Jon Peter Lewis called for “a little less conversation, a little more action,” on his star-making 2004 American Idol turn, and today, he’s heeding that advice. JPL is primed for a major pop breakthrough courtesy of sophomore album Break the Silence, slated to drop in June. The first single set to release on March 18th, is the title track, an assured, infectious mid-tempo cut that recalls equal parts Ben Folds, Duncan Sheik and vintage Beatles.

Emotionally charged and overflowing with brainy pop hooks, Break The Silence finds JPL offering the offbeat wit and inviting persona that made him an Idol cult favorite. Produced by Chris Garcia (Santana, Michelle Branch) and featuring the talents of drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, Indigo Girls) and guitarist Nick Lashley (Alanis Morissette, Natasha Bedingfield), Break The Silence is the sound of a talented young artist on the rise.

After delivering a gold-selling debut and three consecutive top 5 singles to country radio, Josh Gracin will release his much anticipated sophomore album, We Weren’t Crazy, on April 1, 2008.

We Weren’t Crazy allows audiences to take a more personal look inside the life of the “American Idol” season 2 finalist and former Marine. “This album is more me,” says Josh. “I was able to focus on making the album I wanted to make. For the first album, I was still in the service, so I had to fly in and out of Nashville to record when I could. This time around it had my undivided attention.” Josh worked with producers Marty Williams and Brett James on the CD’s eleven tracks.

Josh is admittedly most excited about his newest single, the title track, “We Weren’t Crazy.” The autobiographical song was written by Josh, Tony Lopacinski, and Bobby Pinson about Josh’s personal journey from childhood to raising children and having a family of his own. “This time around I got to dig in and share my stories as a songwriter. I’m so proud of how this song turned out,” he said.

Josh Gracin’s debut album is certified gold by the RIAA and has sold over 695,000 copies. He’s one of only three new male country singers to be introduced in the last four years to earn a gold album. Josh is also the only male solo country artist in recent years to release a debut album with three consecutive Top 5 country hits, including his first #1, “Nothin’ To Lose.”

We had the chance to sit down with Josh last year to find out more about his post-Idol life. Watch the video now!
