Joshua Lloyd is a London-based musician with a versatility. He is a rapper, singer-songwriter, electro pop & rock artist and producer. His many skills allow him to cohesively distill his music and refine his vision. The soundscapes might be seemingly simple and vibeful but there’s so much purpose and creativity that goes into them in the background. Joshua’s latest album, ‘I’m Wasted, Now Welcome To The Show’ is a laid back collection that speculates casually on the ruins of human experience. However, within its off-handed tone, you’ll find narratives that are insightful and full of contemplative depth.
The tracks are a delightful array of pop-rap, rock, electronica, and hip-hop elements all fused with diverse energy frequencies. Tracks like ‘Clark’, ‘At Least We Tried’, ‘IDKWIG’, and ‘The Edge’ are hard-riffed rock tracks with platooning beats and intense vocals. He takes it up a notch with ‘Gaslighting’ featuring Walwin. Bolstered with hyper synths and a soaring percussive spirit, the rock scape is stimulatingly explosive. It seems to activate dopamine pockets in the mind and liberates the listening experience.
But the rock angst is tempered by the mellow pop-rap numbers. With elating funk quotients and hip-hop flavors ‘Title Track’, ‘Heartless’ and ‘18’ they are chill flows that are both vibrant and ruminative. Fans of Khalid and Drake are sure to enjoy these chill flows.‘Guilty’ and ‘Weirdo’ are acoustic and intimate tracks that further dilate the energy. Narrative driven and well-textured, they are the kind of tracks that anchor the listener to its essence. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
