Jared Evan Readies Debut Album Fourth Chapter

Fourth Chapter is an amazingly organic mixture of styles, genres, tempos, and vibes. Nothing feels forced or out of place, each song a fitting piece to a larger whole. Part of that coherence stems from the production. While most albums today are an ill-fitting mishmash of myriad producers, Fourth Chapter is not. The bulk of the beats comes from Grammy-nominated boardsmith Ill Factor and also Evan’s supreme ally, Polow Da Don, who hosted Radio in My Head and who contributed scorching first single “In Love With You,” available for download on iTunes. “This reminds me of ‘Whole Lotta Love’ by Led Zeppelin,” harkens Jared, who sings/shrieks his way through the album’s opening salvo. “To me it carries an angry tone, like ‘I’m mad at you right now, but I still love you.’” The emotive song is brought to life in a video by Bernard Gourley.
