Artist on the rise Joshua Bassett released his debut self titled EP on March 12th, Here’s our track-by-track review of his new project!
Track 1: “Sorry”
Starting off the EP with his strong piano playing, “Sorry” takes listeners into a story of a girl being played and ultimately being left by a boy. And the girl realizes she’s the best he’s ever gonna get and he’ll be sorry in the end. From the upbeat instrumental to the catchy and meaningful lyrics Bassett starts out his EP with a hit.
Track 2: “Do It All Again”
This next track takes listeners into a three minute story of loving someone and being nervous, but if given the chance you would do it all again without hesitation.
From the beautiful guitar instrumental to the heartfelt lyrics about love, this song is sure to get stuck in fans heads and hearts.
Track 3: “Lie Lie Lie”
This two minute track takes listeners into the story of someone who only thinks about themselves, and lies to everyone else. But to stay safe they put up an innocent act, so no one would think they were telling lies. This track talks about exposing, confronting and leaving that person in the past. With the catchy lyrics and the upbeat and fun instrumental, the song is easy to love.
Track 4: “Only A Matter Of Time”
This next song is a calmed down version of Lie Lie Lie, the song tells the story of reminding someone who’s lying to everyone that there’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out. The song includes straight to the point lyrics like “An eye for an eye, you'll go blind,” “When karma comes around, then you'll be drowning in regret,” and “Time to tell the world that you've been lying on my name.” This track is the perfect comeback song.
Track 5: “Telling Myself”
Using a more upbeat and edgy vibe, this next track talks about young love and how it’s all a guessing game in the end. This two minute track uses Bassett’s guitar talents, but adds on more of a techno sound that really shows off his musical abilities, and while doing all that it also creates the perfect dance song for fans to enjoy.
Track 6: “Heaven Is You”
Ending his EP off on a high note, Heaven Is You is a beautiful and down-to-earth love song. This three minute track takes listeners into the story of being so deep in love that you know you’ve found your everything, and in the next life you know that person will be your heaven. From the piano instrumental to the heartfelt lyrics, Bassett has created another perfect love song.
Overall, this debut EP is a masterpiece, from the beautiful vocals and instrumentals to the lyrics and storytelling, this EP has something for everyone to enjoy and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Joshua Bassett.
