Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
You might have heard Parachute if you've gotten a single of the week on iTunes recently, or you may have heard their underground hit "She Is Love." Parachute could be described as adult contemporary, but they also have some alternative rock elements to them, while still keeping some pop sensibilities. Make no mistake about it, they're not original by any means, nor do they try to be, but they do what they do pretty well.

Highlights Include:
The Mess I Made
She Is Love
Ghost
Blame It On me
The New Year

For the first three songs, I didn't like where the album was going. It was adult contemporary by the numbers, and it just felt forced. However, when they go into pop/rock mode for the rest of the album, the band is really enjoyable to listen to in their element. The music is accessible, but very well-done making for lots of potential radio hits.

Overall, as an adult contemporary band, they're not that great, but as the pop/rock band they really are, the band's talents really shine. It may not be original, but it's enjoyable for those light & airy summer days. I could see these songs on the radio, in the background of a teen-oriented show, or even in a romantic comedy. But just so you know, your plane doesn't have to be flames to grab a parachute. Sometimes you should just jump in, which is what you should do with this album.

Side Note: I love the photography on the album cover and the linear notes.

Real Score: 4.5

As the release date of their Mercury Records debut album LOSING SLEEP approaches on May 19th, Parachute moves into a final week of college dates and gear up for their spring tour with O.A.R. Parachute's tour schedule, kicked off the first at South By Southwest (SXSW) Music & Media Conference in Austin, Texas, where they were included in the IFC Channel's SXSW Behind the Badge half-hour special throughout April highlighting them as one of the best of 2009's showcases.

Parachute's first single is "She Is Love," bulleted at #28 on the Hot AC chart with 1.6 million audience. The track is now in its third month of digital release with sales nearing 40,000, and the video is confirmed for Screenvision's April reel.Also, Parachute was chosen "Adult Artist To Watch" at Clear Channel's New! site in March.Fans first heard "She Is Love" when Parachute kicked off the annual six-hour New Year's Eve celebration at Times Square in New York City with a live performance. On TV next month, their song "Back Again" has been confirmed for the May 19th episode of 90210's season finally on the CW, while "She Is Love" will be featured on One Tree Hill, May 4th.
