Vance Joy Reveals New Single ‘Divine Feelings’ – Music Site
Vance Joy, the Australian singer-songwriter, is gearing up for the release of his newest single, “Divine Feelings,” which is part of a double A-side project set to be released in October. This will be his first solo release since 2022 and follows his collaborative singles in recent years. The track delves into the powerful emotions felt when encountering someone significant for the first time, capturing the essence of a deep and meaningful connection. This theme holds a special place for Joy, who met his now-wife in 2019 while exploring the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona. To realize this sentiment in musical form, Joy teamed up with his long-time collaborator, Dave Bassett, in Barcelona to create a song that exudes euphoria, grandeur, and emotion. The end result is a tribute to a modern-day Australian version of Bonnie and Clyde.
Accompanying the song is a visually striking music video directed by Bill ‘W.A.M’ Bleakley, featuring actors Erana James and Tom Wilson as a couple navigating the Australian outback while evading the police. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable as they embark on a thrilling adventure. The video was shot in Mount Isa and Cloncurry in Western Queensland, chosen for their desert landscape and consistent summery weather, providing the perfect backdrop for the storyline. Bleakley expressed gratitude for the local support and enthusiasm, which made the filming process smooth and enjoyable.
With the release of “Fascination in the Dark” scheduled for October as the second part of the double A-side, fans are eagerly anticipating new music from Vance Joy. His previous album, “In Our Own Sweet Time,” earned a spot on Rolling Stone AU/NZ’s list of the 100 Best Australian Albums of the 2020s. Currently, Joy is immersed in his North American tour, which will conclude in September before he returns to Australia to perform at Adelaide’s Harvest Rock festival on October 25th. Joy’s upcoming releases are bound to captivate audiences with his signature storytelling and melodic style, solidifying his position as one of Australia’s most beloved musicians.
