Jordan Jones’ self-titled 2019 album<\/a> still is one of the finest power pop records of the past half-decade. If you loved that record as much as I did, I am curious what you think of his new LP And I, You,<\/em> which is out now through Lolipop Records. The record marks a significant transition and may invite a new fanbase while raise the eyebrows of\u00a0 some longtime supporters.<\/p>\n

What’s the deal with And I, You<\/em>? Well, for one it’s piano driven rather than powered by guitars; it’s more easy listening than rockin and head boppin.’ There is still a heavy ’70s influence, but it appears to draw from ELO, Hall & Oats, and Todd Rundgren instead of 20\/20, The Real Kids and The Plimsouls.<\/p>\n

But is it any good? Sure, even when you prefer his power pop side, you have to admire the talent and class of Jordan Jones. And I, You<\/em> is a highly ambitious record with orchestral arrangements, pretty harmonies and timeless classics in songs like Can I Stay<\/em> and Love Song of J, <\/em>and a heartbreaker of a closer in Love Or Lose.<\/em><\/p>\n
