Johnny Foreigner return with a song about summer. What else?
I wasn’t planning on writing about Johnny Foreigner today. I was going to write about Sky Larkin’s Canterbury gig on Friday night, but that’ll have to wait for another day. This is what happens when a new Johnny Foreigner track drops in front of me.
For those keeping up with the band, Feels Like Summer has already been streaming on Myspace for a few days now. The song is the lead single from the band’s upcoming album and sounds about what you’d probably expect really. The Johnny Foreigner playbook hasn’t changed between albums, which is no bad thing when you’ve sounded this fully formed right from the start. If anything, this is even more immediate than their previous work, it’s blistering pace resulting in the whole thing being over in under two minutes.
Feels Like Summer may not bring anything new, which I’d likely be complaining about with a lot of bands. With Johnny Foreigner though, I just want another album that’s even half as good as last year’s Waited Up Til It Was Light. This makes it sound like we’re on the right track.
Feels Like Summer, a new version of Camp Kelly Calm and a new track entitled Wow, Just Wow will be available as free downloads from the Johnny Foreigner website on June 22. Album two will presumably follow not all that long after.
