 For polymath artist Wesley Joseph, writing a song is like shooting a film. He sees in terms of scenes and colours, lighting the proper mood, drawing the right emotional arc - far beyond just getting a catchy melody down on tape. Music and filmmaking are Joseph’s two great loves. Film came first - he started making DIY videos at age 12 to entertain himself and his friends growing up in a small UK community - but when he moved to London to study it, the energy he discovered in the city demanded to be captured in song, resulting in his 2021 debut, ‘ULTRAMARINE’, a distinctly cinematic collection of avant-R&B and soulful future-pop shot through with moments of surprising aggression and an intriguingly complex postmillennial aura.
 Since collaborating with the likes of Jorja Smith and Loyle Carner, he returns with ‘GLOW’, eight more songs of love, loss,
anxiety, and joy about coming of age at a time of unprecedented change. Showcasing his range across songwriting, performing, and production - not to mention his flawless transitions between singing and rapping, between character studies and raw emotional honesty - it’s a stunningly beautiful work that makes it clear Joseph’s on the path to becoming a world-changing talent.
 It’s usually hyperbole to call an artist as young and new as Joseph ‘visionary’, but it’s undeniable that he has a vision, one that transcends old ideas of genre and medium, one that seems to get bigger and richer every time he steps into a studio or behind a camera. ‘GLOW’ is one of the deepest and most satisfyingly cinematic listening experiences of the year, and Wesley Joseph is just getting started.
 Wesley Joseph features on Loyle Carner’s latest album and will be on tour with Loyle throughout 2023.
 Wesley will also play his biggest London show to date in 2023.
 Self-produced with collaborators including A.K. Paul, Dave Okumu, DEAN, Emil, Harvey Dweller, Leon Vynehall, Lexxx and Sam Beste.
 ‘GLOW’ is pressed on Coke Bottle Clear vinyl.
