New Jam from Will Johnson

I’m a little upset with our friend Tony for running a new Will Johnson track while I was out of town, but nonetheless, his music is too good to ignore, so here we are. Will’s latest ballad is set to a synthesized Casio beat, allowing his voice to cling tightly to its distinctive resonance. What a career musician like Johnson can do, however, is visible. in the song’s latter half, where it takes an instrumental jaunt, almost narrating an entirely different story before letting the track draw to a close; he’s capable of keeping you with the magic of his lyricism or the gifts of his musical crafts…and you’re forever rewarded. Diamond City is out on April 4th via Keeled Scales.

Will Johnson Announces Diamond City

You ever fall in love with a musical voice that just breaks you? Well, many years ago a friend handed me an old Centro-matic CD, and I’ve been hooked on Will Johnson ever since. Today, we’re stoked to bring you the great news that Will’s got a new record on the horizon, with a single that perfectly exemplifies my fascination. This song features sort of off-the-rhythm percussion and a twanging guitar, all of it creating this full-to-the-brim backdrop, yet somehow clinging to this starkness that allows Johnson’s voice to succeed. I love how he can move in-between throated warble and intimate whisper, letting the song open up with these soaring backing harmonies that provide an amazing accent to the track. Diamond City will be out on April 4th via Keeled Scales.
