Jonny Corralitos has been busy since his ‘World Of Sound’ EP, dropped back in 2025. ‘Who Loves The Sun’ is the first look at that period and a light, bright cover of a Velvet Underground track. The playful rendition, much like its cover art, is perfect for summer days and catching surf.
Moody vocals are countered by the jovial harmonies and picture-perfect brass lines, in a cover put together by Johnny and his long-time collaborators.
Joined by Dave Brogan (ALO), Andre de Santanna (Jason Mraz, Ziggy Marley), Dave Simon-Baker (Zach Gill) and Grammy winner Alfonso Rodenas, taking up drums, bass, production and mixing respectively, these big hitters have made a big impact.
Discussing the release, Jonny explains:
“People seem to like the cover, and I am happy with the way it turned out. The track reminds me of something that could have been used in the old 60s Southern California “Beach” genre movies.
The song/cover/track started with a click track, an acoustic guitar, and a female singer I was producing at the time. In between her songs, I would play old tunes, and we would track them, just acoustic guitar and scratch vocal. I thought this song sounded good. It had a vibe. I then began reworking the song off of the original guitar and background vocal, bringing in my musician friends to track drums, bass, keys, and pedal steel. I then overdubbed new guitar parts, added a surf guitar solo, and more background vocals. The song just developed from there. Another keyboardist I work with added horn parts; Andre Santanna added more bass, and then mixed it.”
