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.

"Approachable yet singular, steeped in his own touch, a distinctive sensibility, and a knack for crafting addictive hooks. Opener 'No Guilty Pleasures' sets the tone immediately with Jonny's magic — synths, drum machines, picked guitar and treated vocals. The title track 'Love On Ice' is a classic Italo disco-inflected dancefloor bomb, built on a driving synth bassline layered with hypnotic arpeggios. While much of the record is aimed at dancers, Love On Ice also reaches well beyond the dancefloor. The closing stretch in particular — 'Ref 23' and 'Let's Find A Home' — showcases Jonny's depth and range with a wistful, becalmed mood."
