Brighton-based Alt-pop and electronic-rock artist and singer-songwriter, Józio has just dropped his soul-crushing, heart-popping, and mind-blowing album, Winter of which Wait For Us is but a teaser. The 11-track album is an artistic liberation of the mind, heart, and spirit with fresh curves of melodies and refreshing vocals.
The glinting acoustic strings that open the song are reminiscent of flickering candlelight in the wind. And, as if on cue, the backdrop is formed by swishing winds before manifesting into popping synth lines that beautifully illuminate the acoustics. The rhythm progression of the song is magnificent. It takes the slow serene melodies to a realm of racing beats, realizing glowing trinkets of melodic orbs that are truly transfixing. The scenic curves of the synths blossom into a total trippy pop color show that gives the listener a dreamy harmonic release.
The sound is alive. It spills into you like lush waterfalls, rhythmically torrential and immutable. Swishing baritone vocals fit right into the aesthetic of the song, its deep husk timbre expands the calming vibe of the song. A beautiful blend of R&B/Soul, the vocals’ desperate emotion is stunning to experience. This euphonic matter bobs with profound emotion and warmth, making for the perfect winter song. Its dreamy blues and delicious pain are so emotionally fulfilling.
Available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, JioSaavn, and Wynk Music!
