Music Reviews Artist: Lonely, DearTitle: 'I am John'Label: Regal RecordsWebsite: http://www.lonelydear.com
  With the ability to conjure up truly moving tracks packed with emotion and lyrical content with meaning and on subject matter that is close to the hearts and minds of all of us, Lonely, Dear ( aka: Emil Svanangen ) knows when he truly on to a winner.
Taken from his fourth album that will be released in the near future, Lonely, Dear‘s, ‘I Am John’ bounds along like a steam train with an addictive, chugging, drumming hysteria. Multi Instrumentalist Emil Svanangen shows incredible talent in having developed an ability to mingle influences dear to his heart from ’The Beach Boys’ to ’The Bee Gees’.
Svanangen starts vocally from the beginning punctuating the air with his fine blend of smooth, straight forward sincerity and approbation. At a slow pace and accompanied by nothing more than the rhapsody of an acoustic guitar and the patter of a snare drum, angelic voices establish a setting. As Svanangen tells the story of his hazy days spent with John the pace builds and wave upon wave of xylophone and brass accompaniments assemble .
By the time the track has built up to the speed of a Japanese bullet train, Svanangen transcends into the spirit of the 4th Bee Gee and sings with perfect pitch and comfort matching the tracks now hypersonic, screaming pace.
‘I am John’ conjures up images of the kind of lazy, youthful summer days that you would spend with your friends. A time when you didn’t have a care in the world and could get away with doing anything and easily get carried away with the moment. Svanangen shares his main point of focus though in ‘I am John’ with the line which he frequently repeats: ‘ Never gonna let you down‘, conveying times spent with a friend and the importance of loyalty in friendship.
A truly well mastered track both instrumentally and lyrically, ‘I am John’ is a beacon of light in the fog and forms part of a glowing curriculum vitae for Emil Svanangen.
