FIRST ARTIST REVIEW Chris St John SONG Fly Away BIO Chris St John has been on a roll these last two years, having written dozens of songs which have appeared on two separate albums. His first album, I'm Dreaming, which was released in 2021, gained critical acclaim and commercial success. The album had four chart-toppers on the World Indie Music Charts and the Official European Independent Music Chart, including “I Called You Rose,” which climbed all the way to No. 3. Recently, Chris was in Nashville, working with legendary producer Stephen Wrench, as well as some of the finest session musicians in Music City, to record his upcoming album Fly Away. During the production of the album, Chris released the song “Hey Siri,” which quickly hit No. 1 on the World Indie and Official European Independent Music charts and remained there for five weeks. “Hey Siri” has a playful, rolling African groove reminiscent of Paul Simon's Graceland. This clever, lively, and thought-provoking song focuses on the drawbacks of modern technology. Stylistically, it's an outlier of sorts, scratching only the surface of the deep and impactful artistry Chris showcases over the course of 13 tracks. The diversity of the songs makes it very hard to fit Chris' music into any one genre. His voice is velvety and clear on the album's ballads, and heartfelt and rocking on the up-tempo songs. His tenor voice has remarkable range and clarity, and his different vocal stylings on each track make it hard to believe it's the same singer throughout the album. Fly Away is set to soar. The title track is a soulful, poetic, and powerful song about the birth of his son, John, and the times Chris spent with him from childhood through his recent graduation from high school. He wrote the song as his son was preparing to head off to college. All parents whose children have left the nest can relate to Chris' heartfelt lyrics: “I just held you I cannot believe it/You're heading off to live on your own/A million hours, tears joy laughter/I treasured it all, the best years I've known…” The song is set for release on February 25, 2022, his son's birthday.

Jeff Lake's debut EP, “Field of Grass” was released in August of 2021 by WBA Records in Nashville and distributed worldwide by The Orchard/ Sony.

WATCH FIELD OF GRASS ON YOUTUBE The opening track, “Better Times Will Come” has led the way with 100k views on You Tube. The title track serves as a stark contrast to the bright, upbeat tempo of “Better Times…” revealing a darker and more poetic side of Lake's writing, as well as his high tenor vocal range. Lake sings “so are we men of the world, or is the world for man to use and throw away”. Lake's brand new 10 song album, “Seven Days” is due to hit CD & digital outlets worldwide later this year.
