Johanna Samuels announces her new album, “Sorry, Kid“.
Gathering nearly two decades of songwriting into something lived-in, luminous, and fully realized, “Sorry, Kid” balances warm 70s tones, emotional precision, and the feeling of looking backward without losing forward motion.
Johanna shares “Circles” featuring Tyler Ballgame, a song that reframes repetition as evolution. What first feels like distance slowly reveals itself as movement, kindness, and return. Piano, mellotron, and sun-faded harmonies drift through a song that strolls in with summer ease while asking what it means to stay connected in a world grown disengaged and unkind.
When sincerity is lost, all we can do is wait for it to come around again. “Circles” gives hope that it will.
“Sorry, Kid” never feels brittle. There’s humour in its edges and steadiness in its performances. You can hear the tape hiss, the room, and the breaths between lines. The record trusts that imperfection can hold weight.
“Sorry, Kid” arrives August 14th
