Your New Favorite Artist: Jamie Lawson

When Ed Sheeran starts a record label and signs his first artist, you take note.  That artist is Jamie Lawson and the label is Gingerbread Man Records.  Lawson is far from new to the music scene, as he has been making music for the past 15 years, but his major label, self-titled, debut went straight to number 1 on the UK charts and I would not be surprised if he hits number 1 here in the US soon.  His music is real. He tells amazing stories in his songs and makes you feel what he is conveying.  His first single Wasn't Expecting That is a fantastic story about love and death.  It truly captivates me.  The crazy part about all of this is, Google Play was offering his new album for FREE is you pre-ordered it a while back.  I had no clue who he was, but figured it was worth a shot for free.  I pre-ordered it and completely forgot about it.  Then I saw something online about him and recognized the name.  I went to my library, downloaded the album and became hooked.  I love singer/songwriters, so I figure this would be in my vein of music.  I was so right.  If you get a chance to listen to Jamie, I highly recommend it. Besides Google Play, you can also get the album from iTunes & Amazon. If you fall in love with him like I did, grab his Indie albums (he has 3) they are all awesome!
