Soulful pop stunner Vincent John has released his second single of the year, Beverly Hills, available everywhere now. Quickly carving out a career in music while racking up songwriting credits with Lady Wray, Aaradhna, and Lee Fields & The Expressions, there is no questioning the capable chops of Vincent John. Able to channel his energy and talents into his own projects, Vincent John has a busy year planned, continuing with the announcement of Beverly Hills, a powerhouse collaboration with fellow prolific songwriter Ryan Spraker (Weezer, Eli ‘Paper Boy’ Reed.)
Following the 80s inspired synth-infused release of Shiny Car, the upcoming track continues on poetic themes of seeking fulfillment beyond the material world. A culture of instant gratification has left an emptiness in many, which Beverly Hills captures well. Bright synth arpeggios capture the happy exterior environment with vocal delivery and lyrical content that gently remind the listener of the looming internal hollowness, a summer anthem wrapped in melancholy. Having access our wildest whims has led to a lost sense of appreciation, with everything being easily replaceable, and any experience being instantly numbable.
Using his talents to assist many on a major level, Vincent John’s latest release shows the worldview of an accomplished artist who continuously strives for more, keeping himself approachable while always pushing for deeper meaning. Combining his soulful songwriting expertise with old-school analog synthesizers, a palette revived by pop culture phenomena Stranger Things and Twin Peaks, creates a new sound firmly rooted in retro tools and techniques. The result is a sound with multi-generational appeal.
