(October 2nd, 2020 - Nashville, TN) Solidifying his honest pop sound, Clinton John drops his newest single, “Fresh” - a nostalgic and uplifting take on the rush of new romance. The track hit all streaming platforms October 2nd 2020, and is the fourth in a series of singles to drop this year. 

Under the influence of dance-pop mega-stars Troye Sivan, Conan Gray, and Carly Rae Jepson, “Fresh” is driving and infectious, making it a year long summer anthem. Rich tonal synth lines weave in and out, supporting a catchy and intimate lead vocal, while specific, yet universal lyrics help create an image-rich world that makes your heart ache for love you haven’t even found yet. Produced by Nashville based powerhouse producer Robyn Dell’Unto and cowritter Kat Saul, “Fresh” came to life as a part of the BMG Underground Pop songwriters camp led by Noreen Pruiner.

Clinton John speaks out about his inspiration: 
"After my first break-up it was hard for me to imagine having feelings for someone else again. I found myself comparing any new love interest to my previous experience and how everything after that just fell short. The next time I was interested in someone, it took me by surprise and definitely caught me off guard. It was almost like a light bulb went off in my head, letting me know I was capable of developing feelings again. That realization happened almost instantly, they were exciting and felt so fresh”.


Fresh is Clinton John’s last single to be released in 2020, building anticipation for his visual EP scheduled for release in early 2021.

At the center of Nashville, TN’s LGBTQ+ creative community, Clinton John (he/him) is relentlessly himself. As both a boundary pushing visual artist and a genre-breaking pop act, he has been honing his fresh and unique sound for the last several years, collaborating with writers and producers to stand out amongst the crowd. 
 
With hyper vulnerable lyrics coupled with captivating pop soundscapes, Clinton John’s brand has been turning heads since his debut single “Honest” at the top of 2020, landing him a spot in Lee Jean Company’s “Artists at Home” Campaign and Live Stream Showcase. From larger scale media coverage on sites like PopMusik to local press support on No Country For New Nashville and Young Music City, he is quickly cutting through to the top of Nashville’s competitive pop landscape, making a name for himself as a powerful gay voice.

Proudly representing the ‘G’ in LGBTQ+, Clinton John pays homage to his fellow gay pop elders Elton John and George Michael with his two first names. In the journey to forging similar notoriety as some of his inspirations Troye Sivan, Conan Gray, and Carly Rae Jepson he has performed on the Main Stage of Nashville Pride, RNBW writers rounds, and various showcases in the Nashville area slating himself as a high energy performer.

​
Clinton John describes how being a part of the LGBTQ+ community inspires his art: "I realized that giving any merit or thought to the people who don't approve of my lifestyle would only be a dead end for my own happiness. I am so privileged and proud to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community. They’ve been endlessly supportive and, hopefully, they can find themselves and their experiences in my music because that’s who I make music for.”
