On
first listening to JD Greer I was very much reminded of All 4 One. They were
kind of an R&B boy band that I would have forgotten about if "I
Swear" hadn't been used for the end of Despicable Me 2.
Although
Greer is primarily a solo artist, he has sung in an a cappella group before, and
he seems to do a fair amount of collaboration in his songs, so that makes
sense.
I
was surprised at the mellowness of the sound, because from his Twitter account
he seemed a little more aggressive and maybe kind of redneck, but you don't
hear that in the music. Unfortunately, I don't hear much of anything else. It
struck me as very generic.
His
voice is good. He has sung the National Anthem for Raiders games, and that
seems like a good fit. It might also be possible that he good do well in
concert settings that focused more on Broadway or classical. However, he seems
to be doing fairly well in pop, so I guess that makes sense too.
