VANCE JOY UNVEILSNEW SINGLE “MISSING PIECE” - OUT NOW
MULTI-PLATINUM SINGER-SONGWRITER RELEASES FIRSTNEW MUSIC IN MORE THAN THREE YEARS
“Missing Piece” is the firsttaste of new music from Vance Joy in three years, and followson from his recent collaboration with fellow superstars Benny Blanco and Marshmello on“You.” Written virtually during a COVID lockdownwith Joel Little (Taylor Swift, Khalid, Lorde), “MissingPiece” was inspired by people all over the globe being separated from theirloved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic and is a song for our times.
“’Missing Piece’ is a song about being separatedfrom someone you love,” Vance says. “It can be tough but when what youhave is good you know that these separations are just small stuff; you’re bothholding the line. It’s about the stillness you find when you are together. Iwrote it with Joel Little on a zoom call. I’m a big fan of his greatsongwriting and production. I think we tapped into something that’s relatablegiven so many people around the world have been separated recently due to restrictedtravel.”
“Missing Piece” arrives with a charming, playfulvideo from Melbourne based director Annelise Hickey and seesVance Joys love going to extreme lengths to deliver him his forgotten lunch.
