NEW MUSIC: VANCE JOY | CLARITY

Vance Joy has released a spirited new single titled "Clarity," sharing it alongside the news of his third full-length effort, "In Our Own Sweet Time." The new track was produced and co-written over Zoom with Joel Little. The accompanying video follows Vance Joy through surreal, moving projections as he performs along to the tune. “It’s very upbeat and poppy,” Vance Joy explains of the track. “Dan Wilson says if there is a song you might be a bit shy about because it feels poppy or makes you feel uncomfortable because it’s saying something really directly, that’s probably the single. I got that feeling from ‘Clarity.’ When we finished the song Joel said he could imagine the feel of the production – when he sent it back to me with the full production, it just exploded. I didn’t see that coming. The original voice memo was me doing mouth trumpet. He even sampled my weak mouth trumpet in the original demo, then that got replaced with the real thing.” "In Our Own Sweet Time" marks the follow-up to Joy’s acclaimed 2018 album, "Nation Of Two." Though it comes over four years since that record was released, Joy has kept busy in the interim: in 2020, he shared two unique cover tracks, putting his distinctive twist on "The Pogues," "Fairytale of New York" and DJ Sammy’s "Heaven." That year also saw him drop a concert film recorded during his ‘Nation Of Two’ world tour. Recently, Joy was also nominated for three titles at this year’s APRA Music Awards: Most Performed Australian Work and Most Performed Alternative Work for "Missing Piece," and Most Performed Pop Work as a co-writer on "You."
