Single Review of Jann Klose: “When I’m With You”

Talented rock singer-songwriter Jann Klose is back with another pleasant, catchy single, “When I’m With You.”

I’ve reviewed Jann’s music several times at the blog. He has a smooth voice with a tone and delivery style that’s uniquely his own. In other words, although the sound is familiar and comfortable, you know quickly it’s a Jann Klose song you’re listening to. His songwriting and performance style are in the radio-friendly, mid-tempo rock category, so his songs can easily appeal to a broad range of listeners, as well as being well-suited for soundtrack placement. And I’ve seen him perform live several times, so I can confirm that his live performances are engaging and charismatic, though it’s a comfortable charisma, which comes through in his recordings, too.

Anyway, Jann’s newest single, “When I’m With You” is an energetic, playful, bright, sunshiny pop-rock song. Jann’s voice is light and bright, delivering phrases like “I can say what I need to say. I can do what I wanna do. I can be me when I’m with you.” That is indeed the song’s theme, and the lyrics weave intricately around the theme. A little into the back half of the song, the melody fades away, the music and vocals hush, bringing a well-timed bridge to change the pace. Lyrically, it brings along the slightest modicum of worry before resolving back into the cheerful beat and lyrics.

Simply put, this is another exceptionally-assembled, hit-caliber pop-rock number from the accomplished Jann Klose. It will be a favorite for existing fans of his music, who know that this serious examination of emotions isn’t Jann’s only specialty, as he tackles more weighty, serious topics, as well. Alternately, “When I’m With You” can easily serve as a gateway song for those who aren’t yet addicted to Jann’s seriously addictive music.
