Singer-songwriter Richard Neuberg, formerly of Viarosa, approached Johnny to craft the strings for his debut solo album, The Vine, set for release in late 2024. Johnny’s sweeping string arrangements, haunting French horns, and delicate female harmonies intertwine with Richard’s rich baritone vocals and intricate classical guitar, underscoring the album’s brooding, heart-wrenching beauty. This collaboration marks a continuation of their musical synergy, building on Neuberg’s dark, genre-defying sound, which first drew comparisons to Americana icons like Josh T. Pearson and Midlake. Johnny’s arrangements bring depth, creating vast emotional landscapes that feel both intimate and epic. Neuberg’s return, with Johnny’s cinematic strings in tow, promises something far beyond simple categorisation—a uniquely stunning fusion of light and shadow that will soon be heard live across the UK.

“I feel so fortunate to know Johnny. As an arranger, he is technically brilliant, but more importantly, Johnny has a very rare gift in his ability to attune so beautifully to the specific needs and musical landscape of any particular artist. My own music would be so much poorer without the unique world that Johnny has created around it. And the same is true for all of the other artists that I have produced, together with Johnny’s arrangements. The fact that he is able engineer and can record to such a high quality is his own studio is an added gift.” – Richard Neuberg
