Description
His second studio album in as many years, Cheap Medication arrives as the follow-up to 2019 solo debut: Next Episode Starts In 15 Seconds and is the next instalment of what Johnny hopes will become an annual series of releases. The new album continues a prolific spell of activity for the songwriter that has also seen him release two compilations of outtakes and rarities (Low Fidelity Vol. 1 & 2); work in collaboration with his partner Billie Piper and playwright Lucy Prebble (Succession) to score the entire soundtrack for the critically acclaimed Sky Atlantic series I Hate Suzie which is out now; plus rekindle friendships with his original band of brothers to reform: Tribes. SINGLE 1: REAL THING 16th September 2020 Premiered by Steve Lamacq on BBC 6Music, Real Thing is the albums leading single and offers a first glimpse of Johnnys upcoming sophomore record. Dreamy of delivery, its a straight-up love song to rival the best. Johnny says of the single. Its about finding your purpose to be with the person youre meant to be with. I wanted to write a rocknroll love song, instead of a cliched one. Its rough around the edges, but its definitely a love song. SINGLE 2: SUZE 16th October 2020 The songs of Cheap Medication reflect a very different Johnny Lloyd; a maturing artist broadening his horizons with a range of new experiences, perspectives and influences. None more so apparent than on Suze the laid-back soulful folkiness inspired by the works of Harry Nilsson, The Mamas & The Papas and The War on Drugs.
