John also had a Zoom recording session with Texas soul pop duo Surfaces, contributing piano and vocals to the track “Learn To Fly.” He flew to London to lend the same talents to Damon Albarn’s Gorillaz and the song “The Pink Phantom,” and then duetted with Japanese singer and model Rina Sawayama on “Chosen Family.”
