25歲的Jon McLaughlin是今年流行樂壇最令我驚喜、振奮的新人，
他來自印第安那州的小城Anderson，4歲便開始學習古典鋼琴，
18歲那一年Jon立志效法他的偶像Billy Joel，
將他自幼所學的古典鋼琴與流行音樂相結合，
進入Anderson大學音樂系後更加緊閉關研習詞曲創作，
同時磨練鋼琴彈奏和演唱技巧，朝三項全能的創作型歌手目標邁進。
大學畢業後他前往紐約的試音一如預期般地順利，
加盟Island唱片發行的首張專輯Indiana呈現新一代的piano-rock，
序曲Industry是讓樂迷認識他最好的起點，
不但展露了他精湛流暢的鋼琴演奏技巧，
歌詞中更是唱出對自己音樂事業的滿腔熱情與憧憬，
Beautiful Disaster訴說一位17歲女孩追尋自我定位的故事，
Jon的歌聲感染力高又具有敘述故事的能力，
加上與音樂實力相匹配的帥氣外型，
真心希望樂壇能多出幾個這樣才貌雙全，
又不一窩蜂跟著hip-hop隨波逐流的男歌手。



喵喵，原來歌壇也有這麼喵的男歌手！

My debut's coming soon
And you already know what I'm gonna do
You got my time on a dotted line
But you show up invited and before I sign it
Someone say I'm not making mistakes
But please don't be fake

My debut comes today
And my feelings have all run away
With the man that I am but understand
If I don't keep going it'll just go to show
That I've been beat by an industry I've never seen

This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all
Speak to my needs, my needs take it all, just take it all
This is me

So the crowd gets quiet and I start to play
And I think they're buying what I've got to say
But to my defiance the music fades
And we all sit silent and I crawl back inside
Because it wasn't supposed to go this bad

This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all
Speak to my needs, my needs take it all, just take it all
This is me

And when you grow silent I start to fall

This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all
Speak to my needs, my needs take it all, just take it all
This is me on my knees singing take it all from me, take it all
Speak to my needs, my needs take it all, yeah
