Jon McLaughlin Music Review
Jon McLaughlin, a talented pianist and signer has released a new single titled "Beating My Heart." This song has a pop feel but is nicely accompanied with drums, piano, and guitar.
Over the past few years, Jon McLaughlin has become an accomplished singer and song writer. He had an Oscar-nominated hit called "So Close" which he sang in the Disney Move, Enchanted. His debut album Indiana gained 420,000 fans when featured as the Download of the Week. Along with topping the charts, McLaughlin went on tour with artists such as Sara Bareilles, Paolo Nutini, Kelly Clarkson, and One Republic. He is now working on his sophomore album OK Now. He is exploring different sounds and comparing his sound to Coldplay and Billy Joel. Jon McLaughlin writes his songs based on things he went through such as his high school experience, or things that he sees going on like the relationship between singer Amy Winehouse and her husband Blake.
McLaughlin's new single shows that has great range vocally. It also demonstrates his skill as a pianist. His lyrics discuss how Jon is not sure about a lot going on in life, except his love for a woman. He may attract a female following due to his good looks. I would give McLaughlin an 8 out of 10. He demonstrates a great amount of talent and is sure to have a promising future.
