reid. The Belton, Missouri, native knew from the moment he started recording that he wanted those two winning traits to show through on his self-titled debut, out now.

"As an artist your albums are part of you," Stevens told Radio.com. "To do an album that represents me as an artist and a person for the most part, that was what it was about."

He added, "I wanted people to see my personality. I love having fun and I like kicking back and�I tried to make sure that that came across."

For that reason, the album, which Stevens started recording in January, only two weeks after winning the show, features only two ballads: "Ordinary Angels" and "Power Of A Love Song," a song he knew he had to record the moment he heard it.

"Everyone loves love songs," Stevens explained. "They move you emotionally, good and bad. They can take you places." more.
