Jont's new single, "Walk Right Through," takes listeners on a journey from a peaceful beach hut in Thailand to the serene forests of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. This song feels like a heartfelt postcard, capturing moments of calm and wonder. It has a captivating quality that draws you in, making you feel connected to something both near and distant.
This is a song by the British-born singer-songwriter, the result of months spent observing the world rather than just writing. Jont recalls starting with just two chords played over and over at his getaway in Thailand. For weeks, that single phrase lingered in the air as he waited for inspiration to unfold.
His time by the shore during the last winter was less about crafting the song and more about experiencing it. He approached the music with respect and certainty, feeling that everything he needed was already there, he just had to find a way to express it. A threshold is an essential image for this track, instead of just listening, you step into it.
The song's harmonies create a sense of lightness and depth, blending a peaceful vibe with sincere emotion. It feels both timeless and modern, almost like music you might hear at a temple or while relaxing with headphones at night. Jont's voice, now warmer and fuller, brings a familiar feeling that resonates deeply. Over the years, his albums have shifted from simple acoustic sounds to rich, orchestrated pieces. "Walk Right Through" strikes a balance between personal connection and spaciousness, simple yet infinitely beautiful.
