Editorial Reviews

Through its emotional ups and downs, its sweeping, hooky and earnest piano-pop, Indiana finds the 24-year-old, Indiana based singer working through romantic tests, and even finds him candidly discussing the status of his young career. "There are songs about relationships, girls, faith, friends, family, and there are even some songs about the music industry," he says. "It's a debut album. Nobody knows how the album's gonna go, I don't know how my career is gonna go, so some songs are about that--me trying to venture out into the big world, and make it work." It's also an album about taking stock of all that's good and bad in your life. McLaughlin dubbed the album Indiana during a point when he was in California and away from his Midwestern hometown for the first time in his life for an extended period of time--at a time when he was better able to recognize what's beautiful and easily taken for granted in small town America. In the song's sly stanzas, the title track pays homage to his home state, via a string-laden piano ballad. But the songs on Indiana deal in emotions as prevalent in Timbuktu as they are in the heartland: "After all, we're only human," McLaughlin sings in the chorus of the ultra-catchy jewel "Human."

This disc is just amazing it is so good. (I happened upon it through Amazon's "other people who bought this also bought.." marketing. I watched the video, listened to the samples, and signed on. I'm really glad I did). If I were downloading it track by track from iTunes, there is not a track I would skip. There is so much good music here, but also so much heart, it is simply superb (and I don't say that often). In its honesty and musicality, though not in the actual sound, it reminds me of Matt Nathanson's "Beneath These Firworks," another wonderul disc by the way.

The title song is so lovely, and lovingly rendered, that for me it stands out and I find it really moving. The sound of the song Indiana, differs from most of the the rest of the tracks which are louder and more insistent in their beat. His voice is excellent, a delightfully husky tenor; he can really sing, and pretty clearly - you can actually understand most of the lyrics without reading along.

As you can tell, I love the disc and cannot recommend it highly enough. It's a definite buy. It's very special.

UPDATE (Nov., 07): I recently saw Jon live in SF. He is even better in person than on disc. He did some of the songs on the CD but with much more musical complexity and also longer. Ended with a superb Lennon medly. If you have the chance, take him in live. Simply great.

Jon Mclaughlin was someone I never got into until this year. I've heard of him before this I think, maybe on Last.fm but never took the plunge. I'm glad I have his music in my life now. Throughout the CD, Jon stays real with you the whole time. There are more mid-tempos and slow songs than there are upbeat tracks but all of the songs are at least a 4-star affair (out of 5).

My favorite songs in no order are INDUSTRY, FOR YOU FROM ME, ANTHEM FOR AMERICAN TEENAGERS, PEOPLE, AMELIA'S MISSING and PERFECT. I especially love the last 4 I listed.

I will MOST DEFINITELY be buying his next album when close to its release. Don't sleep on him, people! He's definitely not as popular as he should be. His sophomore effort,  OK Now  is almost as good as this too so check it out!

4.75 stars (or a 9.5/10)

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.

Jon McLaughlin is a refreshing newcomer to the contemporary rock/indie music scene. He may be from Indiana but he is far from a John Melankamp wannabe. Jon's sound is a mix of acoustical, classical and blues. He is someone both young and old can listen to, and find a favorite tune. Beautiful Disaster is wonderful song that speaks deeply of pressures women (young and old) face today. Jon has deep perceptive knack in understanding the pressures faced by young women and seems to be a champion and role model for young men through the song's verse. I have bought multiple CDs and have passed them out to friends and family. People need to support good,clean and innovative musicians like Jon. Good luck Jon as your star rises. Something tells me you will never wander far from your roots.

I listen to about twelve hours of music a day, need to buy (on average) a new cd every single day to keep my collection from growing stale. (Law school is a killer).

Anyway, I rarely take the time to write a review, but when I saw that this album had only _two_ reviews, I had to write another. This cd rocks! I mostly listen to alternative music, and don't love stuff that is too teenage-girl (i.e. pop). But this cd is just great. And the couple songs on the "bonus" disc are some of my favorites.

Check this album out. I think it's very good.

This man and his music are incredible. There is so much passion in this album. What an incredible way to introduce yourself to the world. Jon's melodies are truly inspired, and his lyrics are moving in a way that is purely his own style.

"Just Give It Time" has also always been a personal favorite of mine.

Each song has meaning, each song has something special. Amazing album.

Jon is an excellent artist and I would highly recommend his music. Jon's strengths are excellent vocals and great piano. He reminds me a lot of Ben Folds in that regard, but with a softer touch and more of a pop spin.

I first got into Jon's music when I heard "Beating My Heart" from his album OK Now. In contrast to that album however, this one feels like it is a lot more instrumental and less synthesized effects. I enjoy both regardless though.

I have loved Jon McLaughlin since I saw him in Enchanted and purchased the album after hearing most of the songs on the record.
His whole vibe is awesome and I love the messages that his songs carry. I am from the UK and find some American songs very kitsch and/or cliche but Jon's music is different and fresh. He cares and is a pretty good role model for people these days. His voice is original and he sings with great expression and diction. The icing on the cake? He's gorgeous!!!

Allein schon der Anfang dieser CD is phänomenal, nach nur 30 sek. ist klar, dass hier einiges stimmt !
Mit vollem, schnellen Piano und heftigem Schlagzeug gehts richtig zur Sache ...

Wie in vielen Tracks, ist der Einsatz der Instrumente sehr spielfreudig und sorgt für die passende Stimmung.
Der zweite Song ist ein eher typisches ruhiges Lied über das Thema, dem sich so ziemlich die ganze CD widmet ..
.. naja, zumindest hört man hier Wörter, wie 'she' bzw. 'her' ziemlich oft :)

Aber ich beurteile nicht den Inhalt, sondern die Musik - generell gehts mir aber ab-und-zu etwas sehr in die
schmalzige Richtung, was auf Dauer etwas nerven könnte.
Auch haben diese Titel es an sich, den Refrain oft nur paar Mal zu wiederholen und gut - nun ja, wers mag.

Wer, wie ich, auf das Musikalische Wert legt, hat hier dennoch sehr viel Spaß, denn die allermeisten Songs
sind mal richtig super gespielt, womit ich an erster Stelle das Schlagzeug von 'Matt Chamberlain' (bzw. bei
"People" ist es 'Greg Wells') meine und danach dann Bass und Piano, letzteres spielt der 'Jon McLaughlin' selber.
Singen kann er auch recht gut, aber man sollte nicht zu viel erwarten, sein Klavier ist, wie ich finde, besser.

Der dritte Titel "Just Give It Time" ist dann wieder etwas dynamischer mit guter Geschwindigkeit.
Manchmal kommt einem die Musik doch etwas zu brav und glatt vor, was schade ist, aber dennoch gehts mir z.B. bei
"For You From Me" trotz des hervorstechenden Basses so.

"Human" gehört dann wieder zu den Besseren, wobei mir generell auf der zweiten Hälfte der CD mehr gefällt, als auf der Ersten.
Mit dem coolen und ruhigen Rhythmus, den abgeklärten Drums und vor allem der Steigerung am Ende, fällt der Titel auf !

Zum Thema Auffallen kann man sich in Track 8 mal auf das Schlagzeug konzentrieren - es gehört zu dem Besten, was ich bisher
von MC gehört hab (und der kann das wirklich Live so - ich sag nur "Tori Amos" Konzert :))
Auch der Song ist natürlich weit weniger glatt, als alle vorher - hier wirds eher etwas rebellisch .. der härteste Titel der CD.
Diese Beiden, "Anthem For American Tennagers" und "People" gehören klar zu den Besten - sie sind von 'Greg Wells' produziert, der
auch in Beiden den Bass spielt.
Letzterer gefällt mir allerdings noch besser; hohes Tempo, super-scharfe Instrumente und mitreißende Dynamik - ein Highlight !!
Naja, von der Art her geht's dann so weiter, wie im ersten Teil des Albums, nur doch etwas stimmiger und aktionsreicher.

Absolut hervorzuheben ist natürlich "Perfect", der insgesamt beste Track, wie ich finde - da ist der Name auch Programm !
Das durch-und-durch saubere Klavier, zusammen mit wiedermal furios-kreativen Drums, eingängiger Melodie und stetig steigender
Geschwindigkeit ist er einer der besten Tracks, die ich in dem Genre kenne.
Da stimmen auch kleinste Feinheiten - der genaue Hörer wird belohnt.

Insgesamt sagt man bei einigen Songs nach 5 Mal hören vielleicht nur noch "ganz Nett", aber es gibt da einige, die man
nicht mehr vergisst und daran auch gar kein Interesse hat *g*

Durchaus ein sehr gelungenes Album, das nicht vollends überzeugt, aber fast ...
