"Woman on the Moon" is a lush, romantic homage to putting someone on an absolute pedestal. It blends atmospheric soundscapes with standard pop sensibilities to capture the awe of loving someone so extraordinary they feel entirely out of this world.

- Liner NOTESThis song was written in Los Angeles on a writing trip last summer. I had previously worked with Sara Diamond on the French/English duet version of my single 'With You' back in 2018 and she also joined me breifly on tour in Canada that same year. Also in the room that night was Boy Bennet and Alec, a production/writing duo that brought an incredible creative energy to the session. All 4 of us clicked with some special chemistry and within minutes we had the guitar riff and concept to the song Woman On The Moon

- officialMUSIC VIDEO For this music video I got the opportunity to both direct and write my own concept. I found this incredible landmark in Quebec, Canada called Sentier des cimes Laurentides and felt like it represented the build of the song, as I climbed up and up. We had a sci-fi motif in mind but the love story of getting home to my wife was the real story. This was an incredibly cold 2 days of shooting in the middle of a Canadian winter with temperatures as low as -32°C / -25.6°F to the point my eye lashes froze. I think it was worth it because I'm really happy with how this video turned out. By far my favourite!

Liner NOTES
This song was written in Los Angeles on a writing trip last summer. I had previously worked with Sara Diamond on the French/English duet version of my single 'With You' back in 2018 and she also joined me breifly on tour in Canada that same year.
Also in the room that night was Boy Bennet and Alec, a production/writing duo that brought an incredible creative energy to the session. All 4 of us clicked with some special chemistry and within minutes we had the guitar riff and concept to the song Woman On The Moon
When I was writing this song, I kept imagining how empty my world would be without my wife, who is my rock and anchor. The chorus melody in particular cries out to overwhelming feeling of comfort that somone brings to you everyday.
All this lead me to imagining a post-apocalyptic world and the lengths I would go to get back to her, which I later brought to life in the official music video.
