{"product_id":"jon-bellion-the-separation","title":"Jon Bellion - The Separation","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong before the radio hits, Jon Bellion was a Long Island songwriter piecing together The Separation, a 2013 mixtape that showed just how many ideas he could fit into one record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally shared free online, the project was Bellion's calling card, a blend of pop melody, hip-hop rhythm and soul-searching lyrics that blurred the line between singer and rapper. He wrote with a restless curiosity, jumping between big choruses, intimate confessionals and cinematic builds. It found a devoted following that would carry him toward his breakthrough a few years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Eyes To the Sky\" opens with sweeping ambition, and \"Jim Morrison\" shows off his gift for soaring, layered hooks. \"When the Lions Come\" brings in Logic, Castro and Blaque Keyz for a rousing collaborative moment, while \"Kingdom Come\" brings the record to a reflective close. Across the whole set, Bellion's knack for stacked vocals and genre-hopping arrangements is already fully formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHearing it on vinyl gives this once-free download a permanence it never had in its early life online, and the songs hold up remarkably well away from the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans who came in with The Human Condition, The Separation is the fascinating origin story, the sound of a young artist sketching the blueprint for everything that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57518435533105,"sku":"602557696936","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Jon_Bellion-The_Separation.jpg?v=1794677643","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/jon-bellion-the-separation","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
