Free Music Notes for Indiana (with Bonus Disc) - Amazon.com Exclusive
Free Music Review: Let's see how he grows...
Hit: 4 Stars
Bought this on the strength of the video for "Beating My Heart"; took a chance thanks to the great Amazon price. Love his sound and his voice, though his songs can tend to "boy-band" cliches now and then.
Anxious to hear how he's matured when his new CD comes out this fall. Didn't know he was regarded as a "Christian" performer in some circles (until I read the sappy liner notes); hope he steers clear of that gobbledy-gook and focuses on becoming a mature and broad-based artist in the truest sense, eschewing simple-minded dogma for some deeper truths.
Not going to pre-order "OK Now" until I can sample what's on it, but I think Jon McL may be one to watch. Hoping for the best.
Free Music Review: Amazing Talent!!
Hit: 5 Stars
After hearing (and seeing) Jon McLaughlin in "Enchanted", I HAD to find anything that he had recorded. I was pleased to find "Indiana" and really found it to be an amazing testament to his talent. I highly recommend it!Free Music Review: Enjoyable CD
Hit: 5 Stars
I first discovered Jon McLaughlin's music thanks to the movie Enchanted. I finally got the nerve to buy the CD and have been very pleased with it. In fact I am listening to it right now on my computer! Free Music Review: Amazing!
Hit: 5 Stars
Jon McLaughlin is an amazing artist. I enjoyed every track on his album. How long has it been since you could say that about any artist?? You can hear influences of classical and jazz in the piano, but the production is strictly pop/rock. His lyrics actually have a message, and his melodies are exceptionally memorable. When you play this cd, the songs will keep on playing in your head long after the cd is over. I can't wait for his next release.Free Music Review: Small Town Boy No More!
Hit: 5 Stars
Jon McLaughlin may have spent the majority of his young existence in a small town in Indiana, but with his major label debut, McLaughlin solidifies the fact that he is well on his way to a much bigger and brighter backdrop. With "Indiana," McLaughlin melds together beautiful piano arrangements with silky smooth vocals while embracing both lyrical and melodic strengths at a time in music where songwriting has become far too formulaic. McLaughlin stands at the helm of what could be the future of the singer/songwriter flagship in today's ever changing musical frontier.
Standouts include the radio hit that is sure to get a lot of airplay this summer, "Beautiful Disaster," the beautifully piano driven piece "Industry," the rocking and extremely catchy "For You From Me," the uptempo hook-heavy "Praying to the Wrong God," and the self titled touching ballad "Indiana."
I'll end the review with some amazing lyrics from the song "Indiana"
"The trick of love is to never let it find you,
It's easy to get over missing out.
I know the hows and whens, but now and then,
She's all I think about."
If you're looking for some deep music with strong lyrics and extremely catchy hooks, look no further than Jon McLaughlin.
