Review: John Mark McMillian - Economy

On Economy, John Mark McMillan continues to create vivid lyrical imagery and supports it with moving melodic and rhythmic arrangements. The writing here is once again beautiful and at times even disconcerting. John definitely has a knack for descriptive lyrics and spirit filled melodies.

His vocals can be delicate and light as in the song Chemicals where he softly sings …Well, everybody’s drilling for a fountain of youth, but sometimes in these fountains they drown, and at other moments he can deliver a strong and rough performance as in the chunky chorded Daylight with the chorus …We live on the edge of darkness.
