Former "American Idol" contestant Jason Castro recently released "Starting Line," a five song EP, in anticipation of his second full length album, "Only A Mountain," early next year. The five selections focus on the themes of faith, love and relationships and possess a mostly positive vibe. The titular song speaks of taking a fresh look around at the people in your life because someone special may be waiting for you. The selection also talks about starting over and moving beyond the past. A troubled relationship is at the center of "If It's Love," as Castro relates that love is worth fighting for and should not be allowed to die because of pride or being stubborn. Sometimes both people need to compromise in order to work things out. The subject of love is, not surprisingly, also addressed on "Good Love," an upbeat, feel good song about a strong relationship.
Jason Castro's faith is exhibited on "Only A Mountain" and "I Believe." The former speaks of remaining positive during tough times and moving past problems or potential obstacles with the help of faith and a higher power. The latter addresses a guiding force that helps you through the tough times, as long as you keep the faith. Of the five songs featured here, "If It's Love" is the best selection, both musically and lyrically. Overall, Castro's enthusiasm convinced me that he believes in the subjects that he is singing about, which made listening to the five tracks even more enjoyable. On a personal note, I remember watching Jason Castro on "American Idol" and being impressed with his performances, especially his cover of Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah," which was original performed by Leonard Cohen.
"Starting Line" is now available at all online retailers.
