Album Notes & Community Reviews

The teenage guitar prodigy was molded by producer Keith Forsey into a slick, MTV-ready heartthrob, merging his authentic blues-rock chops with polished, synthesizer-driven new wave textures. The debut successfully launched the hit single 'Beat's So Lonely', showcasing his gravelly vocals and highly commercial pop-rock sensibilities.
