McLaughlin

This is a post that I have been very excited about writing, and should have been something I should have written a long time ago. It's long over due, but I think now is a great time to do it. Jon McLaughlin is no stranger to fame and having his music out there. He is probably one of the biggest stars I have talked about on here that is in America. And like always, I noticed him in a strange way, making him one of the best I have found.

"It's high time for singer/songwriter Jon McLaughlin to earn his due....a joyous uptempo romantic romp, featuring hook after hook, from tinkling piano to driving percussion and a start-and-stop bridge, alongside a joyous effortless vocal that soars with falsetto to the high heavens. The accompanying video is simple enough, but effectively illustrates McLaughlin's charms as a palatable sex symbol. "Heart" pumps with instantaneous hit potential, and proper promotion of it could propel the artist to superstar status." That is what Chuck Taylor had to say about his single "Beating My Heart" that came out three years ago.

That time was when I first noticed him. Wonder why? Because the lovely Delta Goodrem was touring with him across the nation. He instantly caught my attention, and I starting researching him. Turned out I had known him before with his song "Beautiful Disaster". So he then was instantly added to my "Now Playing List" and I started listening to more of his music. And to my suprise, he was the type of artist that I have been into for awhile. Thank Delta, because her music is what caused me to look for music such as Jon's.

I was so excited to hear that they were going to tour at Atlanta Georgia, only two hours away from me! My parents had planned to buy tickets, and make my dreams come true! Unfortunately, the date was cancelled, and Delta left the tour. Some something did come out of it, I became aware of Jon, and I haven't stopped listening to him since.

Most of you are probably aware of his two albums "Indiana" and "OK Now". Those are some great albums! And recently I bought his "Early Recordings" album. And that one is just as good. So I suggest you go out and buy them! Some of his top songs I think are "Beautiful Disaster" "Beating My Heart" "You Can Never Go Back" and "We All Need Saving". All are classics.

If you are a new fan or even an old one, I suggest you follow him on Twitter at @JonMcLaughlin. And hold up, if you want to see him sometime soon, then now is your chance. He is going on tour to a few places. So if you would like to see him, you can see the locations and dates here.

Jon, if you are reading this, I hope you enjoyed the post! I got your back, and I'm ready to blog about any new works of yours in the future! Best of luck!
