Jon Regen's long-awaited new album LET IT GO is availble online now.
Produced by BRAD ALBETTA (Martha Wainwright, Teddy Thompson, Sean Lennon), and Mixed by legendary producer JOHN PORTER, (Roxy Music, BB King, Ryan Adams), LET IT GO features appearances by some of today's most innovative artists, including guitarist Andy Summers, singers Martha Wainwright and Kami Thompson, drummer Matt Johnson, cellist Julia Kent, and guitarist Jimmy Vivino.
LET IT GO is available online now, and will be released on CD in the coming weeks.
REVIEW: Singer/songwriter/pianist Jon Regen returns with Let It Go, a collection of piano pop gems along the lines of his previous record Almost Home. Regen opens up his trio sound this time, adding guitarist Andy Summers to the excellent “Close to Me" and “Finding My Way Back to Me" and inviting singers Martha Wainwright and Kami Thompson and cellist Julia Kent to join him on a few tunes. But it's Regen's own writing and crooning that carry the day here: “Better Days," “Disappear" and the title tune make the most impact with no “name" assistance whatsoever. Regen's proven himself a master of jazz and pop on separate records; now it's time for him to rejoin the two sides of his personality and sew a truly distinctive place for himself in the music tapestry.
