5.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshing Change, February 12, 2000

By

This review is from: Into the Sun (Audio CD)

Sean Lennon's music is so misunderstood. Granted, he is the son of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. But does he cash in on their names? I think not. When Sean first got the idea to record an album he could have went to any major recording label and signed with them simply because of the Lennon name. He chose not to do this, instead signing with Grand Royal, a smaller recording label. Sean is not afraid to test out new waters. All of the songs on Into The Sun are unique and refreshing, unlike the sound-all-the-same songs put out by The Backstreet Boys, In-Sync and Britney Spears.Like his mother, Sean is ahead of his time, introducing songs that are not top 40-like but instead songs that have true meanings and heart within the songs. I have seen Sean twice in concert and he is one of the most polite people I have ever met. He interacts with his fans and you can tell he loves making music. If you are tired of listening to teeny bopper music, why not give Sean a chance? If you listen with an open mind to the music and the lyrics, you might find yourself plesantly suprised.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Debut Album, January 10, 2000

Overall, Sean Lennon has put together a good album. His singing is laid-back, a rather soft spoken approach, which captures his uniqueness. Although his voice is limited in some aspects it is backed with some great acoustic guitar playing, for Sean is also a wonderful musician. The album is held together mainly by three catchy tunes I'm sure anyone can enjoy: 'Mystery Juice', 'Home', and 'Spaceship'. These songs are the most up-beat out of the album, and hopefully portray what we will see in future albums. I'm disgusted with people that try to compare Sean's music with that of his father's. Just let him play what he wants so he can develop his own style. He has obviously had the influences of great music talent, and at such a young age, he definitely has plenty of time to fine tune his skills. I had the opportunity of meeting Sean after his concert, and found him to be a wonderful person with an amazing aura. His music also gives off this feeling, one which to those purchasing the album, 'Into The Sun', shall also find enlightening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Basking in Sean's "Sun", October 31, 1999

I think Sean Lennon's debut is very refreshing! It grew on me. I'd listen to it for days. The title track is second only to "Two Fine Lovers." The album is an honest composition of musings about life and love, embellished with a great musical variety. I'm a new fan of bossa nova (and then some). Open up your mind and ear for this one.
