Jonathan McReynolds/Life Music/Light Records
Jonathan McReynolds' debut "Life Music" is a wonderful album. "Life Music" nicely combines McReynolds' smooth vocals over 70s Motown sound, sometimes folksy guitar, rhythm & praise (as opposed to blues) fused with pop music. Reminds me of cafe music. Singing sounds like J. Moss for those familiar with gospel. Music style like India Arie, John Legend meets pop. Favorite Tracks 1, 2,4,12, are No FCC violations. Review by Christina Erwin (LJH)
1- Everything. "Life Music" intro followed by midtempo 70s Motown sound, guitar, trumpets, drums. (3:08)
2- I Love You. Starts slow transitions to pop. midtempo. (4:02)
3- No Gray. Acoustic guitar, drum, piano, violin, vocals. Slow. (4:10)
4- Lovin' Me. Slow ballad. Piano and strings come in as song builds. (4:40)
5- Comin' Out. Pop song sound. (4:33)
6- No Longer. Starts slow to neo-soul. mid-tempo. (3:28)
7- One Prayer Away. Acoustic guitar and vocals. Folksy/Neosoul style. Med slow. (3:57)
8- I Made It. Gospel/soul song. Organ. Med fast. (4:44)
9- Smile. Medium tempo pop style. Santoor plucking interwoven! (4:24)
10- Cannot Tell It All. Gospel/70s soul song. Organ, finger snap, horns, funky bass. Med slow. (5:49)
11- Glory Up. Electric guitar riff with soul style. Speeds up with louder riffs. Mid-tempo. (3:07)
12- Why. Two male vocals with piano, some organ, string/keyboard. Slow ballad. (4:00)
