| Label Description: |
| Platinum-selling artist Secondhand Serenade returns with his highly anticipated third album Hear Me Now. With the heat of summer in full swing, the next stage of Secondhand Serenade's saga is gearing up for release. Those familiar with the words of John Vesely, the man behind Secondhand Serenade, have lived through his picturesque stories of life's ups and downs - from the act's acoustic debut, Awake, to the fuller, and more emotionally complex sounds of 2008's sophomore A Twist In My Story. Fans have gravitated to John's heart-on-his sleeve approach. "Hear Me Now" is calling to be heard. |

Talking to Billboard Magazine in early 2010, John Vesely promised that Secondhand Serenade's third album would be "more upbeat" than those preceding it. Released several months later, Hear Me Now does include some sprightly tempos, with the energetic "So Long" taking the cake. The album balances its optimism with lyrics about heartbreak and defeatist attitudes, though, aligning Secondhand Serenade with other broken-heart-on-sleeve acts like Dashboard Confessional. ~ Andrew Leahey |
