WHY WE NEED MORE PRO-AMERICA MOVIES AGAIN | YOUNG WASHINGTON

"It's like Mel Gibson's The Patriot, but less "Hollywood."" - Me I was listening to an Asmongold podcast a while back when he made a statement about George Washington being a "fucking badass who sailed across a river and murdered a bunch of British dudes in their sleep!" Paraphrasing.  My father and I went to see a movie called The Great Awakening about a man named George Whitfield who was a lesser-known figure that helped shape American history. As we left the theater, I told my father that it would be nice to see more movies about our founding fathers, like George Washington, citing Asmongold's "he was a fucking badass" statement.  You can imagine how delightfully surprised I was when we both went to see Disclosure Day a few months later, and in the hallway of the movie theater, I saw a poster for a movie called Young Washington . I pointed at the poster and told my dad, I was just talking about this! So we caught an early screen...

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"
