About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Jason Robert Brown begins Wearing Someone Else's Clothes with ironic distance on the title cut. The song's narrator has turned his life upside down, thanks to a new love interest, and though he barely recognizes himself, he likes the change. "Wearing Someone Else's Clothes" is accompanied by a soulful, urban sound, highlighted by Brown's smooth vocals, keyboards, and lots of powerful background singing. The only real downside of the song is that -- at five minutes and 31 seconds -- it overstays its welcome by at least a minute and a half. Interestingly, Brown follows this ironic love confessional with an older song, "Long Long Road," about a lover packing her bags and leaving. Once again, Brown packages his song with a nice urban groove, but the song -- once again -- also sticks around way too long. One nice thing about the lyrics of these songs is that they reveal a knack for tackling a familiar subject from a different angle ("Wearing Someone Else's Clothes" and "Getting Out"). It would be a mistake, however, to see Brown as a singer/songwriter in the traditional sense. His approach to his self-penned songs reveals conviction, but the conviction is wrapped inside a theatrical flair. Wearing Someone Else's Clothes will appeal to theatergoers and anyone who appreciates a good song solidly delivered. Ronnie D. Lankford Jr., All Music Guide

March 23, 2006: I've been enjoying introducing this music to friends who aren't particularly musical theater fans, and watching their amazement. You don't have to have heard anything from, or know anything about Jason Robert Brown to flip over these songs and the arrangements. If you're already a fan or admirer, you'll drink this up in a big, greedy gulp and then go back again and again to savour more thoughtfully. Amazing talent, delivering great, heartfelt stuff that should stay fresh a good, long time. It doesn't surprise me that JRB is so fantastic performing his own songs, but what a treat to experience it! If you're a musical theater fan, check out the names of the other vocal personnel for "Music of Heaven" and "Coming Together"--a mini who's who of up-and-coming (some very much already up and here) musical theater stars. And they're not wasted. Also, don't miss the incredible, crazy piano solo and scatting on "I'm In Bizness" (as if you could). Buy this for your friends and enjoy spreading it around. Mr. Brown's earlier theater scores on cd include "Songs For a New World" "Parade" and "The Last Five Years"--each very different, unique and wonderful definitely check them out if you haven't yet. He has a new show in development, based on the movie "Thirteen," and I can't wait to hear it. Bet you'll feel the same after "Wearing Someone Else's Clothes."
