Song Details/Information
LA-based electro-pop singer and songwriter John Conlin, has jointly releases his new single and music video “It Doesn’t Matter.” The track features Conlin’s agile vocals and 80s sound effects while paralleling his optimistic outlook on life and love through its rose-colored lyrics and visuals.

With minimalism being at the forefront in pop music today, “It Doesn’t Matter” is a maximalist dance-pop track featuring layers of glistening synths and a massive beat meant to get everyone up and moving. The festive track hooks listeners with a chantable chorus, reminiscent of Katy Perry’s early music, while the video features personality-filled choreography. Both, the single and music video’s fantastical view on love and use of color reintroduces us to a currently overlooked “love conquers all” attitude and an early 2010s vibe.

Dancing in front of abstract colors, Conlin sings of love in a way many listeners may not have heard since they were tasked with dissecting 16th-century literature in high school- unrelenting and overcoming everything life throws at it. His seemingly archaic perspective is a surprising breath of fresh air in a time when love is so often being put on the back burner.

Conlin’s lyrical use of the first tense places him directly in the song’s narrative, adding to his self-proclaimed title of “Hopeful Romantic.”

“I sing about how nothing really matters because I love you and I know that at the end of the day, we’re always going to be alright. It’s about forgiveness and trust and knowing that you’re always going to be there for each other.” – John Conlin on his single “It Doesn’t Matter”

John Conlin moved to Los Angeles from his hometown, Toronto, to pursue music. His musical influence stems greatly from the massive pop overtaking of the early 2010s. Today, Conlin invites you into his world of technicolor electropop where he creates a sense of urgency driven by massive synth hooks and larger-than-life vocals. With lyrical themes of love, fantasy, and escapism layered over maximalist production, Conlin’s music will have you filled with vibrant emotion on the dance floor.
