Let It Go is the new album from songwriter/pianist Jon Regen.The album is a collection of mature, adult sounding tracks. Based around Regen's deft piano work, the songs have a soulful, jazzy nature to them. Regen's all star cast of guest musicians, which includes Martha Wainwright and The Police's Andy Summers, flesh out the sound around him.
Kicking off with Billy Joel-style piano rock title track, the album morphs as it progresses. Funky uptempo numbers ("Close To Me") give way to Elvis Costello-worthy ballads ("Better Days").
Over repeated listenings the album begins to yield more and more of its secrets to you. Strings here, guitar flair there originally go unnoticed. But it's these layers of sound that give the music a nocturnal appeal.
You can almost picture yourself sitting in a dark, smokey lounge sipping a martini as Regen plays off in the corner of the room. Let It Go makes a wonderful soundtrack for any romantic candlelight dinner.
