DO WE NEED ANOTHER PSYCHO
This is a follow up to 2021's Lost Mighway. I personally believe this release, while having an awesome production value contains a bit more rawness, creating a great juxtaposition. Now available on most streaming services HERE.
COOL SINGLE COVER
WHEN I'M SIXTY FOUR
Well, Future One has done their first cover tune. Going big here. I hope you enjoy it. When I'm Sixty Four can be heard at Bandcamp.
PREVIOUS RELEASE
LOST MIGHWAY
Hey there. Paul JM here; founder of Future One. I am extremely proud of our first release, “Lost Mighway”. This recording is all about taking pop music to a different place; a bit left of center. I believe the term these days is “quirky”. This is partly do to the juxtaposition of the vocal melodies with lyrics that bend toward the abstract, but do have a journey in mind. I hope you enjoy it. Lost Mighway can be heard and purchased at Bandcamp.

REVIEWS / ACCOLADES
"A pleasure to work with Paul JM, a very talented musician that writes and plays every instrument; ranging from drums, guitar, bass, keys and lead vocals. His new release has an eclectic array of tunes ranging in styles from Elvis Costello to the Beatles. A real diamond in the rough.""
A must have.
- Michael Sciotto - Musician (Owner of Elliptical Sound)
"For me music is emotion set to colors, and Future One is definitely drawing from the big box of crayons! - Ray DeTone - Guitarist/Producer
"Good song, with a good guitar hook. Directors mix up the looks which is good for the pace. Solid edit, nice visuals. A lot to look at and listen too. - Transparent Film Festival 2024 - “Windows” Nominated for Best Music Video
"It’s a rare event to find an artist that can write, produce and play just about everything on his album and make it sound like a band that’s been playing together for decades. I was thrilled to be a part of this project – ultimately becoming the engineer, co-producer and, of course, a fan! It’s been a long time since I worked on an album that I enjoy listening to over and over again… great material!"
- Wayne Warnecke - Peaceful Waters Music
"This [Lost Mighway] is really good. It does so many things well - the great guitar figure, the surprising chord changes, the purposeful lyric - it’s quite an achievement. It’s also a nice reminder that the creative reinvention of the 3 minute pop song just never gets tired."
- Paul Tetta - Musician
"Unassuming, well crafted Pop that slowly reveal their complexities in the most beautiful way."
- Robert Mag - Musiciaan (Lostdog In Loveland / SHED)
"[Lost Mighway] has a very unique dimension within the bounds of traditional music, and the lyrics are very poignant."
- Roger Risko - Writer / Teacher / Entrepreneur
“Excellent, uplifting, beautifully crafted songs! Highly recommended!”
- Luke Skywalker James – Musician (Fashion, This Twisted Wreckage)
