Info
Desire and Johnny Jewel bring their shared Italians Do It Better universe to London on November 25, 2026 at Colour Factory. Born in Montreal, Desire has always played the long game: synth-pop built on slow-to-mid tempos, italo disco pulse and that cool new wave glow, all carried by Megan Louise’s voice. The songs move in a tight space between romance and restraint, with melodies that stick without forcing it. From the early signature “Under Your Spell” to later albums like Escape and Games People Play, the project keeps the same night-drive tension: dreamy hooks, retro textures, and a clean, minimal frame that lets the mood do the work.
Johnny Jewel, producer, composer and key architect of this sound, sits at the center of that nocturnal aesthetic. From Glass Candy to Chromatics and Symmetry, his writing leans on looping basslines, hazy synth layers and cinematic pacing. Beyond the stage, he’s also known for film scores, shaping the same atmosphere in instrumental form. Expect a set where pop songs and soundtrack sensibilities meet, with special guests rounding out the bill.
