“LP” by Sufjan Stevens of Sufjan Sound

If you have been keeping up with the new rock songs on the radio, then you know that one of the hottest right now is “LP” by Sufjan Stevens of Sufjan Sound. This new rock song has just taken over the No.1 spot on the charts, beating out the already huge single from The Black Keys, “olla”. If you are unfamiliar with Sufjan Stevens, he is a young man from Michigan who has been playing his acoustic guitar for years and has released several acoustic guitar albums. Most people do not know him at all, but people who live in small towns around the country know him for his amazing voice and guitar work. There is some talent behind his voice, but what sets him apart is the way he blends that talent with great rock music.

This is a pretty good introduction to “LP”. Sufjan has gone from being a regular guy with a guitar in his living room to becoming a star with his first single in 2009. Sufjan has used this song as an intro for a few of his albums and it just grew in popularity until the last couple of weeks where it finally broke into the top 10. Sufjan’s voice comes through loud and clear, and I think people are really surprised at how well he sings because it is not typical for rock lyricists. Sufjan also uses keyboards and guitar in this song as well.

“LP” is definitely an up and coming new rock song. People love the piano and guitar work in this song, and Sufjan brings that together with his vocal and guitar work. Sufjan has used this song as an intro for several of his albums, and it always makes me wonder how old this song actually is, or where it came from. If you are going to a show and you are asked to play “LP”, you better know what you are doing because it is an awesome introduction to a very popular song.
