I am EXCITED to announce that my sophomore album “Beauty in the Small Things” is released! This is a collection of songs that truly represents the essence of who Jon Chong is – soul tugging grooves and crafted lyrics that capture genuine emotions and experiences.
You will be able to get your hands on the album through the following ways:
1. From all Starbucks stores in Singapore from Monday, 14 Nov 2011
2. The Esplanade Shop, Singapore
3. From www.jonchong.com (directly from us, CDBaby or iTunes at a later date)
Catch teasers at the revamped website! Also, more details on gig dates will be available soon!
“Beauty in the Small Things” is about slowing down and taking time to appreciate the details that we so often miss or fail to remember when too caught up in our pursuit of the bigger seemingly more important things, and also to be able to see the positive amongst the cynicism and dullness. Since beginning the journey of writing and recording demos for this album about a year and a half ago, I have relived the experiences from where the songs drew inspiration – being separated from a loved one, being madly in love, putting myself in the shoes of the misunderstood, questioning the important things in life and what I want to do with mine. This had a profound effect on me and whether you are a musician or not, I hope that you will find something in this album that will touch your heart and inspire you in your life’s journey. Hours upon hours have been spent on each song over a period of close to 6 months and I went into this not wanting any song to be merely an album ‘filler’!
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your support and belief in my music; after all, it is all about reaching out to YOU the listener! If you share the same passion as I, do spread the word to as many as possible. This will go a long way in encouraging me to keep doing what I do!
Love you guys!
Jon
