Having already been tipped as one of the most exciting new names emerging right now, largely thanks to high-profile support slots alongside Paolo Nutini and Rina Sawayama on their recent UK tours, fast-rising Joesef has now returned again to deliver his mesmerising new single 'Borderline'.
Lifted from his forthcoming debut album 'Permanent Damage', which is set to arrive on the 13th January, 'Borderline' is another confident example of his glittering direction to date. With his warm and tranquil voice riding across a sweet and alluring composition from start to finish, he looks set to become one of the more talked-about names for the year ahead already.
Speaking about the new offering, he said, "Borderline was the last song I’d written for the album. It’s a very literal conversational song, and the production is all so close. I wanted it to feel like you are in the room there with us. Sometimes when a song is written with this pace, with a sort of gentleness to it, there is this tendency to want to speed it up or make it bigger. We tried a few things but nothing felt as true to the story as the version you can hear on the album. I still find it quite difficult to listen to. It’s about knowing you’ll never be able to be the version of yourself that someone who otherwise would have been perfect, deserves a right person, wrong time kind of song."
