Jon Peter Lewis is primed for a big-time breakthrough courtesy of his new full-length album, Break The Silence.

The new album finds a more seasoned JPL balancing ’sitting in my bedroom all alone’ melancholia, with the inviting, offbeat wit that put him on the short list of Idol cult favorites. Silence was produced by Chris Garcia (Santana, Michelle Branch) and features the talents of drummer Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp, Indigo Girls) and guitarist Nick Lashley (Alanis Morissette, Natasha Bedingfield).

Emotionally charged and overflowing with brainy pop hooks, the debut single and title track, available now online, is an assured, infectious cut that recalls equal parts Ben Folds, Duncan Sheik and vintage Beatles.

Break The Silence will be in stores June 3rd.
