A passionate and timely musical vision...a powerhouse career statement.-
PHIL SWEETLAND, Music and Radio contributor - The New York Times

Odds are that you’ve heard J.J. Crowne’s music before, probably without knowing it was his. Now, with Another Day Of Love, radio programmers and music lovers all over the place will at long last be able to put a name and a face to J.J.’s passionate and timely musical and lyrical vision.
Pop stars from Barry Manilow to Chris Brown have written or sung classic advertising jingles, and Crowne has been proudly carrying on that tradition for years, composing spots for FOX-TV, PBS, Univision, and dozens of other clients both in his home base of South Florida and nationwide.
Last year, his debut album as a solo artist, Songs Of Innocence And Experience, quickly caught the attention of critics and fans, and was chosen from over 300 entries as Indie CD Of The Year by IndieMusicDigest.
Now, working with the ace production and mixing team of Stephen Wrench and Jeff Silverman for the first time, Crowne has crafted his strongest work yet, Another Day Of Love.
It’s been a long, up-and-down musical and life journey for the South Florida product who went out on his own from a difficult home environment at age 16, two years after his Dad passed away.
“I’ve always pulled for the underdog both in my songs and in my work, because I was the consummate underdog,” J.J. says in a late July phone conversation from South Florida.
“I was always by myself, with very little family and parental guidance,” he continues. Music was both an escape and a career for the young J.J. He was hooked early on by the music of The Beatles, who remain his strongest influence, and by the singer/songwriters of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
TV music also fascinated him. J.J. used a reel-to-reel tape deck to record the theme songs from his favorite television programs, musical snippets which he listened to over and over until he knew them by heart.
He taught himself piano, guitar, and bass starting at age 9, and eventually became so accomplished that he was accepted at Ohio’s prestigious Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where he dazzled the faculty and fellow students with the beginnings of an original rock opera but also quickly realized that his lack of formal musical training might hold him back.
“I was at Oberlin a couple of years. Then I dropped out to do jingles and radio stuff,” he says. “They liked me and I liked them. They had such great classical people who also loved pop music, and I was able to use the classical guys to play my arrangements.”
His passion for the Beatles, and particularly his awe for the incredible versatility of songs as divergent as the love ballad “Michelle” and the terrifying rocker “Helter Skelter,” gave J.J. an ideal background for writing the quick hooks needed for jingles and TV music.
“I became a huge technical Beatles freak,” he says, smiling. “I surgically dissected that stuff, such as how the guitar parts were working.”
J.J. soon became what he calls “a one-man jingle house in South Florida,” but even that wasn’t enough. So he changed directions and went to law school, and now he works days proudly representing the indigent.
This brave fight for causes which others consider lost is carried over artistically in Another Day Of Love, a compelling song that intersperses audio of epochal 1960s radio news headlines with J.J.’s guitar-based melodies and the story of a man who maintains hope, despite a cynical world that he feels in many ways has gone mad.
Like Todd Rundgren and Prince, J.J. plays all the instrument and sings all the vocal parts on the entire 5-song EP. Early on, however, Crowne’s own ambitious production overwhelmed his vocals.
“At first, I liked J.J.’s lyrics but didn’t like his production,” producer Stephen Wrench. “He was very agreeable to everything I said, and that’s just wonderful. Every song on this EP sounds different. Some sound a little like Jim Croce, others like the Byrds.”
Silverman, a longtime sideman with the Australian rock superstar Rick Springfield, mastered the EP in Nashville and added the ideal, radio-friendly touches to Crowne’s music.
The result is a powerhouse career statement for a guy whose remarkable career even included opening shows for Marilyn Manson in the early 1990s. New songs such as “Toy Soldiers” and “She And He” give listeners a glimpse into Crowne’s deeply personal and radio-friendly musical and lyrical vision.
“I’m very happy with the reaction to the new EP so far,” J.J. says. “A lot of Internet stations have been playing it. Now, we’re also going for broadcast Adult Contemporary and Hot AC play with songs like `Best Of Intentions’ and `Another Day Of Love.’ ”
For J.J. Crowne, a guy who has happily toiled in the background of the musical scene for a long time, Another Day Of Love finally enables him to step into the spotlight, and enables radio and listeners all over the world the chance to embrace him and - Phil Sweetland - New York Times Music Contributor

J.J. Crowne is the kind of artist I’d like to sit down with and get into the complexities of song-writing and composing. His combination of approach and experience (often VERY interesting experience – once opening for Marilyn Manson in the early 90’s) is difficult to find. The New York born and Miami-based singer-songwriter does it all, playing and arranging all of his instrumentation, as well as singing all vocal portions of his songs. - PensEyeView Magazine - PensEyeView.com

We reviewed JJ's album a few months ago and this puts how we feel about his music into proper perspective: There's an exciting new voice in adult contemporary popular music. J.J. Crowne's debut CD, Songs of Innocence and Experience, is full of nicely written and well performed music. In this case the well performed is a bit bigger deal than usual, since he plays every instrument and sings every vocal on the album. From drums to keyboard to guitar to vocals to, yes, even saxophone... it's all him-Donny Harvey (MuzikReviews.com).

It was not hard to select him as our featured artist! - MuzikReviews.com

"... an enjoyable listen all the way through because of its laid-back & relaxed demeanor. Very easy-going and well written/well-played songs that can relate to many people... I can’t say enough about Crowne’s musical approach and his heavy emphasis on the art of storytelling... pleasant melodies, excellent musicianship, well-thoughtout lyrics and much, much more... J.J. Crowne is a real-deal music man... I would highly recommend ‘Songs Of Innocence And Experience’ to ANYONE!"
