Sean Lennon - “Into The Sun”
What exceeds the work of John and Yoko? That of Sean and Yuka. Displaying talents of his own and stepping off the coattails of his father, Sean is downplaying the fact that he’s John Lennon’s son and shows songwriting skills that are as impressive as those of the former Beatle. Critics may rush to compare father and son, but they’ll let Sean’s talent slip by as they occupy themselves with a search for comparisons. Though there are a few similarities, Sean tends to venture into a more experimental realm with horns and eerie electronics. The result is an album that floats in a mysterious spacey/oceanic mix of heartfelt love songs.
