IF YOU LIKE THE MUSIC OF ARTISTS LIKE TORI AMOS OR UTADA HIKARU, YOU WILL FOR SURE WE SWEPT AWAY WITH THE AS A TRUE REINCARNATION OF HIMSELF, SINGER AND SONGWRITER JET KANASHI RETURNS WITH A BRAND NEW ALBUM, FOR THE FIRST TIME UNDER HIS REAL NAME JOEL EVAN, ENTITLED EMBRACING THE LIGHT…AND THEN SOME.
If you like to music of artist like Tori Amos and Utada Hikaru, you will for sure be swept away by the latest musical venture of Joel Evan. Joel’s warm voice once again brings you to different places and sometimes even different times – for example with his A*Teens cover Closer To Perfection in Depeche Mode style – on his latest CD Embracing The Light…And Then Some. A collection of 16 poetic songs, that, with the exception of Moonlight Densetsu and the earlier mentioned Closer To Perfection, are all written by Joel himself, on music composed by Craig Lawrence.
Besides the inspiration from above mentioned artists, Embracing The Light finds influences in jpop and latin pop. About his newest album Joel says: "These songs tell stories, the stories of where I’ve been and where I want to go. I write the words down that come to mind and eventually with the help of a musician thee words become songs." Joel Evan is a man with hopes and desires and these feelings are reflected in the warm, sometimes melancholic, sound of his voice and inspiring choice of words. After his 2007 debut album Enjoy The Sadness, Embracing The Light… And Then Some is once again a musical jewel, on which Joel shares his most personal and intimate feelings and emotions.
Embracing The Light… And Then Some, including Joel hit single I’ll Keep Smiling, is now available on CDBaby.com and the Joel Evan website. –B-
JOEL EVAN | BEAUTIFUL
I haven't yet had the pleasure of listening to Joel's music, but if it is as beautiful as his male physique, it must be wonderful.

I am a huge fan of his music. Seeing him naked is a bonus. His music is on itunes and look for his music video on Logo and Youtube.
