Track Of The Week: Johnny Lloyd – Rich And Poor


Johnny Lloyd




Live4ever’s Track Of The Week is courtesy of Johnny Lloyd and the latest cut from his debut solo album Next Episode Starts In 15 Seconds.

Rich And Poor features backing vocals from The Maccabees’ Hugo White and is about ‘how we try to retain human relationships within this modern culture we live in’ according to Lloyd, who will release his album on May 3rd. He continues:

“As technology slowly replaces human contact, how does that affect our relationships? That’s been on my mind a lot as I’ve got older. I didn’t have a phone till I was 19, now I can’t live without one.”

The video was filmed in a single take in north London by artist and filmmaker Tobias Ross-Southall. “It’s always amazing working with Toby,” Lloyd observes. “I enjoy it as much as making the records. We have been planning to do a performance video for a while and this song seemed to be the right fit.”
