News.com.au reports that Johns wore a white tuxedo on Thursday as he sang "Aerial Love" on the stage of the Sydney Opera House's Concert Hall. A harpist was also included in the show.

Triple M reports that "Cool On Fire" is another single that is part of Johns' "Talk" album. The music video for "Cool On Fire" was officially released on May 22, 2015. It was directed by Josh Logue.

Brendan Annakin of Triple M Homegrown recently spoke to Daniel about the distinct sound of his new solo album. Annakin asked Johns to describe "Talk."

"Predominently I think everything I do no matter what somehow has a pop influence. But there's definitely an R'n'B thing that's going on within most of the tracks," Johns told Annakin in the Triple M report.

"I wanted it to be a smooth, quite minimal record. I wanted it to be electronic and warm when you put it on," Johns added.

The 36-year-old Australian singer and songwriter, whose side projects include The Dissociatives, Tambalane, The Mess Hall and Bento, also mentioned that his solo album was "a conscious effort to burn rock'n'roll to the ground."

"Talk" is available as a digital album ($16.99), CD album ($19.99) and Vinyl Pack ($65.99). Click here to learn more about it. Click here to see videos from Daniel Johns' official YouTube channel.
