WESLEY JOSEPH - Forever Ends Someday

Unguarded, wholly realised and entirely his own – Wesley Joseph’s
long-awaited debut album sees the singer, songwriter, producer and
director at his most confidently vulnerable, expressing the many
layers of his creative life journey.
The result is 'Forever Ends Someday': 13 tracks of self-examination
cut with expansive escapism. On the Danny Brown feature “Peace of
Mind”, meanwhile, Joseph blasts through his anxieties and delivers a
bass-rattling anthem with confidence and reassurance, “July” finds
Joseph collaborate with Jorja Smith as the pair perform a rejoiceful
callback, recorded in their hometown of Walsall, reminiscing on how
far they’ve come, as well as all they have lost.
Three years in the making, Joseph took time away from the spotlight
to find his story, choosing to pursue the honesty of his art rather
than capitalising on career momentum - with highlights including a
sold-out headline date at London’s KOKO and a sold-out North
American tour. “I just treated the record like a vessel, throwing
things into it from my life all the time,” he says.
The title Forever Ends Someday refers to the fleeting beauty of the
present moment – “the idea that when you’re young things will last
forever but then you grow up to realise youth is borrowed,” Joseph
explains – the album’s tracks depict an honest reflection of human
experience through both the light and dark.
Recorded between London, Walsall, Los Angeles and “halfway up a
mountain in Switzerland,” Joseph enlisted a core team of
collaborators and co-producers to execute his vision over the three
years of writing. He worked closely with composer Nicholas Jaar (The
Weeknd, FKA Twigs), who lent his soundscaping sensibility to several
tracks, producer Harvey Dweller (Loyle Carner, Joy Crookes), Mercury
Prize-nominated Tev’n (Rina Sawayama, SBTRKT), A. K. Paul (Nao,
Fabiana Palladino), Al Shux (JAY Z, Kendrick Lamar, SZA), Ryan
Raines (Paul McCartney, Dominic Fike) and producer Romil
Hemnani (Brockhampton).
From Walsall to the world, 'Forever Ends Someday' shows that
Joseph’s legacy has only just begun
