UK Indie R&B Artist Jonjo Swann Reflects On His Flaws With New Single “I Need You”

London-based R&B artist Jonjo Swann has shared his new single “I Need You”. Inspired by the ’90s and ’00s R&B pioneers such as Boys 2 Men and Toni Braxton, and more contemporary artists like Frank Ocean and Blood Orange, his new single is an emotionally driven track about realizing one’s mistakes.

“‘I Need You’ is about a time when I allowed somebody in and out of my life as they pleased because they made me feel as if I needed them around. When I wrote the song, I was in the middle of that situation and actually the lyrics I wrote first were “Baby, you know I need me more than I need you” – but it didn’t feel true enough to tell my story so I changed it to the actual feeling of needing them instead“.

Infusing soul, jazz, and Latin guitar into his sound, “I Need You” is a wonderful display of his vocal abilities while keeping things slow-burning and delicate.
