Mandy Moore once explained the success of John Mayer’s “Your Body is a Wonderland” in an interview on the greatest love songs of the 21^st century. “Someone finally gets it!” is the phrase she used while smiling into the camera – at least one male finally understood the secret behind a women’s concept of romance. The public’s identification to the heartfelt lyrics of his songs is the secret behind John Mayer’s accomplishments in the music industry, coupled with his soothing acoustic guitar and husky vocals.

Daniel Powter is a second singer/songwriter who discovered this covert operation to a #1 hit when he released his single “Bad Day”. The appeal behind the track, which has led to it being used as a soundtrack for many reality shows, is the ability for people to relate to the lyrics. It is a contemporary “Manic Monday” without the cheesy 80s pop vocals. However, if we dissect both tracks we can note a common theme significant applicable to the majority of the population over the legal age – the need to find something to brighten our days, to find that passion in our lives, to be accepted, and often be noticed. This mostly takes the form of a significant other. S. Aaron Project has identified this need in individuals and believes it is time to tell the world, via the Internet, you are not alone in your search for happiness.

S. Aaron Project’s “I Never Find My Soulmate” is a contemporary track relevant to the modern individual, it even mentions Facebook. The track details the phenomena that is online dating, the possibilities and pitfalls, and how to keep the faith in the face of failure. There are few pianists who are able to engage their audiences and maintain their interest, however if this debut track is an indicator of further tracks S. Aaron Project deserves his comparison to the great Elton John. With his sincere lyrics, upbeat piano, and strong vocals S. Aaron Project may be described as a melodic John Mayer with a bass line.
