CLINT WILSON SHARES CHARMING NEW SINGLE ‘WHEN I FIND SOMEBODY NEW’
A sublime lesson in nostalgia, relatability and storytelling, the brand new single When I Find Somebody New out today from Australian singer-songwriter Clint Wilson ruminates with folk and alt-country charm.
Spinning a short but sweet spell, and loaded with vintage pop finesse, When I Find Somebody New saw Wilson curate a modern take on The Beatles while dovetailing a real-world experience into an upbeat yet vulnerable end result. “Some friends of mine went through a messy divorce and it got me thinking about when you find a new partner, how long can you hide all of your bad traits from them?” shares Clint. “For some reason I have a vision of a cat in my head, strutting around the neighbourhood, searching for someone it thinks will treat them better.”
Engineered by Damian Cafarella and produced by Kevin Bennett at Clint’s studio Ziggy Tone in Melbourne, When I Find Somebody New once again showcases Clint’s renowned ability to conjure nostalgic suburban alt-country authenticity akin to fellow Aussie greats like Paul Kelly, You Am Iand The Go-Betweens. When I Find Somebody New also offers fans yet another insight into Clint’s, as yet unannounced, new album due for release later this year, with the new record also set to feature his whole band, consisting of family members and friends, both old and new.
Capable of building an instant connection with listeners and audiences, Clint Wilson’s innate ability to transform life’s small moments into immersive and cathartic worlds within his music has led to comparisons to the likes of Paul Kelly and Crowded House since he first emerged onto the scene back in 2017. Growing up surrounded by seminal songwriters like Johnny Cash, Paul Kelly, Patsy Cline and Slim Dusty, Clint’s early days learning guitar and piano also helped to pave the way to becoming a singer-songwriter oozing with authenticity. But it wouldn’t be until adulthood that Clintwould pursue songwriting, going on to release three studio albums to date, as well as collaborate with the likes of Billie Jo-Porter and Gretta Ziller.
Via his most recent studio album, 2023’s L.A., Clint paid homage to the city where he ultimately recorded the 9-track LP while teaming up with the Grammy-nominated producer Callum Barter (Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile) and Paul Bushnellin Barter’s home studio, which Clint helped rebuild. Returning down under six months later with his Australian band in tow, Clint’s open-veined lyricism and alt country flair ultimately culminated in an album laden with honesty and sincerity, while also cementing Clint’s reputation as one of the truly great modern Australian singer-songwriters.
Whether onstage at Tamworth Country Music Festival or supporting the likes of Kevin Bennett and The Flood and Andrew Swift, Clint is a true performer at heart and has wowed audiences across Australia. International touring is also firmly in his sights as he looks beyond the upcoming release of a brand new studio album later this year. Clint has recorded his (as yet unannounced) fourth album in a studio he built himself. When I Find Somebody New is a charming single that will undoubtedly also enamour in a live setting.
When I Find Somebody is out today.
