My OK Now!

Back in July, I got the chance to meet Jon McLaughlin after his show at the Bowery. Fast-forward to today when his sophomore disc, 'Ok Now!', finally drops. Although it is not as "independent" as his debut effort, there is a wide range of genres to showcase Jon's talents- especially his voice and his piano player skillz (yes, that was a Z). Notable tracks include the jazz inspired 'Why I'm Talking To You' and 'Four Years', a song after the nonsense of high school popularity that I relate even though it has been over eight years after the matter of fact.
