Coming out of Seattle’s music scene, singer-songwriter Josh Jensen is a soulful sonic storyteller inspired by the rich Pacific Northwest. Drawing influences from a diverse array of musicians, including Leon Bridges, Lianne La Havas, Billy Strings and Chris Stapleton, Josh crafts a distinctive sound that intertwines folk and pop with a touch of timeless elegance.
After a brief hiatus from the stage, Josh Jensen is ready to reconnect with live audiences, bringing his emotive melodies and meaningful lyrics to life once again. His exploration of the Pacific Northwest serves as both a muse and backdrop to his musical journey, creating an authentic and organic quality to his musical output.
With over a decade of sharing his sonic vision, Josh’s musical evolution has been marked by significant milestones. His debut album, Unravel The Wire, released in 2012, set the stage for a promising career. Returning last year with his sophomore record, Moon Time, he affirmed his commitment to storytelling through music.
This year he’s dropped two new singles, first with “Windbreaks & Waves” and now he brings us his latest release with the new single titled “Across the Sky.” Serving up a folk pop sound, “Across the Sky” beautifully distils Josh Jensen’s delicate songwriting and elegant vocal style into a catchy sound brought to life by previous collaborator producer Luke Rain at his studio in Seattle.
Opened by the intricate flutter of acoustic guitar plucks, Josh’s rich vocal leads glide in to thread soothing melodies and heartfelt lyricism. With the kick of drums, the song injects a laid back rhythm as smooth bass lines underpin the flutter of guitar tones, resulting in a charming and timeless sound.
Born out of a difficult year that’s seen Josh’s wife suffer from illness and go through a long medication and recovery period, “Across the Sky” captures themes of the lasting love that endures in the face of adversity. The sincerity in his lyricism and the fusion of folk and pop elements create an immersive experience, allowing audiences to connect with the artist on a profound level.
