October 30, 2008 Jon McLaughin’s – OK NOW

Jon McLaughin released his second studio album OK NOW on October 7th, 2008 from Island Records. When we last saw him, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter was giving a show-stopping performance of the Oscar nominated “So Close”, the song he sang in the hit Disney movie Enchanted, on the worldwide telecast of the 80th Annual Academy Awards ceremony. Flushed with that success, Jon entered an L.A. recording studio last year intent on undergoing both a musical and stylistic transformation. The heartland piano player expanded his palette by working with new producer John Fields (Rooney, Jonas Brothers, Lifehouse, Switchfoot). “Beating My Heart” the first single, is an introspective, existential tune about nothing less than the meaning of life, with an elaborate pop-rock production that evokes Coldplay, thanks to the soaring synths and a crackling backbeat. Watch the video of his first single on YouTube.
