Vance Joy

“Missing Piece” is the first taste of new music from Vance Joy in three years, and follows on from his recent collaboration with fellow superstars Benny Blanco and Marshmello on “You.” Out now via Atlantic Records, the track was written virtually during a COVID lockdown with Joel Little (Taylor Swift, Khalid, Lorde). It was inspired by people all over the globe being separated from their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic and is a song for our times. “Missing Piece” arrives also with a charming, playful video from Melbourne-based director Annelise Hickey and sees Vance Joys love going to extreme lengths to deliver him his forgotten lunch.

“’Missing Piece’ is a song about being separated from someone you love,” said Vance. “It can be tough but when what you have is good you know that these separations are just small stuff; you’re both holding the line. It’s about the stillness you find when you are together. I wrote it with Joel Little on a zoom call. I’m a big fan of his great songwriting and production. I think we tapped into something that’s relatable given so many people around the world have been separated recently due to restricted travel.”

In 2013, the Australian singer and songwriter, Vance Joy signed a five-album deal with Atlantic Records. He released his debut EP, God Loves You When You're Dancing, in 2013. His song "Riptide" was voted number 1 on the 2013 Triple J Hottest 100. Vance Joy released his debut studio album, Dream Your Life Away, in 2014. His second studio album, Nation Of Two, was released in 2018. Known as a charming, celebratory live performer, Vance Joy has lit up audiences around the world on a string of sold out headline tours as well as special guest turns on stadium runs by avowed fans like Taylor Swift and P!nk. 2018 saw the release of Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, recorded earlier that same year at the historic Colorado venue during the acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter’s epic “Nation Of Two World Tour.”
