Daniel Johns, ex-frontman of Silverchair, has released a new single eight years after his Hottest 100-winning hit "Straight Lines."
The song sees Johns take a dramatic twist in his sound - one he already morphed for 2007's Straight Lines. Comparisons are being made to Frank Ocean, D'Angelo and James Blake.
Still, people aren't quite sure how to feel about the new track.
Well. Daniel Johns' new song is beige beyond belief. #nothereforit
I don't know how I feel about Daniel Johns' new song?
A silverchair fan reacts to the first nanosecond of the new #DanielJohns single
Johns is also receiving plaudits for his ability to continually reinvent his sound.
Brand new Daniel Johns music. Omg shivers down my spine. Love his ability to reinvent himself even after all this time. @triplej
Listening to new Daniel Johns on @triplej. Feels like a grower and pretty different to Silverchair.
Damn just listened... Daniel Johns new song is so different than anything he's ever done before which shows he can do anything #musician
A music video is set to be released for the single as well, directed by Lorin Askill – the mind behind clips for Flume, Chet Faker amd Sia. Until then, just look at this.
