Commissioned especially for a Meg Ryan/Antonio Banderas feature, My Mom's New Boyfriend, by the film's producer, Ian and his songwriting partner set out to fashion a big, bittersweet pop gem about paranoia and obsession. Ultimately, it makes only a brief appearance in the film, but it leaves an unforgettable impression on listeners. Meaning, it's probably Ian's most accessible single yet.
This time, Swiss Auto Club’s John Bonaventura teamed up with Ian and Chris to make it as big as it is, playing on it, producing it and contributing to the writing of it. And after featuring wonderful original art by Australia’s Smitten By Stephanie and England’s Allison Moore on the last two singles, the cover art for “Listening In” comes straight from Nashville, thanks to the one and only Sarah Fuchsia.
