Track List
Johnny Sais Quoi releases his debut release on Music From Memory - a 7-track LP entitled ‘Love On Ice.’ Channelling the spirit of Italo-pop and New Wave, ‘Love On Ice’ was crafted in the whirlwind of spontaneity and energy that changing circumstances often bring. Born from transition and exploring themes of leaving, arriving, coming together, and breaking up, ‘Love On Ice’ serves as an outlet to process, escape, and celebrate the challenges of a new life.
Johnny crafts exquisite dancefloor-focused pop—familiar yet unique, imbued with his own touch, a distinctive sensibility, and a knack for infectious hooks. The opener, ‘No Guilty Pleasures,’ sets the tone immediately as Johnny works his magic with a palette of synths, drum machines, picked guitar, and processed vocals. The title track, ‘Love On Ice,’ delivers a classic Italo-infused dancefloor bomb, featuring a driving synth bass line overlaid by hypnotic arpeggios. There is much here for the dancer, but ‘Love On Ice’ also ventures beyond the dance floor; the closing tracks ‘Ref 23’ and ‘Let's Find A Home’ are prime examples, both showcasing Johnny’s depth and range with their melancholic, mellow atmosphere.

『ジョニーは洗練されたダンスフロア志向のポップを紡ぎ出す
——親しみやすくも独自性があり、彼自身のタッチ、独特の感性、そして中毒性のあるフックを生み出す才能が染み込んでいる。オープニング曲「No Guilty Pleasures」は、シンセ、ドラムマシン、ピッキングギター、加工されたボーカルを駆使したジョニーの魔法が即座にトーンを決定づける。タイトルトラック「Love On Ice」は、催眠的なアルペジオが重なる推進力あるシンセベースラインを特徴とする、イタロ・ディスコの影響を受けたクラシックなダンスフロア爆弾だ。ダンサー向けの楽曲が多い中、『Love On Ice』はダンスフロアの枠を超えた作品でもある。特に終盤の『Ref 23』と『Let's Find A Home』は、憂いを帯びた穏やかな雰囲気でジョニーの深みと幅広さを示す好例だ。』
