Corey B. I wish this was what modern pop music sounded like. Favorite track: Escape.

©ough©ool New discovery for myself, I will have to look into Johnny's other work.
This is production with professionalism. Everything hits so well & the baroque female vox compliments fantastically. I am immediately enamored

Jacqueline Jones I never expected the 2nd desire album to be this dark and I’m loving it! Cannot wait for more from Megan & Johnny. Favorite track: The Young & The Restless.

Alasdair Duncan It sounds exactly like you think it will sound; that's either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how much of Johnny Jewel's output you've listened to over the last decade. Favorite track: Escape.

Wizard Loves Music Love this album, the price is a steal, Desire, Johnny Jewel and Italians do it Better are rocking it. Recommended.

about

Desire shares Escape, their new album written & recorded in Los Angeles & Palm Springs, California. Inspired by the ultra-vivid world of 1970's giallo films, they wrote the soundtrack of their dreams using their favorite musical instruments: Minikorg, Jupiter 8, 909, Mellotron, Simmons Rhythm Modules, String Machine, a D-50 & Fender Rhodes.

House music rhythms provide the canvas for girl group narratives & a children's choir to paint the picture. Throbbing synthwave & daytime drama soap operas all play into the color pallet of the album. The lyrics are sung in English, French, & Korean, adding even more drama to the mix. Through it all, there is the optimism of true love's compass navigating us through all the chaos life has to offer.
