American heartland singer-songwriter and pianist Jon McLaughlin - whose show-stopping live performance of "So Close," the Oscar-nominated song from the Disney movie Enchanted, was seen world¬wide during the 80th annual Academy Awards ceremonies - has returned with OK NOW, his second album for Island Records, due October 7th. Fans are getting a sample with the release of a new single, "Beating My Heart," which impacted at the Hot AC radio format on June 9th.
"Beating My Heart" was written by Jon McLaughlin and produced by John Fields, known for his recent chart-topping work with the Jonas Brothers, Lifehouse, and Switchfoot. The new album is being mixed by Tom Lord-Alge and will feature the soon-to-be hit "Smack In To You," written and produced by the Grammy award-winning team of Tricky and The-Dream.
Jon's triumphant Oscar night performance ignited an astonishing 1,514% overnight sales increase at Amazon for Indiana, which neatly took over the #1 spot on the Movers & Shakers chart. "Musically, the big winner of the night was Jon McLaughlin," wrote FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman in his Oscars coverage. "He sang one of the Enchanted songs. Talk about a break-out moment! That's a phenomenal voice... McLaughlin could be the next big thing."
Indiana, Jon McLaughlin's first major label album, received maximum exposure on tours with Sara Bareilles last summer, Paolo Nutini in the fall, and then climaxing with Kelly Clarkson on her 24-city North American tour, October through December.
Named one of "The 10 Hot Guys of Summer" by US Weekly magazine last year, Jon was also seen performing on the CBS-TV daytime drama The Bold & The Beautiful, on NBC's The Today Show and on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Jon McLaughlin Photos

Summary: TERRIBLE ALBUM FROM A GOOD MUSICIAN
Comment: Jon is good...this album is not.
Go back to piano...go back to what you do best. This is simply an awful album compared to Indiana.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Amazing
Comment: I got Jon's CD the day it came out, I was so excited to hear his new songs and let me tell you I was not disappointed. For many reasons this is one of my favorite Cd's. His songs are very powerful and his voice is amazing. I got to meet him the day after his 2ND CD came out and he was so down to earth and nice. He sang at a Grey-whale near where I live. Afterwards he took time to say hello to everyone, take pictures and to sign Cd's, posters and t shirts. His voice is spectacular and he is an amazing person. Can't wait for number three.

Summary: OK Now
Comment: Jon McLaughlin's latest albumn is a hit. The melodies, the lyrics and the tunes are amazing. My favorite song is Beating My Heart, which has been on repeat in my car since the albumn hit stores. Dance Your Life away is another great track that shouldn't be missed. If you haven't checked out this albumn, what are you waiting for? It's absolutely a surefire hit.

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: I am totally obsessed with this new album! It reminds me a little bit of "indiana" but the lyrics are so easy to listen to and understand, and I love all the piano in his songs- it reminds me a lot of John Mayer with a fresh twist. This is something much needed in new music these days. My favorite song by far is "Beating My Heart" but the whole CD is fantastic
Customer Rating:
Summary: Definitely "OK Now"!
Comment: Liked "Indiana", but LOVE this album! For those who are unfamiliar, I'd say that Jon McLaughlin's style is a cross between those of John Mayer & David Gray...Feel-good, pick-me-up beats and lyrics appropriate for all! My favorite tracks are "Beating my Heart", "Four Years" (perfect for tweens and folks who may have done things differently;)), and "Dance Your Life Away". Hope everyone enjoys this album as much as I have...I'm looking forward to more Jon McLaughlin in the future!
