Atlanta, GA-born and New York-based indie soul/indie pop artist John Chandler much like a lot of pop artists grew up signing in church — and by the time he had turned 17 he had signed his first record deal; in fact, his first band 6Piece’s first single was released through a major national promotion through McDonald’s and as a result he and his band made appearances on MTV, BET and Nickelodeon, and he’s opened for or shared stages with the likes of NSYNC, Alicia Keys, Jagged Edge, Trisha Yearwood and others. As a solo artist, Chandler has developed a reputation for accompanying himself on piano; however, his latest single “Beat Of Our Love” off his forthcoming EP 24HRS is indebted to Prince and Bruno Mars as Chandler’s sensual vocals are paired with incredibly anthemic hooks and a slick electronic production consisting of a sinuous bass line, layers of stuttering and choppy synths and drum programming, brief bursts of strummed electric guitar in a song that possesses an urgent and visceral sense of desire while being a summertime club-friendly and radio-friendly banger that you want to hear while you’re with that special someone.
