With ‘Backstage’, Jay-Jay has already released his 15th album, and his inspiration is constantly renewed. Here we find the fundamental elements of his musical universe: jazz, triphop, pop and even a touch of Easy Listening. The first single, the soaring ‘How Long Do You Think We're Gonna Last?’, imposes a delicious soul sound, somewhat unheard of in Jay-Jay's first 14 albums. On ‘Backstage’, for the first time in his discography, Jay-Jay sings a track entirely in French, dedicated to Rimbaud. The lyrics are by French writer Renaud Santa Maria. Finally, Jay-Jay delivers a personal version of ‘Lujon’, the cult song from the 100th birthday of its composer Henry Mancini. Recorded in Stockholm during the winter of 2024, the album was mastered in Paris by Alex Gopher (Air, Phoenix, Bob Sinclar...). In the edition of 1000 vinyls, there are 20 gold tickets to be won, randomly distributed. The golden tickets give a VIP invitation for any Jay-Jay Johanson gig + backstage access with Jay-Jay Johanson.
