Ian Janco Shares New Single ‘Something New’
American multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and producer Ian Janco has just shared his brand new single Something New, a dreamy indie-folk song that finds the artist lamenting the past with bittersweet grace.
I am loving the tone of his vocals which are quite evocative and packed with raw emotion, beautifully connecting the listeners to his heartfelt storytelling. Something New is packed with hazy memories of a past relationship in contrast to the new reality post-break-up; emphasising all the complexity of emotion that’s wrapped up in this transition. This message is wrapped around open-hearted guitar riffs, delicate piano chords and longing violin strings that are paired with a layered, buoyant percussion and inescapably catchy melodies that create an overall warm and intimate atmosphere with touches of melancholic nostalgia and subtle hope. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Ian Janco said,
Something New was written shortly after a breakup in the first Lockdown. It captures the feeling of knowing that a relationship is coming to an end, but still having love for a person even though they’ve moved on. On one of the darker days of that time, it just poured out of me - an expression of sadness and longing but also a kind of optimism for what’s to come. I hope that some people resonate with it and helps them get through whatever they may be going through.
