In anticipation of the release of Nation of Two and to coincide with the tour announcement, Vance Joy has revealed a new track; the hauntingly beautiful album opener Call If You Need Me alongside a stunning clip. Call If You Need Me features Vance Joy’s trademark visual lyrics, painting pictures of fluorescent lights and conversations through foggy shower glass. The clip, which features Vance Joy in a beautiful, stripped-back setting, was shot by Mimi Cave who also shot the videos for Lay It On Me and We’re Going Home.
Vance Joy kicked off album release month by treating fans to another album preview on February 1, revealing the bright and uplifting Saturday Sun. Similar to We’re Going Home, Saturday Sun is accompanied by a visual lyric video penned by Vance Joy himself. The track is proving an instant fan favourite having been streamed 1 million times in its first 5 days! Call If You Need Me and Saturday Sun join Lay It On Me, Like Gold, and We’re Going Home as instant downloads on album pre-orders. All five tracks can be heard right now on streaming services.
Just over a month in and 2018 is establishing itself as a huge year for Vance Joy. We’re Going Home is sitting on over 5.5 million streams and was most added to radio during it’s week of release. Both We’re Going Home and Lay It On Me are sitting in the top 100 in the ARIA Singles Chart this week at #55 and #47 respectively. Lay It On Me is certified twice Platinum, has been streamed over 50 million times and came in at a very impressive #9 in the Triple J Hottest 100 on January 27. Three of the five tracks released so far also sit very nicely in the Top 100 on iTunes with We’re Going Home a very healthy #22. Vance Joy was also the cover star of Rolling Stone Australia for January – sadly it’s final cover!
Nation of Two, the follow up to his critically-acclaimed debut dream your life away, will be released via Liberation Records in Australia and New Zealand, and Atlantic Records throughout the rest of the world. Fans who pre-order Nation of Two will receive Lay It On Me, Like Gold, We’re Going Home, Saturday Sun and Call If You Need Me. https://lnk.to/NationOfTwo.
