iTunes Review
Any danger of a sophomore slump for contemporary singer/songwriter Jon McLaughlin is killed by the contagiously catchy chorus of the opening electro-pop tinged "Beating My Heart." The huge and pristine production by John Fields (Jonas Brothers, Switchfoot, Lifehouse) lets the song set the stage for a filler-free affair overflowing with uplifting and emotional epics that are sure to show up on various movie soundtracks even years after the album's release. For instance, the airtight Electric Light Orchestra inspired harmonies and sugar coated hooks on "You Can Never Go Back" beg for a remake of Xanadu. And the guitar heavy "Dance Your Life Away" could have been written by Kenny Loggins in the 1980s to accompany lighthearted films that touch on golfing, naval aviation, and/or small Midwestern towns where teenage dancing is outlawed. The tune is a not so much a throwback as it is a deliberate guilty pleasure, but McLaughlin obviously knows this and camps it up for fun. Even slower jams like the doo-wop influenced "We All Need Saving" are infectious enough to make you wonder what he's going to do next.

wow
by jtnyc089it's so strong. come on people....yes it's less acoustic-y than the first one....GOOD.... it's delicious! Creative and cool and he sounds great! Songs are completely memorable and satisfying. His voice is of a higher quality than most of the young-dude solo albums...smooth and controlled...soulful without losing smooth...just good. I agree with another post--why isn't this guy bigger? There are a couple of desert-island songs on this album for me!
He should be in the spotlight
by rascalflatts1042He is so good. i don't get why he is not in the spotlight but people like miley or britney. LOVE HIM
A Great Effort, and a great evolution
by HachsterThere are some reviewers on here who seem to rip Jon for attempting to evolve his music style from Indiana, but yet we criticize artists if they just crank out the same old tunes. While I agree there is a song or two on here that might be a bit overdone, I love the uptempo beats of Beating My Heart, and I still think Jon is able to crank out the slow piano songs that we all love. I especially like Things That You Say, The Middle, You Are The One I Love, and Throw My Love Around. All of these songs mix in the piano with some fine additions such as more guitar and drums. I recommend this album.
