Following the success of ‘The Goo’, S.F. Johnson continues to enchant with his latest single ‘Strangers’, delivering another captivating blend of New Wave, disco, and alt-rock. Johnson’s musical prowess shines through an array of electric guitars, glittery synths, grooving bass lines, and nostalgic drums. His ethereal vocals effortlessly guide listeners on an idyllic and spacey odyssey, evoking a sense of nostalgia and transporting them to a different state of mind.

Aside from the sonic elements, ‘Strangers’ delves into the theme of change and letting go of things that no longer bring happiness. The artist’s introspective songwriting reflects on the feeling of being a stranger in one’s own life, acknowledging the need to move forward and embrace growth. Despite the depth of its writing and arrangement, the track remains irresistibly catchy, leaving its melodies lingering in the mind long after the first listen.

What’s more is that ‘Strangers’ is a delightful teaser for what’s to come. S.F. Johnson’s upcoming Digital Utopia LP promises to be a nostalgic yet forward-looking project, brimming with introspection and honesty about the complexities of everyday life.

“Strangers is about shaking off the things that get you down, reflecting and acknowledging change. Sometimes the things that once brought happiness, no longer do. To be a stranger in your own game is a weird feeling. I think it’s important to acknowledge this and move on, rather than live in something that no longer allows you to grow.”
