3 days agoAlbum Review: A Q&A With Dean Johnson
Dean Johnson combines warm, laid-back vocals and sincere, witty songwriting on a sophomore album that balances sharp songs with genuine, humble presence.
Just this idea that, I think sometimes when you're involved in so many different things and your hands are in so many different parts of the process, you kind of can lose sight of the fact that recording is an art in itself. And I think also in the age of hype-nonchalance and also a lot of AutoTune and a lot of aesthetic-based music, you forget that at the end of the day, your job is to bring humanness to songs.
