Jason Okan – Pray (Review)

Jason Okan’s explores the importance of faith with the spiritual ode of “Pray”. Sung with the utmost of passion, the song radiates with a tremendous sense of determination. With a powerful, commanding voice, Jason Okan sings with a steely resolve. Lyrics focus upon the inner strength needed to resist evil and its temptations. By letting the track revolve around the trials and tribulations that all face, the song gains a universality of sorts. Nicely accompanying the soothing reassuring vocals is a careful arrangement, form the physicality of the beats to the glistening melodies that overlay everything. Stylistically Jason Okan draws from a traditional gospel sound with a futuristic update.

Elegant piano chords strike with a tremendous resonance. Quite masterfully the piece unfolds with a natural grace. Refusing to ever sit still, the rhythm has an infectious, deeply felt emotional core. Gradually Jason Okan lets the piece expand, soaring up into the heavens. Upon Jason Okan stating “We Must Pray” the song gains a communal aspect to the overall process. Such great strength flows through the entirety of the track while the multiple layers of sound expand. Elements of dance and pop flow through, adding to the heft of the message. Towards the latter half of the piece Jason Okan emphasizes the importance of community, of how religion brings people together.

With “Pray” Jason Okan goes for a timeless sort of sound which feels particularly urgent, one that implores the listener to embrace faith.
