South London based singer-songwriter Louis Vann Johnson unveils unforgettable single ‘Backfired’

Knowing his way throughout the music industry, Louis Vann Johnson is an artist destined to leave you wanting more.

Having played for European artist Patrice Bart-Williams, being featured on BBC London with Robert Elms, performing at Glastonbury as well as writing and performing for various film soundtracks (notably The Hatton Garden Job, ‘Brotherhood’ and critically acclaimed ‘Obey’), Louis now takes centre stage in the new single.

Back with remarkable new single ‘Backfired‘, this reflective number blends layers of folk-pop, soul and R&B to create a sonic soundscape filled with self-discovery.

On the enchanting new single, Louis Vann Johnson explains, “Backfired is about finding a relationship in a state of chaos. It explores the journey of recognising, understanding and eventually accepting that there are fundamental incompatibilities/differences in that relationship that cannot be solved overnight. 

The song is the beginning of an inward journey where many people have found themselves. It also hints at possible compatibility but it is often hindered/restricted by deeper issues within each individual. Backfired is the first step on this inward journey on my E.P 34/7.”

A relatable number for couples across the globe during the pandemic, ‘Backfired’ feels like a guiding light within the darkness.

We think Louis Vann Johnson is bound to have his name in lights – what an incredible voice.
