Desire, the electro-pop duo comprising singer Megan Louise and former Chromatics/Glass Candy mastermind Johnny Jewel, first released their self-titled debut album in 2009. After a hiatus of 13 years, they made a triumphant return with their 2022 album, “Escape.” Now, fans of Desire won’t have to wait as long for new music, as the duo has announced plans to release a new full-length album titled “Games People Play” later this year. Alongside this announcement, they have also unveiled a new single, “Darkside.”
“Darkside” encapsulates Desire’s signature style, with its nocturnal, neon-noir glamor and mesmerizing production courtesy of Johnny Jewel. Megan Louise’s haunting vocals invite listeners on a journey into the hidden recesses of the psyche, exploring the dichotomy between outer reality and inner truth. The track delves into the concept of the “darkside,” symbolizing the concealed aspects of ourselves that rarely surface in the light of day. It’s a sonic exploration of the longing for genuine connection and the search for love amidst the shadows.
In their description of the song, Desire and Johnny Jewel delve into the theme of authenticity and the pursuit of deeper connections. “Darkside” serves as an invitation to confront the unmasked truths within ourselves and embrace vulnerability in the quest for genuine intimacy.
To coincide with the release of “Darkside,” Desire and Johnny Jewel have announced co-headlining tour dates for the spring, offering fans the opportunity to experience their mesmerizing soundscapes live.
