Synopsis

Album Description
ANIMAL is the shocking debut pop/r&b album by new artist J. A story of obsession, lust, addiction, violence and murder, the music ranges from beat heavy r&b to elegant, classic soul ballads. J.'s style is original, soulful and melodic, displaying amazing harmonies and production. Here's the breakdown: Til Then - a beat heavy tale of a murderer, haunted by his victim. Fever - a slow jam about lust. So High - the first single, a funky call to dance. Everybody's Telling Me - hopeful, pure pop/soul. Choose - a groove ballad about a couple ripped apart by drugs. Without My One And Only - A strut tempo song about giving up addiction. Run Like Hell - A stomping account of a child's sexual abuse. It Won't Be The Same - a valentine to true love lost. Animal - a whirlwind of beats and vibes embrace lyrics about violence and uncontrolled rage. Over - a murderer's lullaby. Lately - a spare ballad about loss and depression. Til Then (Reprise)

THIS IS THE BEST!!!

"I've listened to J and followed him closely over the years as he has been working hard to make this album and I have to tell you, it is without a doubt so much more impressive than I ever thought it could be. His voice wails with such a huge range yet is soft, sad and has almost a whisper to it on the slower ballads. The story behind the music is very personal, very powerful and written with so much feeling throughout each song he performs. The fact that he wrote and performed every single song on here as well as the music and background vocals is AMAZING! One can't help but be impressed with this guys talent. He has touched my heart and my soul with this album and while listening to it, I'm able to release feelings that have been stored for years. I love this album to say the very least. Watch for J, he's got it all.....looks, sex appeal, the energy, the desire and most of all the very talent it takes to make it huge! Get this one...you will not be disappointed!"
Genius!

"This album is truley remarkable, J. has to be the best new talent I've heard in a long time. His voice is wonderful and his musicality is amazing. I've just recently received his CD and I think I've listened to his music at least a hundred times already! Every time I listen to it I'm amazed by the details and how many layers he has in every song. And what is even more amazing, is that he does it all himself. The singing, the writing, the instruments, all of it done by him! As I said before this guy's talent is truley remarklable. It's got sort of a primitive feel to it, but there is also a sophistication to it. It's complex, yet simple. I really love it. The other thing I really like about this album is all the songs are very danceable... The thing I like most about this album is that it isn't fake or pretentious. His music deals with some really heavy issues and I think J. did a great job of approching this stuff honestly. I think he's really connected with these songs and every time I listen to this CD I have no doubt that he's singing from a very personal place. Thank you J. for sharing your gift with us... It's got every thing in it... It's got a great story line, AND most importantly good music!!"

"J's Animal is a unique concept album, telling the story of lust, love, addiction, and murder. J's awesome vocal stylings are along the lines of Jon Secada and Chris Isaak. You will love his voice ... his vocal range is vast and impressive. My favorite tracks are "So High" ... an upbeat pop song that makes me want to get up and dance around, and two of the heartfelt ballads on the album "Choose" and "It Won't Be the Same". The whole album is one great song after another. Definitely keep your eye out for this up and comer. It is just a matter of time before he is all over the place... I can't wait to hear J. on the radio and hear and see what he has in store for his next project!"
