Ari Hest – Twelve Mondays
By Brian Harris Hest’s songwriting talents are on full display on Twelve Mondays as each song has a very textured and rich sound and you wouldn’t think that every song on the album went through the entire songwriting process in less than a week. Hest’s sound is akin to people like John Mayer and Jason Mraz so his music is very viable commercially. There’s already proof of that as one of the songs on Twelve Mondays, Broken Voices was featured on the CW show One Tree Hill. Hopefully, this will lead to more people checking out Ari Hest as he is one of the better singer-songwriters out today and Twelve Mondays is a great showing of his work. **** Sports Podcast for 5/28/2009

Ari Hest is not your typical musician. Last year, he did something that he called the “52†project. Hest’s idea was to write, record, produce and release one new song per week for an entire year. The result of this endeavor is his self-released latest full-length album, Twelve Mondays, which contains the twelve best songs from the “52†project, as chosen by fans. It’s amazing what Hest can do in a week as he has put out a very good sounding album that should get him more noticed by the mainstream, more than he already is.
