JOHN’S SOUL has released a new single and lyric video for ‘Open Wound’, now available on all digital platforms. Watch the lyric video below.

“Open Wound” is a weary, worn-out, necessary track.
An unheard monologue, addressed to someone who can hear but is unable to listen. An open emotional wound transformed into music, laying bare the lack of communication and the sense of frustration that comes with it.

With this new single, John’s Soul (Giovanni Barborini) delivers an intense, unfiltered track, capable of translating inner weight into sound and words, maintaining a constant balance between emotional impact and artistic awareness.

JOHN’S SOUL: AN AUTHENTIC IDENTITY

John’s Soul is a project born in 2016 from a spontaneous and deep need for personal expression. An artistic path that took shape naturally, to the point that the project name was officially adopted only later, when its identity was already clearly defined.

At its core lies a multimedia vision, where music, lyrics, and visual imagery interact in sync. The artist’s personal experiences are reworked to create a direct dialogue with the listener, moving between the social sphere and the psychological dimension.

SOUND AND LANGUAGE

The sound of “Open Wound” is rooted in a grunge and punk background, infused with broader influences that help define a raw, direct, and deeply emotional style.

Every sonic element is designed to reinforce the meaning of the lyrics, in a constant dialogue between music and words, where nothing is superfluous.

The vocals—intense and charged with tension—become the main narrative vehicle of the track, conveying all the fragility and urgency of its message.

THE ARTIST

Behind John’s Soul is Giovanni Barborini, an artist engaged in a training path focused on voice care and extreme vocal techniques, elements that strongly influence his expressive approach.

This ongoing research is reflected in sincere songwriting and a conscious vocal performance, capable of supporting complex themes without losing authenticity.

A NECESSARY SONG

“Open Wound” moves through alienation, lack of communication, and emotional fragility, confronting the listener with deeply relevant inner and social dynamics.

It offers no solutions or judgments, but opens a space for listening and reflection, where discomfort becomes a shared language.
