I received an excited call today from my friend Elizabeth about a record label courting her courter, Will Johnson aka Gordon Voidwell. Will and I met a few times out in NY, once he was dressed as Run from Run DMC, and once he was talking about our guidance counselor hitting on him at the gym. But what you really want to know is that he majored in Philosophy of music, and his tunes are a testament to the work he put in.

His songs are a mix of funk, synth, dance, Prince, Stevie Wonder and soul. I would write something more in depth but really you should just check him out yourself. myspace.com/gordonvoidwell. Tell your mother who loves the funk, tell your cousin that loves Brooklyn, and your best friend who needs better music taste.
