Josa Barck returns with his new single ‘The Future’. It’s his first outing since last year’d single ‘Roccoco Riot’.

Written on the back of writer’s block, Back found that ‘The Future’ almost serendipitously wrote itself. Following the natural lead of where the track was taking him, this new outing wears its influences on its sleeve. With Talking Heads-inspired verses and vocals combined with playful Prince-esque guitar, it is a fresh ode to the undeniably fun pop of that time.

“It was quite clear for us, as soon as we started the recordings – there seemed to be just one direction to take this song, no matter what we threw after it, there was really just one way to go,” shares Barck of how the single came to life. “As soon as we gave up trying to force it somewhere else, things felt really quickly into place.

“We decided to just go along with it, and to go all-in – it’s the most clean cut track we made so far, and we are honestly having so much fun.”

‘The Future’ is available now.
