By JOHN DALY
He has created a song called “Howard Jones,” and it’s an appropriate name for the musician Kicklighter, who actually sounds a little like Jones.
The music off Kicklighter’s new album, Paper Planes Vol. 1 is that Howard Jones style: Upbeat, bouncy and full of life. There is a range of tracks and song styles, including favorites “Bittersweet,” “Do It Again” and “They Don’t Write That Kind of Song Anymore.”

Kicklighter’s Paper Planes Vol. 1 is the music is the style that could be appropriate while sitting in a restaurant eating dinner or listening to in the car on a ride through the mountains. It’s fun. But there’s a lot of thought that goes into these songs. That’s probably because Kicklighter has kicked around the world a few times and brings something most valuable to the music: Life experience.
