The Horizon Has Been Defeated

Jack Johnson

Universal

WE SAY

No soundclip today. Jack is part of the same authentic US male singer songwriter movement as John Mayer, Pete Yorn et al, but for us, he writes better pop melodies and so stands a better chance of breaking internationally. His album recently debuted at no. 3 in the US and this is the excellent current radio single over there.
