ItвЂ™s called Sob RockВ because itвЂ™s a shitpost.вЂќ I want someone to tell me this is shit.вЂ™В And I made a record that to me at the time, only in a way to coax something out of me that I wouldnвЂ™tВ have normally done: shitpost a record.

вЂњFor me, it was like,В вЂI want to get inВ trouble. And in fact, I can make a record thatвЂ™s in some way provocative, if not antagonizing.вЂ™В And then I did what IВ thought was going to be antagonizing, and this is the most important part of the conversation, I think, creatively,вЂќ Mayer told Lowe. вЂњI went,В вЂWell, I donвЂ™tВ have to do anything I donвЂ™t want to do.

Leon explained at the time: 'The concept for 'Inside Friend' came about from Mayer and I joking around in the studio about what an ideal date for an introvert or homebody like myself would be.

While he teamed up with Khalid on вЂOutta My HeadвЂ™ in 2019 and released 'Inside Friend' with Leon Bridges last year. Since his 2017 album, John has released the singles вЂNew LightвЂ™, 'I Guess I Just Feel LikeвЂ™ and вЂCarry Me AwayвЂ™. While he also teased: вЂњI think IвЂ™m gonna drop a clip of the single.'ДЇans are still waiting for the preview of the track to be shared. IвЂ™ve just been chilling and sharing it with friends for the past couple of months.вЂќ He captioned a clip on the video-sharing platform: 'My album is recorded, mixed and mastered.
