Johnny Flynn has shared new song ‘Through The Misty With You’.
The songwriter and actor is involved in new film The Score, a project that utilises both sides of his artistry. Taking a role in the film, he also works on the soundtrack, utilising old and new songs as appropriate.
Re-working some fan favourites, Johnny Flynn also adds some specially composed songs to The Score. “Making the music for ‘The Score’ has been a weird and wonderful journey,” he comments. “I was handed the script with the songs already in it by Ben Pullen (producer) and Malachi (Smyth, Director). It was a process of working with Ben and Malachi to see how the music would integrate in the film… My vision was to re-record the songs with a totally different feel and build them around the character’s emotional worlds.”
He adds: “It’s interesting to me to hear the songs in such a new context and feels fitting that the songs get to continue their journey – in some cases – 15 or more years since they were written. I always feel like they don’t really belong to me anyway, so I love seeing them serve this story”.
Freshly released song ‘Through The Misty With You’ is online now, and it represents something new from the English songwriter. A bluesy, husky number, its venomous swagger showcases another side to the folk-hewn artist’s work.
