Singer-songwriter John Lensing announces the release of his single “Talk To Me” on September 21, 2020. Hailed as "an artist to watch" by No Depression, Lensing is a burgeoning songwriter who pens lyrics of quiet confidence. With much of his music stemming from topics of mental health, Lensing allows listeners to experience an intimate and vulnerable confidence that allows room for being thoughtful. "Talk To Me" follows in that vein with a soundscape that walks the line between folk and acoustic pop. "This song is about communication. A lot of the choruses are reminders to myself.  The things you have to push through to keep trying," says Lensing. "Sometimes you just need to remind yourself that everything takes time. I think a lot of people struggle with that idea."

A lover of stories, John Lensing writes songs for the same reason he street performs: to make people care. About themselves, about others, and about things that sometimes hurt to care about. He has toured and street performed in six different countries around the world from North America to Europe, sharing his introspective music and connecting with people in a meaningful way. Lensing’s candid lyrics are set perfectly against a soundscape that blends alt-folk with bedroom pop and incorporates elements of hip-hop and traditional acoustic songwriting side by side. Finding his voice in the space between genres, Lensing blurs the line around what acoustic music is in similar styles as that of Noah Gunderson and Dermot Kennedy. “I want to create more beauty in the world and reduce the stigma around expressing the pain we feel,” says Lensing. “I can’t help thinking vulnerability is contagious."

“Talk To Me” will be available on all major platforms on September 21, 2020.
