Super by Jonni Slater

First single from new album, Between the Shadows (out September 2025).

A song about the gap between who we would like to be and who we are. Real life doesn’t always match up to imagination and the version of me in my head doesn't always show up when it counts.

"poetic lyrics ... soulfully delivered by Slater" - York Calling

"a sincerity that leaves a lasting impression" - Direct-Actu

"refreshingly different ... sung with conviction and soul" - Jelli Records

"It starts off fairly translucent with syncopated arpeggios accompanying Jonni’s distinctive vocals but, as the track builds in layers, it becomes decidedly more cinematic, also offering smartly nuanced contrasts, stops, drops and dynamic shifts to keep events moving. Expertly done and impressive." - Trust the Doc

Lyrics

Lyrics:

Is anyone in need of a rescue?
I think it’s maybe something I could do
I have the cape, the laser eye
I have the logo too

I move like an arrow
Leap small houses in a single bound
And when I pass across the sun
I make that whooshing sound

Just something maybe I should mention
Before you blaze that signal in the sky
I always have the heart to feel
Don’t always have the nerve to try

I can’t always identify the villain
Without that courtesy, an evil laugh
Can’t always find the telling word
Full power comes out half

And as the crisis fades away
See my good intentions on the shelf
The crowds are gone, the cameras off
No-one watching but myself

I’ll wait underground undetected
See the world exploding on my screens
I’ll monitor your frequency
Always beside you like my dreams
