John Joseph Brill releases new single "I’m Not Alright"
Hey guys! John Joseph Brill is back! The incredibly talented singer/songwriter has released his brand new single ‘I’'m Not Alright’ through Kobalt. This tune, taken from the EP of the same title, which will be released in Spring 2017, is a progression in sound for Brill with its 80’s sensibilities, though his warm baritone timbre and the soul-bearing intimacy and sonic intensity of his previous work are still the mainstay. Check it out below!
Andrew Davie of Bear’s Den has both produced and performed on the EP, alongside his band mate's and John's usual collaborators. Speaking about working together on the EP Brill says
We’'re old friends and for a record this personal I wanted someone I trusted to take care of my songs. I’'m delighted with what we were able to create”.
Delving further into the inspiration behind the single, John Joseph Brill explains
At the time of writing the song I'd just been through a break-up and found myself broke and with nowhere to live. And while superficially that's what the song's about, it grew into something deeper for me. These are strange and uncertain times and I really believe that no matter what your story is, everyone should feel like if they need to, they can raise their hand and say "I'm Not Alright" and for that to be OK.
He'’ll play a headline London show at The Waiting Room on April 12th. Tickets on sale from 9am, Friday February 24th.
