  Sean Lennon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Then there's Julian Lennon, Sean's older half-brother, whose rather cheap bid for pop stardom in the mid '80s (remember his eerily perfect impersonation of daddy titled "Too Late for Goodbyes"?) was as about as cloying and annoying as they come.
Of course, Sean paid a dear price for being born into celebrity: he was only five when he father was murdered and, as he's told several reporters, he grew up fearing that he and his mother were next.
Sean was subsequently reintroduced to the public on Ono's tour, on which his noise-rock trio IMA backed her.

 Sean Lennon - Music Downloads - Online
Bio: As the son of John Lennon, perhaps the most beloved Beatle, and avant-garde musician Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon was a celebrity before he had even begun his recording career.
During that time, Lennon met Cibo Matto, who were hired to remix a song on Ono and IMA's EP, and he became Cibo Matto's touring bassist, as well as the boyfriend of their keyboardist, Yuka Honda.
Journalists and observers were ready to spot musical similarities between Sean and his father, but perhaps the clearest shared trait was an ability to unwittingly stick his foot in his mouth just like his dad.

 Sean Lennon - Into the Sun (Album Review)
Lennon's voice is magical in the way that it dances and floats above each song or interacts with Miho Hatori's voice on the title track.
Throughout Into the Sun, Lennon moves from style to style, expertly exploring the unlikely combinations of psychedelic pop, country and western, bossa nova, and jazz.
For many, the result would be a scattered and uneven affair, but for the most part, Sean Lennon makes this diversity work to his advantage.

Sean is Absolutely 1/2 Yoko and and 1/2 John, which could be good or bad depending on how you look at it.
Sean's Yoko half dominates (much like Yoko seemed to dominate John) in that most people would consider much of this album to be a little extreme and uneven.
Sean uses some suprisingly organic synth parts (Mystery Juice, Queue), the panning (using of left and right stereo channels) is quite similar to a lot of Beatles stuff (check the placement of drums and guitar being extreme left and right respectively on Bathtub).

 Sean Lennon: Friendly Fire: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
But the other, equally plausible explanation is that Lennon isn't the sort of artist who needs or wants to be in your face all the time, and who feels an ongoing musical career shouldn't be guaranteed by birthright.
The pervasive soft-rock-seductive ambience serves to create a distance between singer and subject; on the opening invective "Dead Meat", Lennon sounds like he's pouring his spiteful thoughts ("you just messed with the wrong team," "you get what you deserve") into a carefully worded e-mail when he should be growling them in your face.
And if the closing track tells us something we already know-- that Lennon's "Falling Out of Love"-- its mounting orchestral pressure and laser-beam Moogs force Lennon and his band out of its usual languorous gait and establish a game-plan for the future: less friendly, more fire.
