WHY TODAY'S KIDS ARE COOKED | THEY CAN'T READ AND ITS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT, KAREN

I dated a woman who put her son in front of a tablet or Xbox while she ran out to the club all night. She couldn't even wait until it was their dad's weekend to have them. She would just straight up sit her son in front of a tablet, run off to the Los Angeles nightclubs until 4AM, and then consider herself a primary candidate for "Mother of the Year." Her son was in middle-school and still couldn't even fucking read. The poor kid was neglected.  Both of her children from her past relationship were in special needs classes because they were not stimulated or educated at home. What the fuck did you think was going to happen when you put a device aimed at adults (a computer) in front a child with unrestricted and unregulated access. You only have yourself to blame for your own piss-poor parenting skills, or lack-thereof. Child neglect. Google it. Meanwhile, I was reading Michael Crichton books when I was in jr high. My sister taught me how to read before I even start...

Review: "Welcome to my life, a place that I don't even like" sings Jason Furlong to open his 2021 EP titled simply The Debut. Themes of depression and angst fill the album's six tracks, nearly all of which are worthy of being released as their own single. MGK better take notice, because Jason Furlong is ready to give the rapper-turned-pop-punk some good company.

"Prisoner of Your Love" is a song that questions one's involvement in a toxic relationship while asking the age old question "is it me, or is it you?" As usual, the answer isn't about just one person. "All we want is to be free, but we're both scared to see the end of us."

"How can I love you if I don't love myself?" asks Jason on "Run Away." Despite the self-reflective emotion of the lyrics, the songs actually have an upbeat and optimistic quality and are relatable without coming across as whiny. "I'm not ready to settle down, I'm just trying to find myself right now." This isn't your Uncle's early 2000's era emo, this music is self-aware. "Maybe you'd be better off just saying farewell."

Jason Furlong is an artist who wears his heart on his sleeve and his music has incredible potential "bottled up inside" just waiting to break out. The beats are well produced, the melodies and rhymes are catchy. My only complaint is that his lyrics can be a bit too upfront at times and could benefit from the use of more metaphor.

In my humble opinion, Jason Furlong is already walking the right path to a notable music career. He's at the large wooden door with a ring full of a thousand keys in his hands. All he has to do is find one that takes his songwriting to another level. I think that he can do it.

Rating: 7.5 / 10 - Jason Furlong is a talented songwriter who is poised to make big noise in the scene.

"Prisoner of Your Love"
