I, too, heard the new single by Julian Lennon and mistakenly
thought it was John singing. In fact, even though I have heard
two songs now by Julian and KNOW they are his songs, I still
keep thinking that it is John singing. I don't know if it's a
conscious effort to sound like John or not, but he definitely
does (phrasing, vocal quality--please, no flames about John Lennon
having had no vocal quality!!--,mood,etc.). So far I have liked both
songs and will probably buy his album to explore Julian's music even
further. The writing style reminds me of John's earlier work.
NOTE: I do not mean to imply that Julian is copying or riding the
coattails of his father. Give a listen, you might even like it!
