Geese frontman Cameron Winter has responded to speculation that he is singing under an alias on Phoebe Bridgers‘ new album ‘Lost Weekend’.
Bridgers is due to release her long-awaited third studio record next Friday (August 14) via Dead Oceans, following on from 2020’s ‘Punisher’. She has already shared its lead single, ‘Lost Boys’, and revealed the LP’s full tracklist.
Rolling Stone is among the first outlets to post a review of the imminent ‘Lost Weekend’, and suggested that Winter could have secretly contributed vocals to the project.
The publication pointed to an unknown guest named ‘Son-John Johnson’ among the credits, which also feature Bridgers’ Boygenius bandmates Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, as well as her longtime collaborator Christian Lee Hutson. Jack Antonoff and Alex G provided additional production.
It is said that the mystery ‘Johnson’ is credited on two ‘Lost Weekend’ songs. He reportedly takes on backing vocals on ‘Kill Me’, and duets with Bridgers on ‘I Can’t Wait’. “All my life/ Side by side/ Hyde Jekyll Hyde/ Finally together,” they sing together on the latter.
In a separate article, Rolling Stone noted that the voice of ‘Johnson’ would sound “awfully familiar” to fans of Geese and Winter’s solo work. He is known for his distinctive vocals, with the outlet saying that his “raw falsetto is unmistakable” on Bridgers’ album.
