Artificial Incline is a lyricist and singer-songwriter, Joshua Simon, who tells powerful stories. His art form and sonic craft is made to carry his love for storytelling, each song creating such vivid and emotional soundscapes that you can immerse in and even get lost. It’s like reading a really good book that you become a part of. Coming out of his soundscapes, you will feel altered, or at the very least feel affected. These qualities stand out instantly in his debut EP, ‘Used to Be’, an alt pop collection that is spectacularly detailed and full of sentiments. Taken from the EP is ‘King Without Crown’, a track that details a fantastical land, where a King, previously held with honor and glory has lost his crown. 

The track traces his downfall into insignificance, loss of identity and the melancholic wisdom gained from it. From this tale, the artist draws out the heartache of a broken relationship. And the nightmare that follows makes him feel without purpose, makes him feel hollow, makes him feel like a king without crown. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
