Skyboy is the new album by Duncan Laurence, the singer/songwriter who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019. The album, which includes the single of the same name and singles Electric Life and Rest In Peace, is the successor to his debut album Small Town Boy from November 2020. All in all, it took Duncan about a year and a half to complete the album, together with songwriter and major love Jordan Garfield. Most of the music was recorded in Los Angeles, “but pretty much anywhere we could write,” says Duncan.
He has worked with two producers from New Zealand: Sam de Jong and Leroy Clampitt. 'They have also traveled back and forth and have also recorded with their laptop in New Zealand. And then back in LA. And I would occasionally be in Stockholm with Jordan, where we also recorded, or in Amsterdam.”
“In making the album I very much tried to mix a nostalgic sound with state of the art sound techniques. Sure, I still sing of heartbreaks and of how difficult love can be. But I also have an attitude of shrugging things off. It is not all melancholic, piano based and slow tempo.”
