Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy is back with a new single titled "Divine Feelings." This marks his first solo release in three years, following his 2022 album, "In Our Own Sweet Time." The song explores the excitement and emotion of meeting someone who truly changes your life.
"Divine Feelings" was recorded in the sunny streets of Barcelona and created in collaboration with his long-time partner, Dave Bassett, along with other co-writers John Riot and Poppower. The music offers a beautiful blend of Joy's soothing voice and bright, playful guitar melodies, creating an intimate yet expansive sound. The lyrics capture the sparks that fly during that unforgettable first encounter, showcasing Joy's talent for turning experiences of love and infatuation into a relatable, catchy story. "Divine Feelings" follows Joy's recent collaboration with the electronic duo Shouse on the track "Wherever You Are." However, this new song returns to his individual storytelling style, characterized by heartfelt acoustic sounds.
Accompanying the song is a music video directed by W.A.M. Bleakley. Shot in the rugged landscapes of Mount Isa and Cloncurry in Queensland, Australia, the video features actors Erana James and Tom Wilson, who portray a modern twist on the classic duo Bonnie and Clyde. The video complements the song perfectly, bringing its emotional journey to life through adventure and a sense of intimacy.
