“’Life as I know it,’ is about never given up no matter the fight, and understanding that life is a challenge for all of us. So when things get rough, don’t give up because we all only have one chance to live life. Its about being yourself, and putting yourself on the right path, too many of us end up on the wrong path, following the wrong crowd and direction in life. Just because someone says you can’t accomplish something, or amount to something, doesn’t mean you can’t accomplish it. For me this comes from a personal place having been homeless and turning to music, friends and positive influences to make my dreams come true.” Said artist Jonathan Burkett

Powerful release "Changes By Jonathan Burkett Feat. Elisa Polanco"

Powerful release "Changes By Jonathan Burkett Feat. Elisa Polanco" 

Everyone has experienced those times when it seems as if the world is upon their shoulders and everything is going wrong. The desire to give up can be overwhelming but, there are times when we are at our lowest points and the only thing that can lift us up out of our darkest hour is a song. One artist has heard the voices of those who face struggle and has decided to share his response of encouragement and enlightenment.

Songwriter and recording artist Jonathan Burkett AKA John Blake joined forces with Elisa Polanco to deliver another earth moving track called “Changes”, a song that is emotionally stirring and inspiring by all accounts. The latest from a series of singles dropped this year, John selflessly opens his heart to the world once again evoking power through music.

Elisa sings on the hook “Everything changes, let go and give it a try, don’t let your life pass you by”, a memorable and relevant statement especially in the face of the most difficult struggles faced by many on a daily basis. John Blake who is recognized for reaching out to his fans through his music in a very direct and personal manner demonstrates his ability to address the issues that affect humanity at its core.

The daunting reality is that mainstream recording artists often avoid engaging with weighty issues that affect society in their music thus leading to a lack of connectivity with those most in need of strong, positive influences. Outside the world of materialistic glorification, glitz and glamour exist regular people who face everyday challenges looking for artists that they can relate to. John Blake, who is embarking on his own road to fame through raw authenticity is the artist of our generation that will motivate, inspire, and address the good, the bad, and the ugly much like Tupac and Biggie did in their time.

“Changes” is a powerful song that is capable touching of a multitude of individuals from various walks of life. The song is an easy listen with a flavor reminiscent of the late 90s and early 2000s before commercial hip-hop ventured slightly away from socially conscious productions. Blake delivers flawless bars and pertinent lyrical content while Elisa Polanco connects the verses with a contemporary R&B hook. From a motivating stance, the song is possibly one of the most inspirational collaborations of the year. Although the song is moving, the production yields a formidable secular presentation thus enabling it to reach a broad spectrum of listeners.
 
It is evident that John Blake is on a mission and is making moves with his music which never fails to deliver. “Changes” is a sleek production with exceptional vocal and sound quality. Burkett’s songwriting is virtually unrivaled when considering the current plight of the independent artist and the lack of original content distributed to the masses. The intent and purpose behind Burkett’s music is not only placing him among the most sought after artists of today but it is changing lives one by one.

Jonathan Burkett Hits The Right Emotions With Your Light (Let it Shine)

Finding high quality uplifting music is tough to do, especially with so many artists getting more attention than others. Jonathan Burkett comes through with an incredible song that uplifts the soul, body and mind into a new arena. It’s positive in tune, and features lyrics that make you think twice about what’s going on in your life. I always am fascinated by artists that can put together good music and rhymes that are positive in nature. The positivity resounds so much greatness here, and the lyric video is a good one.
 
Jonathan's delivery is reminiscent of Tupac, but with a little bit less influx on the last syllables. If you close your eyes and just listen to this song, you will definitely feel good, as it is meant to point you towards something better than to wallow in your misery, sadness, or troubles. Finding a light, even if you’re not religious can be so grand, and here is a positivity that hip hop is sorely missing.

I love when artists can speak their mind without focusing on gangster themes, bravado, or trying too hard to focus on money, power and fame. Those things are played out and old, which is why this single hits so well. It’s different, it’s uplifting, and has some good lyrical content, which makes it stand out amidst a lot of rappers that are trying too hard to repeat the same old song over and over again. If you like hip hop, you’ll find this to be a good track.

Jonathan Burkett Life as I Know It - EP Review

Life as I know It – EP Review

            Life as I Know It is the newest EP by Jonathan Burkett. Consisting of four songs, the album as a whole is very reminiscent of Tupac’s early work. There’s a strong theme of positivity throughout each of the songs, with lyrics that are relatable and soulful. Each song flows into the next, without the disjointed feeling of some beginning artists’ works.

            The first song on Life as I Know It is “Two Steps” featuring Michael Pashalian. “Two Steps” is an anthem-like song that seems to have sampled “Where is the Love”, by Black Eyed Peas. The applicable lyrics, both by the singer and rapper, deliver a message of hope and positivity. While the production could have been better, it truly offers the sense that the artists have both struggled and come out on top.

            “Your Light (Let it Shine)” featuring Elisa Polanco is definitely where the similarities to Tupac begin to be noticed. It has the same soul that true RnB lovers yearn for, all carried by the steady vocals of Polanco. In “I Can Only be Me”, the beat is extremely catchy, offering a solid foundation for the message and inspiration Burkett, Kristin Nicole, and Kiarra Guerra support. While the rap seems a bit shout-y in this piece, it still brings across its point.

            The last song on Life as I Know It is “Changes”, featuring Elisa Polanco. This song, with its urban relevance, appeals to a very wide audience of music lovers. Following in the steps of the rest of the album, it uplifts and continuously points towards its positive message.

            All in all, Life as I Know It is a great start for budding artist Jonathan Burkett. Those interested in music with a message that goes back to the roots of RnB should definitely give this album a chance. It will be very interesting to see where Burkett ends up with a little more polishing and a better production staff.
