During his time on The Voice, Johnny Manuel showed he could belt out a ballad with the best one. I fell in love with his voice but really hoped we’d see a little more diversity from him through the competition. Now that he’s paving his own way as a solo artist, he’s answering my prayers. His latest single “Lost in the Music” is a floor filler with a soulful groove and infectious hook. It’s a different sound from Johnny, but with those silky vocals front and centre I think the fans will dig this.
“’Lost In The Music’ is really about finding your way back to love and having fun while you do I,” he explained. “When we were creating this song, we started talking about how complicated relationships can become but if you learn to let go you find out that it can be simple.”
This track is the first of many Johnny plans to release this year. He’ll also strut his stuff with two gigs in June. Catch him at Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory on June 18 or Melbourne’s The Toff on June 25.
