JACOB MOON
The World I Left Behind (Moonbeam Music)

Reviewed by Holly Day



Urgh! Aargh! Blaugh! Adult contemporary elevator pop with deep, soulful singing, incredibly dull and predictable arrangements, vapid lyrics about love and suspicion and wonderin'. It's so sad, because someone in this outfit has money, because this is recorded very well, clean and crisp and professionally, but the songs themselves are so painfully flimsy and personally irritating that they make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. They're just so trite and stereotypical that I can tell exactly where each song's going to go and what's going to rhyme with what - there's no point in even listening to more than the first 2 seconds of any track.
