Sean Lennon Artist Snapshot:

Generally content to play the wingman or backup guy for acts like Cibo Matto, Jurassic 5, Handsome Boy Modeling School, or Yoko Ono's band, Sean Ono Lennon is also a gifted songwriter and producer in his own right. His 1998 debut on Grand Royale and its follow-up, eight years later, show an ear for intriguing melodies and creative arrangements, as well as a supple singing voice that echoes not just his father's, but the typical Gen Y influences: Radiohead, Beck, and Kurt Cobain. Lennon also experiments in the visual medium, and shot videos corresponding to every song on his 2006 release, FRIENDLY FIRE.

Review

Rolling Stone (p.68) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "His viola-toned voice, with its patient, Brazilian-like delivery, is sweet and distinctive."
Rolling Stone (p.108) - Ranked #41 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums Of 2006" -- "Sean's boyish, nasally voice is a near-spittin' image of his dad's RUBBER SOUL-ballad croon."
Spin (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] nicely textured album of wistful waltzes, rainy-day ballads, and pinwheel pop tunes."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.104) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The album] comes on like a more lovelorn REVOLVER, its carefully crafted songs packing stately strings, Ringo-esque drum fills and a melodic potency and chordal know-how that requires little embellishment."

Title Note

Personnel: Sean Lennon (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards, bass guitar, drums); Josh Brion (guitar, organ, bass guitar, drums); Harper Simon (guitar); Yuka Honda (piano, keyboards, bass guitar); Greg Kirstin (organ); Sebastian Steinberg (bass guitar); Matt Chamberlin, Jim Keltner (drums); Athena LeGrand, Bijou Phillips (background vocals).

On his second album--released eight years after the well received INTO THE SUN--Sean Lennon displays a talent for memorable tunes and varied arrangements that create a surprising amount of momentum despite the overall mid-tempo mellowness. Moods shift gently from the unhurried, synth-driven "Parachute" (which echoes Radiohead) to the ragged folk-rock of "Headlights," with its killer off-kilter chord progression, to the haunting "Spectacle," which makes surprisingly subtle use of a string section and Hammond organ. In the eight years between albums, Lennon's voice matured into an expressive instrument capable of nuanced crooning as well as more straight-ahead piano-pop balladry. His songcraft also shows a leap in sophistication, as demonstrated on "Friendly Fire," whose compelling, ascendant melody gives way to a powerful full-band chorus. The second disc of the set contains videos for each song on the album, rendered with as much sensitivity and creativity as the music.
