The project was produced by Black Mills known for his work with Jim James, Perfume Genius and Alabama Shakes, and recorded at Sound City and EastWest in Los Angeles as well as Johnson’s Studio in Hawaii The Mango Tree.

“When Blake and I first got in touch, we were sending each other playlists, and over time we realized that we were drawn to music that sounds effortless despite all the effort put into it. create,” Johnson said in a press release. “After a while we learned a language together and I gained a confidence in him that allowed me to let go, get out of my comfort zone and get a sound that I really liked.”

On Earth Day, Johnson is scheduled to perform at the Kōkua Learning Farm located in the heart of Haleʻiwa, Hawaii. The farm is Johnson’s Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation’s latest effort to establish agricultural, educational and retail activities to promote local food, waste reduction and environmental stewardship.
