Josh Savage is an artist on the verge of stardom. That much is immediately clear from hearing the slick and sensitive production alongside his own eloquent and expressive performance on ‘Young Fools’. The Berlin based artful pop rock artist doesn’t sacrifice infectiousness for obscurity, somehow finding a way to maintain being tastefully unique while also being commercially delicious at the same time. There’s a richness to Another Life, a sort of fulfilling completeness that resonates on every track. It feels like a polished record, but one that still has the voice and breakout energy of a star pining for stardom. None of it is more clearer than on Young Fools itself, a single that immediately has you addicted and eager for more.
Of course, Savage is far from a newcomer onto the scene. The British indie songwriter has already accumulated legions of fans, and has toured extensively across the United Kingdom and Europe. Josh is known for playing over 700 shows across 4 continents and holding the record for most Sofar Sounds gigs worldwide at 100! He’s accumulated over 7m Spotify streams, achieved domestic and international radio play, toured all over Germany with Kodaline and also supported the likes of Jack Savoretti, Reverend & the Makers, Roll Deep and Catfish & The Bottlemen, plus official showcases at SXSW, Texas, Canadian Music Week and the Alternative Escape, Brighton.
With a sound that sounds like a unique confluence between the more subtle and soft singer-songwriter energy of a Ben Howard with the more sumptuous opulence of a Capital Cities, Another Life bridges these two worlds beautifully. It’s melodic, heart-warming, heart aching, and deeply touching.
