JOHNNYSWIM have unveiled their new track “Desmond’s Song” featuring acclaimed Houston-based artist Tobe Nwigwe. The new single arrives alongside a music video which can be seen now below.
The new track is the latest to be revealed from the band’s fourth full-length album, JOHNNYSWIM, set for release on April 8th, and follows previously released songs “Heaven Is Everywhere” and “Devastating”.
“We wrote ‘Desmond’s song’ 15 years ago about the television show ‘Lost’ but never found the right production or sound for it to live on one of our albums. Then this year while writing the album, we started messing with different sounds and beats, upright bass, and piano… Next thing you know, after 15 years in the making, it finally found a home,” recalls JOHNNYSWIM’s Abner Ramirez.
“We wanted Tobe on a song and sent him a bunch of music for him to pick from, giving him cart Blanche. As he sifted through the music he landed on ‘Desmond’s Song’ and said, ‘Desmond’s song might be the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard.’ Tobe brings an element to the song that had been missing all those years and can’t wait to share it with the world.”
