International media attention continues as earlier this week, Johnson guest starred on Huw Stephens' BBC Radio 1 show where he discussed I'll Forget 17 and a few of the album highlights on the infamous segment, "It's Album Time".

In the short time he has been writing, recording and producing,
Lontalius has gone from making bedroom-pop remixes to fully developed, raw and
relatable love songs; made fans out of fellow New Zealand stars Lorde and
Troye Sivan; collaborated with Ty Dolla $ign and Ryan Hemsworth (including
releasing several tracks on Hemsworth's Secret Songs).
From the Wellington show, Eddie travels to the U.S. to play Lollapallooza
late July in his other guise as Race Banyon, all of which is evolving into a
move to L.A. for the young musician.

"Homebrewed, lo-fi
charm... his understated voice compliments the gorgeously soft composition...

delicately processed pop songs... making us feel an indescribable longing... so
much, and all at once." - The FADER
