trueAnthem's Sean Fournier does something "absolutely crazy": giving his music away for FREE!

Sean Fournier sings is his openings track:
"I'm in your vicinity but you do not consider me...
met you once or twice, but you probably don't remember me."

All we can say is...did this woman not hear Sean SING?

I mean, hello? I am already archiving him in my library of clever, sexy, talented singer-songwriter boys. On iTunes, of course...my black book is not *that* organized. ;)

Sean's bio read that he is a "lyrically-driven singer/songwriter." With this, we agree. He is most certainly a master of world play and surprisingly/equally crafty in comparison to his contemporaries (Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson, Michael Franti). We hear lots of good, juicy influences successfully realized here.

Sean's bio continues, he is apparently, on a "quest." We like this.
He has a "pocket full of songs." This, we might subtly correct...pocket full of MAGIC, seems more appropriate. ;)

Self-taught at guitar, piano, and ukelele. "Soft, yet edgy presence." Okay...can we just MARRY this boy? Or, at least, at the very least...take him home to meet our parents?

Thankfully, for ALL of us, Sean has decided to "do something absolutely crazy" and GIVE AWAY HIS LATEST RELEASE!

Did you hear that? He is GIVING his MUSIC AWAY! What a novel idea...I mean FOR REALS.

Even Radiohead had trouble with the free model. "Pay what you can," they suggested. About 70% of their greatest fans, apparently, couldn't afford to pay a darn thing. The rest paid 5 bucks.

Our response?

Let's go absolutely crazy! Sean Fournier, thank you for reminding us. Music is now FREE. And best given away.

Perhaps, the fall of the music industry as we once knew it (remember the days? dropping 60 bucks at Tower for 3 CDs, each with 1, maybe 2 songs that you actually liked and could listen to on them...)

BUT WE DIGRESS. After all, no artist or music lover likes to read the latest headlines about the industry.

What we DO like to see, however, is God, himself, in action.

Yes, artists like Sean Fournier remind us that perhaps the new price of music (free)...is how it was always meant to be.

After all, most great songwriters will tell you that they do not quite "write" their songs. The best writers channel their music. Receive it...let it fall off their sleeves" (Joni Mitchell once said).

Music, at its best, is a gift from the Gods...

So, perhaps it should be free?

If so, hey, booya. trueAnthem is on the right track!

Spreading our love, spreading the music, and making it Free.
Together we pray. God loves you. trueAnthem loves you.

And all these amazing trueAnthem artists will love you if you start sharing their god-given music.

Til next time,
trueAnthem TEAM
