Wellington-based indie-pop artist Jack Panther returns with yet another breathtaking new single Blue Boy, the fourth single to be released from his upcoming EP, this dream i had.

The EP will be released on Friday November 13 and can be pre-saved HERE. Blue Boy follows the release of This Dream, Headlights and Sleep which all saw strong media support from his native New Zealand and European media.

“… the triennial teaser track is yet another divergent side to the indie pop artist’s growing discography..” – Sniffers on Sleep.

Blue Boy is a summer-y and peachy pop song. Its glittery verses and pop production disguise the hidden turmoil behind the song: falling in love with someone else. When speaking of the track, Panther states: “I took a break from writing this track to head to the beach with my friends. Whilst dipping my feet in the water I wrote the chorus lyric ‘lover swimming in the deep blue’. Everything about this track reminds me of summer, hell I even wrote it at the beach.”.

He further reflects: “Blue Boy has sort of got two sides to the song, summer-y and melancholic. I felt so stuck at the time, so many conflicting emotions of love and guilt because I fell for someone else.”

It’s clear 2020 will see an even bigger year for Panther with the release of his debut EP, this dream i had, on November 13. The EP is a collaboration with UK based producer, Ian Barter who has worked in developing artists like Amy Winehouse, FKA Twigs and Paloma Faith in the past. The concept of the EP was inspired by one of Panther’s vivid and complex dreams, in particular, a dream about the future of himself and his now ex-partner.

To celebrate the release of the EP in New Zealand, Jack Panther will perform in his home city, Wellington, at San Fran on Thursday November 26. Featuring local acts Prison Choir and Baxter Perry as support, tickets are available from www.undertheradar.co.nz
