Josh Savage - Spaces E.P review

Josh Savage - Space E.P

Josh Savage is an upcoming singer/songwriter who splits his time between the UK and France. He began his musical career at a young age in the National Children’s Choir of Great Britain travelling around New Zealand and Australia. His success with the choir led to him joining many other musical ensembles including musicals, local bands and eventually, starting up bands of his own. He played his first show at the young age of 17 at The Talking Heads in Southampton. In his University days in Yorkshire, he started up the band Taming the Savage which was regularly played on BBC Introducing. 

Now-a-days, Josh is preparing to release his latest E.P. ‘Spaces' in the UK and later in the year, ‘Quatre Epines’ in France. Savage is already gaining hype as the lead track off ‘Quatre Epines’ has already been played by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6Music.

When asked, Savage describes his music as ‘folk/rock’. He will be releasing the track ‘Your Lips’. This song starts as a slow, beautiful folk song with just Josh and his guitar, then half way through his classical influences shine through with the addition of violin. Another track off this E.P. is ‘Lost in Paris’ which was produced by Julian Simmons (credits to Ed Sheeran and Guillemots). This is another low tempo track that really shows off his voice and is accompanied by simply brilliant music. However, our favourite here at Just New Music which we would be rooting to see live, has to be ‘Horoscopes’. Can’t you just see the crowd bouncing along with the driving drum beat and shouting out 'Forget the skies…’ ? The penultimate track on this E.P. is ‘Mountains in Hurricanes’ which was featured as our track of the day in January. And finally, the E.P. finishes with a live version of ‘Your Lips’. 

‘Spaces’ which is being released April 7th is well worth getting. It’s an amazing introduction to an upcoming singer/songwriter and we can see this being a great summer soundtrack. Don’t forget to keep an eye on his:
