Jack Johnson's new single "You and Your Heart" jangles with the typical Buffett-esque beach jam giddyup. It follows in the same vein of catchiness that most of his songs carry. The lyrical content favors the same trend of unrequited and misunderstood love as seen in "Upside Down," "Flake," and "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing."
I find it to be a great improvement upon his recent work. While many enjoyed Sleep Through The Static, I found it to seem unnatural. After 3 quite successful albums, it was quite apparent that Johnson wished to try something new with a slightly moodier undertone.
This single works quite well to reestablish Johnson and his niche: relaxing, angstless songs that everyone from frat boys to soccer moms can appreciate. I wouldn't be surprised to see this song be a mainstay on the Hot 100 long after its sales debut.
Rating: B+
