Track Of The Day 21/10 – Joseph Lawrence

'Tomorrow'

Joseph Lawrence is a remarkable vocalist. As a pure technician, he’s one of the best in the country – mellifluous, multi-faceted, his artistry leans on jazz while picking up tropes from vintage songwriting, all while pursuing very solitary goals.

A unique artist, his raw talent has blossomed in the past 12 months, taking him to incredible heights. An online following has exploded – more than a half million people are following his channels – while a partnership with RCA Records is bringing his music to a global audience.

Linking with Fryars and Dave Okumu – The Invisible, Jessie Ware, Lianne La Havas – he’s been building new material, sketching out fresh plans.

Set to play a sold out show at London’s intimate St Pancras Church on October 24th, Joseph Lawrence has just shared his new single ‘Tomorrow’ and it’s a riveting piece of music, something that truly stops you in your tracks.

From those high, keening notes to the whispered incantations, Joseph Lawrence is able to truly sell a song; each word counts, a message of pure emotion from the innermost reaches of his soul.

Tune in now.
