John Errol is back with a new record. The LA artist announced Damage today, his first full-length since 2021's Inferno, and it lands this fall. He broke the silence last month with "Float," a track that came creeping in like a warning sign. Now the second single is here.
"Shifting Sands" is the one to sit with. It's a cinematic, towering power ballad that stretches toward eight minutes, and Errol lets it breathe the whole way through. This is a slow burn, a stunner that builds and builds before it finally opens up. Fans of the scorched drama on Inferno will find plenty to love here.
There's a patience to this moment that feels earned. Errol took his time between records, and you can hear it in the way "Shifting Sands" unfolds without rushing a single beat. Damage looks like the payoff.
Press play and give it the full eight minutes. This one deserves it.
