joan Share New Single ‘nervous’
joan, the critically acclaimed Arkansas duo consisting of Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford, have just shared their brand new single nervous, the latest single to be taken from their upcoming highly anticipated debut album superglue, out April 19th via Photo Finish Records.
nervous takes listeners back to their own memories on the school yard experiencing their first crush, brilliantly depicting the thrilling yet unsettling feeling of intoxication. This upbeat and nostalgic song is beautifully conveyed through honey-dipped vocals that glide effortlessly over a unique kaleidoscope of sounds including beatboxing, clapping and wistful acoustic guitars. This is one of those songs perfect for radios and to get you in a good mood in no time.
The accompanying video, directed by brandon waddell, joel nix and matt miller, showcases joan singing against radiant light-filled hues of neon pink, blue and green. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, joan said,
The band share,
we wrote this song with the lovely Emily Falvey of Nashville and Jonathan Capeci from Nightly, and the second we all walked into the room together there was immediate chemistry between us. We wanted to get as close to the emotion of a sort of school like love story, where you constantly want to be around them but you also literally feel like you’re going to throw up because you’re so... nervous (wink), and you don’t want to say the wrong thing around them. it’s such a cool and distinct feeling, we hope this song takes you back to that place.
