A NEW RELIGION / Jon Prophet
Jon Prophet Music 2005
Jon Prophet is a rare find in the music industry today. He is a breath of fresh air compared to the other "artists" that rule the airwaves. 'A New Religion' is an excellent CD with songs that you can never get tired of. Even the subjects range, from light-hearted songs like "Like A Train" and "Lust and Pride" to songs like the groove laden mover, "Bellyache". Then you have the Pop/Punk flavored song “As Good As your Yesterday”, where he reminds us to "see the will of the god who has fallen now YOU believe in ME!". Jon Prophet is a talent that half the artists, even a third of the artists today, can not compare to. What's popular in today’s society is teeny-boppers like Ashley Simpson with voices who are enhanced for their CDs. But Jon Prophet dares to be himself, even if it doesn't jump him to super-stardom. And that's what makes him, and his music, so special. Jon Prophet, expresses himself really well and the words flow his heart and soul that connect so well with the listener. Trust me, I am not an easy one to win over, Jon Prophet is amazing and his song writing is incredibly insightful. 'A New Religion' comes highly recommended... and I can't wait for a sophomore album. - The Atomic Chaser

Jon Prophet is a true songwriter and musician... You simply cannot compare him to any other artist. His music is such a refreshing contrast to the mainstream corporate blah, blah, blah that is so prevalent in today’s music scene. Each track on the album has the ability of conjuring up different emotions, and by the end, the journey leaves you wanting more. His songs are truly artistic and expressive, showcasing the sometimes melancholic beauty of life.
A New Religion has been a very personal and insightful album for me... I'm genuinely moved by Jon’s music every time I listen to it.
