New Warner artist Jason Jones debuts with “Unlikely Angel,” a song about the redemptive power of a selfless and strong-loving woman. Jones’ voice is the highlight here, pristine and crisp and underscored by a subtle twang that quivers just slightly in all the right places. In presentation and character, Jones sounds like a somewhat more refined Gary LeVox, although when his tenor soars it reminds of Bryan White. That may not sound like a potent concoction, but it results in a surprisingly satisfying sound–one that sets Jones as a contrast to the format’s gluttony of soul-heavy, gravely voices. The song itself is concise, a heartfelt tribute from an “undeserving man.” But the lyric is so straightforward that it wears thin after the first listen, the ultimate payoff settling for nothing more than the description of the subject as defined by the title. And although it is indeed touching to identify a lover as an unlikely angel, the fact that this lacks both a unique observation on the given relationship and a memorable hook keeps us from coming back for more.
