Joshua has the feeling of being an instant classic, a timeless, uplifting & inspiring piece of music to refer back to again & again.

All at once distant & intimate. The artist’s vocal performance is gentler here than on previous recordings, though it always has a captivating softness.
It’s a song about my life growing up & it mostly reflects on a motivational point of view. Getting out of that hole. Grinding towards something better.
It’s a dedicatory album for people that are important to me. I composed it & will release it this year because you never know when it’s your last day.
When you listen to what Caellus has been involved with, it’s difficult to expect anything less than brilliant, and for that brilliance to arrive at scale.
“There is a concept, it’s about bad decisions people make, it’s about lies, secrets, the cold silence & the comforting noise that surrounds us.”
A fascinating concept. This next album is indeed one for the fans, one that puts it’s audience first & doesn’t include anything that isn’t deemed worthy.
These attentive observations come partly as metaphor, partly as reality. There’s a distinct presence of sadness, but it’s quite empowering to hear.
A well rounded piece of songwriting with an easy to listen to, uplifting ambiance that’s loaded with good vibes.
The organic nature of the instrumentation allows you to hear the unique characteristics of the voice & appreciate the beautiful optimism of the lyrics.
In a wonderful way, this unorthodox structure reflects perhaps the highs & lows of being an American right now & everything that comes with that.
Opportunities for independent artists have never been greater. I have full control over my career. My global reach is unprecedented.
