Choked Not Broken [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
John Boy has been compared to Nine Inch Nails, Incubus, Creed, Evanescence, Crash Test Dummies, Adam Pascal, Robbie Williams, Lenny Kravitz, Marilyn Manson, and many more. His unique sexy voice blends perfectly with his dark pop/goth sound. A sound that is real, honest, fun, and inspiring. He has had the pleasure of playing such venues as: Limelight, Exit, Cheetah, Hush, Ohm. Performing at after-parties for Michael Jackson and Madonna (singing with Niki Harris and Donna DeLory-Madonna's long time back-up singers). His stage shows are as unique as his music. Using his award winning choreography and the best dancers in NYC, you don't want to miss him in concert. His stage shows have been compared to Madonna, Britney Spears, and Janet Jackson. John Boy is a unique individual that will inspire, shock, and best of all...make you think. The new voice of music is John Boy.

I may not be the best person to ask when it comes to edgy, poppy, dancey music, as I'm probably the biggest geek I know... I mean, if I saw John Boy on the street, I might be more than a little afraid of him... but that might be the best argument for me, because I can't get enough of this CD. The artist has culled the most rangey of influences to compile an album that is nothing short of stellar. His songwriting is intelligent but not self-important, fun but not juvenile and throughout the whole, the album does not take itself too seriously, yet still evokes elements of yearning, loneliness and ultimately redemption. The production value on each track is, in my uneducated opinion, really phenomenal, layering sound over silence over sound and his vocals are haunting. John Boy's low sitting baritones are sometimes reminiscent of Eddie Vedder but as part of the larger sonic palette, take the listener to a completely new place. These days it seems like anyone with a modicum of talent and a computer can re-create what we've all heard on the radio before into an album that appeals to the masses and turns a buck. But what John Boy has created goes a step beyond and redefines the pop/dance genre. This certainly isn't intended as a sonic comparison, but I haven't seen anyone attack the masses with this much precision and musical understanding since Prince- another guy who, if I saw him on the street, I might be a little afraid of...

This CD is a lot of fun-the lyrics are fresh and original and the songs are SO catchy! You'll find yourself constantly humming the tune to "Mistress Veronica", which by the way is about a dominatrix! "Missing" is my personal favorite-a beautiful song with chilling lyrics. John Boy has a very unique voice and talent. Highly reccommended!
