INDIE POP ARTIST, CLINTON JOHN, BREAKS DOWN HIS BRAND NEW TRACK, “HONEST."
CLINTON JOHN’S SINGLE, “HONEST” IS HIS FIRST RELEASE IN OVER A YEAR. WE GOT THE DOWN LOW ON WHERE IT CAME FROM, WHAT IT MEANS, AND SOME HARD EVIDENCE AS TO WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN ITS EARLIER FORMS.
“Honest was very much so a therapy session while writing the song with Chelsea (Balan) and Will (McBeath).
Sometimes you go into a writing room knowing what you feel and what you want to say and other times you are emotionally processing in real time as you’re writing.
I always said that I would be happy for my ex finding someone else if they made him happy and Honest came from Realizing that I was totally lying to myself.
I think we all hope we will be able to take the highroad when an ex-lover moves on and be happy for them but in reality that is easier said than done.”
