Giveaway: Jon McLaughlin OK Now CD

If you watched the Disney movie Enchanted, I’m sure you’ve heard of the Oscar-nominated song “So Close,” which was performed by singer/songwriter Jon McLaughlin at this past year’s Academy Awards ceremony.

According to his bio:

“A great deal has happened to Jon McLaughlin between the release of his debut Island Records album INDIANA last year, and his new, sophomore effort, OK NOW...The [Academy Award] appearance re-ignited INDIANA, spurring a 1,514% overnight sales increase at Amazon, sending it to the #1 spot on its Movers & Shakers chart, and creating solid momentum for his latest release. The single from INDIANA, “Beautiful Disaster” attracted over 420,000 digital fans when featured as Download of The Week.”

Jon’s newly released CD, OK NOW, features the hit single “Beating My Heart.”

I love this single. It’s the kind of song I can picture myself singing to while driving in my car. I really like his style—a bit of pop, a bit of rock, a bit of soul.
