Given his musical journey through Soul, Rock, Folk and Blues, Noah has been influenced by a wide range of styles and great artists such as Bob Dylan and Marvin Gaye. This has enabled Noah Francis Johnson to traverse musical genres with ease. The single 'FIRE' is his latest manifestation of music with no boundaries.
This has been a successful year for Noah Francis Johnson's musical career. Since his debut album Life & Times and his recent E.P Harvest Tree, Noah Francis Johnson has enjoyed national and international recognition with increasing awareness and accolades from Quincy Jones and Jean-Michel Bernard (a long-time collaborator of Ray Charles) who has publicly likened Noah's delivery to Ray Charles. This has all coincided with continued worldwide media coverage from the BBC, T.V and Radio networks in Europe and the UK and one of the UK's biggest publications naming him as 'one to watch' - The Independent.
The song is co-produced by Chris Kimsey (Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, Jimmy Cliff) and Noah Francis Johnson himself. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, the song was mixed by Rob Hill (Korn, Cypress Hill) and features great musicians including drummer Andy Treacey (Faithless), lead guitarist Paul Stacey (Oasis, Black Crows), rhythm guitarist John Robertson (Morcheeba), classical cellist Nihan (Muse) and Jazz Pianist of the Year Paddy Milner (David Gilmour, Van Morrison). The accompaniment of the L.A. Gospel Choir singing in the outro chorus brings the record to its ethereal crescendo.
