Your partner has just broken up with you. You’re lost, alone, depressed. No one in this world understands you, no one cares. The entirety of your existence is confusion, a strangeness that you will never be able to comprehend. Loneliness settles into your life like a dark storm. Comfort is a forgone memory.

Enter Jonny Telafone. This man is an ice queen. Sorrow is rife in his new tune ‘Inferno’ – the second single to be dropped from his highly anticipated new record, Romeo Must Cry. If the Catholic Church ever wanted to get a revamp, blast this shit in the Vatican, and wait for the accolades to roll in.

Percussion ticks over with unnerving precision and synths loom with an almighty presence while Jonny’s vocals get more auto-tune than a Kanye West B-side. Accompanying his track is a clip that’s like some sort of avant-garde introduction video to the cult of Jonny Telafone. There’s a sultry lady beckoning, Liam from the Ocean Party shredding guitar against a background featuring astronomy’s deepest secrets – and the man himself, Jonny Telafone, crooning with palms outspread, begging the audience to join him in his pain.
