Sean Lennon

Some folks might worry that waiting seven long years between albums would be a career kiss of death. Some folks don't have Sean Lennon's last name. The singer-songwriter bridges that long gap gracefully on Fire, with pretty, cinematic tunes that capture the intimate ethos of artists like Elliott Smith and, at times, even papa John himself, in his later solo period. Will it make Sean a superstar in his own right? Unlikely, but also, no doubt, unwished for.
