Sean Lennon Biography
Sean Lennon is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, film-maker and visual artist. He was born in 1975 in New York City, where, at an early age, he began to learn from and collaborate with influential artists, feeding a hunger to explore and contribute to many different genres of music and art. In 1995, Sean recorded with his mom, Yoko Ono, on her album Rising and began touring extensively around the world. The following year he joined Cibo Matto, as a bass player, and in 1998 he released his first solo record, 'Into the Sun'. Since then he has recorded on over 50 albums, in styles ranging from Pop to Hip Hop to Brazilian, as well as 5 film scores. He also uses his skills as a visual artist to design album covers for himself and other bands such as Os Mutantes, as well as making oil painting portraits of musicians for Rolling Stone magazine. In 2006, Sean’s passion for film lead to producing a cinematic counterpart to his second solo album, 'Friendly Fire'. His most recent projects are set to be released on his own label, Chimera Music, which recently saw the release of Yoko’s critically acclaimed album “Between My Head and the Sky,” which Sean also co-produced. In 2009, Chimera released his instrumental score to the film 'Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Undead'.

Nowadays, no one anywhere is expecting the Beatles progeny to produce material approaching the greatness of their pops. This means they can finally relax and just make some music, which would seem to suit the younger Lennon boy just fine. Fire is a piano- and guitar-driven collection of likeable, melancholic, Elliott Smith-y, Rufus Wainwright-ish pop music. The brief, sing-songy, Clapton-by-numbers guitar solos are a bit of a puzzler, but it's not like they're bad by any means. The guest appearances are a strange lot. His mother's here, longtime collaborator Yuka Honda as well, and Beastie Boy DJ Money Mark, too (which makes sense as Sean used to be on Grand Royal and the whole album has a mid '90s vibe to it). All these sleazy Hollywood types creep in here, too: Vincent Gallo, Lindsay Lohan, "superstar" DJ Steve Aoki. Thankfully, it sounds a lot better than any MisShapes party. Lennon sings "Let's hide the diamonds and cocaine for another day/But don't forget to pray," so maybe the dude isn't the best lyricist around. But Friendly Fire is really very good throughout. It's easily the finest music made by a Lennon since, well, you know. --Mike McGonigal
