The Disappearance – December 7th, 2025 Award-winning Liverpool-based singer-songwriter John Jenkins unveils ‘The Disappearance’ the third single from his critically acclaimed album Restless Hearts. Set for release on all digital platforms December 7th, 2025, the track features standout performances from Mikey Kenney (fiddle) adding rich texture to Jenkins’s signature storytelling. Reflecting on the song, John shares: This song began as a quiet meditation on the fragility of relationships — a reflection on how, when bonds become strained, the sudden disappearance of a partner might leave the other unsure whether they’ve been abandoned or if something more tragic has occurred. It was a compelling idea to explore in song. In the wake of Nicola Bulley’s heartbreaking disappearance and the devastating news of her passing near the River Wyre, the song has taken on a deeper emotional resonance. Though it was written before that tragedy, performing it now carries an added poignancy I hadn’t anticipated. With beautifully understated fiddle contributions from Mickey Kenney. The talents of Chris Howard, Pippa Murdie and Jon Lawton also featured, this track has become one of my personal favourites from the Restless Hearts album. I’ve been especially moved to see it recently covered by two independent artists — a gesture that means a great deal.
