Naomi Johnson Shares New Song “Bricks Make Houses”

Naomi Johnson releases new song “Bricks Make Houses,” out now, March 21st, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

There are plenty of hardworking artists in Nashville that reinvent themselves often. Naomi Johnson (formerly of Runaway June) is one oft those incredible singer-songwriters. While Johnson has always been a pure talent in the industry, 2025 is slated to be the year that she steps out in her true authenticity. Today, the songstress re-introduces herself with a brand new song called “Bricks Make Houses.”

Johnson and her nine brothers and sisters grew up living in a school bus with their two parents, sleeping on plywood shelves with no AC or plumbing. “Bricks Make Houses” was created out of that experience. The powerful new song showcases the unconventional life that Johnson lived growing up. Despite that, the songstress created a song that anyone can relate to. It’s a story of love and family, truly making a home.

“We were barely getting by // but we forgot most of the time // We weren’t broken, we were just a little broke // and I feel rich now looking back // because who, not what we had // I learned love ain’t built with stacks of painted stone // Bricks make houses // people make homes”

2025 feels like the year for Johnson! “Bricks Make Houses” is one of the most strikingly honest songs of the year so far. We are excited for the singer’s next release and upcoming debut solo album that is slated for release later this year.
