Internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Jann Klose has released his brand-new single, “When I’m With You,” via The Royalty Network/KMG Distribution in New York City, with neighbouring rights managed by David Gresham Records in Johannesburg, South Africa.
“When I’m With You” is a Collaboration with Bon Jovi’s Everett Bradley
Co-written with Everett Bradley—longtime member of Bon Jovi and Seal’s band—the track is a heartfelt celebration of human connection set to a vibrant, synth-tinged rock backdrop. Everett also serves as co-producer and performer on the track.
“Musically I’ve always been inspired by Jann’s serious vocal chops, how it connects to his guitar playing, and how he connects with people,” says Bradley. “But as we delved into the feelings of a one-on-one connection, that’s when ‘When I’m With You’ started taking shape. And the deeper and more vulnerable Jann became, the better the song became. Now it’s an upbeat celebration with deep undertones of the human connection experience.”
Jann Klose adds: “Working with someone of Everett’s calibre and continuing my work with ‘Surrender’ producer Marcus Dembinski is a dream team come true. Everett got me to open up in a way I haven’t felt comfortable to do until now. I love the honesty of ‘When I’m With You’ and hope it will bring a sense of connection to the listener.”
Marcus Dembinski helped shape the song’s vibrant production: “We were able to push the sound in a new direction, with 80s synth pop and anthemic rock music influencing the arrangement and production. Jann’s powerful voice and bright acoustic guitar combined with heavy drums reminiscent of Billy Joel and the B-52s, as well as the synths and guitars of A-ha and Toto, to create a bold new direction for Jann Klose.”
Recorded at The Koop Studios in Irvington, New York, the track features electric guitar by Nashville’s Max Sternlicht. It was engineered by Matt Graff and mastered by Ben Kesler in St. Louis.
Jann Klose carries over a Universal Message About Presence and Connection
“When I’m With You” is a powerful reminder that the deepest connections in life often come from simply being present—with ourselves, and with each other.
