Jason Castro Debuts his New Single

Check out Jason Castro’s new single, the lively “Let’s Just Fall In Love” at his official website, JasonCastroMusic.com, HERE.
Pre-order Jason’s upcoming album, HERE.
The track, co-written by Jason, captures his quirky charm, although I could have done without the whistling…
And, if you are in the Los Angeles area, head to the Grove later today, Jason will open for headliner Michelle Branch at a free concert. 8 PM.
After the jump, Jason sings another tune from his album “It Matters To Me”, nabbed from a webcast Jason had for fans yesterday.

… p.s. what EW article? I can’t find a link in this thread ‘ ¦”
Here’s a link to Michael Slezak’s interview at EW.com:

Wow, I loved that song on the first listen…wasn’t expecting too.
Very nice voice.
Catchy tune — very Beatle-y. This is something that would’ve made it to the top of the charts before Clear Channel controlled the song lists.

I just got back from The Grove show. Jason sounded great. The new single is terrific live…better than the studio version. After the show he signed autographs & took pictures with fans for an hour & a half. And, never stopped smiling. What a doll!

Here’re links to my videos from The Grove. I was only able to get his last two due to a completely full parking garage. And, also because of that I was far away, so the picture’s not that great. :annoyed_tb: The sound is pretty good, tho’.

Jason is looking and sounding good! I am happy for him. What a doll babe.
I wasn’t invested in anyone from Season 7, but I like Jason and was happy to hear he’d been signed, to a major no less.
I’m lukewarm about this single, though. His voice sounds nice and it’s a pretty little ditty but I just don’t think it has a strong enough hook to be a hit. I’ve listened to it several times in a row and usually a good hook will stick in my mind – and torment me! – within a couple of listens, but this leaves no trace.
And like a couple of other people have said, I don’t see where this fits on CHR unless things change mighty quickly. AC all the way for me, and that doesn’t shift units very freely.
Still, I wish him luck. He seems like a great kid and I’d like to see him do well.
‘Let’s Just Fall in Love Again’ The single doesn’t do anything for me. I hated the production, and it seems all wrong for this particular song, IMO.
Maybe it’s good not to have such a hook that stays in our mind and tortures us. Those kind of songs don’t have staying power, one gets sick of them pretty fast.

This is an old one. Not from concert night.
I’m Yours may be an exception. That happy little hippie song just made Billboard history for longest-charting single (70 consecutive weeks).

nvm
the song is now stuck in my head…found myself singing it in the shower this morning
some of the lyrics made me cringe a little. i’m not hoping for deep, abstract lines on the song (jason’s a simple guy, it’s part of his charm), but i hope the other songs have better lyrics on them.
that said, jason’s the only guy who can make slightly silly lyrics work and make the music come across as sweet and sincere.
listening to him always leaves a big, goofy grin on my face. ^_^
Hi, all. I just wanted to post this link to my video of “It Matters To Me” from Jason’s show at the Grove. I was right in front of the stage, and the video came out pretty good [if I do say so myself]. Enjoy!
