Will Jay – Gentleman:Β
Itβs all happened so fast that the music industry hasnβt really had a chance to weigh in yet. But the people have already spoken, and theyβve been unanimous about it: Will Jay is a star. Since his late 2014 departure from the pop group IM5 β the same outfit that gave the world American Idol finalist Dalton Rappatoni β the inexhaustible Will Jay has brought his music directly to his growing audience in every way he can. Heβs been a fixture on YouNow, where he broadcasts to thousands of passionate fans twice a week. His YouTube clips β including one where he condensed the entirety of Adeleβs 25 into a brilliant three-minute musical summary β have earned him attention for his cleverness as well as his formidable vocal skills. Last year, the handsome young Asian-American singer took his act across the Pacific to an enormous televised stage: The Voice Of China, where he tore through Bruno Marsβs βJust The Way You Are,β won an entirely new audience for his music and has amassed over half a BILLION video views and counting!
Given the widespread popularity heβs already attained, it was inevitable that Will Jay would make a first-rate, high-energy, irresistible music video that showcased his charm, his talent, and his strong pop songwriting too. Here it is: βGentleman,β an anthem for every nice guy who refuses to finish last. Like the other songs on his Gentleman EP, this is an immediate winner β an intelligent pop number with endearing lyrics, an instantly memorable chorus, and a vocal performance by Will Jay that recalls Mars, John Mayer, Adam Levine, and the β70s pop-soul singers he adores. To his credit, unlike other singers, he doesnβt try to be tougher than he is; heβs got class, and heβs not running from it. His come-ons are heartfelt, but theyβre gallant, too.
