Johnny Venus Kicks off Solo Era With “So Beautiful”
Featuring fellow Spillage Village artist 6lack.
Johnny Venus, also known as Olu of EARTHGANG, returns with a soulful new single: “So Beautiful,” featuring fellow Spillage Village artist 6lack.
Defying expectations, the duo switches up their usual dynamic — Johnny leans into his smooth falsetto, while 6lack delivers introspective bars, showcasing their range within Atlanta’s eclectic music scene. Set against a rich neo-soul backdrop, “So Beautiful” exudes warmth and intimacy. The lush Wurlitzer keys create a nostalgic, dreamlike atmosphere, perfectly complementing Johnny’s heartfelt vocals. The song’s hook repeats the phrase “so, so beautiful,” reinforcing its dreamy, romantic feel.
This release marks Johnny Venus’ first offering under his solo deal with Sincethe80s/Epic Records. Alongside the single, he announced his debut solo album, Earth 2 Olu, describing it as a personal narrative of his growth and evolution. While the album’s release date remains under wraps, Johnny emphasizes that now is the right time to embark on this new chapter.
Arriving just months after EARTHGANG’s fifth studio album, Perfect Fantasy, “So Beautiful” signals Johnny Venus’ ability to seamlessly blend genres while delivering deeply emotional storytelling.
