'Loneliest Place in the World' closes out Frank Joshua's debut album 'Sense Life' with ethereal elegance.  Beautiful piano and the usual top notch production make this a wonderful come down anthem to contemplate the nature of loneliness to.

Loneliest Place In The World By Frank Joshua

Tony White of Whitelight has really gone deep into his House Music roots for this one and who can argue it doesn't totally bounce!

The Greed and the Hunger (Whitelight Remix) is the 14th release by Frank Joshua and the 3rd remix off his debut album, 'Sense Life'.  

This artist is really on a role with a second album already in the studio.

What Price A Smile

Frank’s second album brings together a couple of new tracks with the best of the remixes from his debut album ‘Sense Life’.  From the upbeat remix of ‘Rain’ to the Dream Pop of ‘What Price a Smile’, the album holds the attention and keeps you guessing in the manner we’ve come to expect from Frank.  There can’t be many new artists who can stretch themselves across such a range of genres so effortlessly.  Look out for tracks from his third album soon.

Talk Of Things

Torture

Panic in the Kitchen (Whitelight Retake)

Free (Jon Kennedy Remix)

Hints or Arabic rhythms mixed with traditional singer-songwriter, introduce Frank’s first single from his coming 3rd album and his 22nd release in just over 2 years.  Again we see his trademark top notch production, warm vocals and insightful lyrics making their mark. Frank’s main strength is surely his song-writing, which underpins the whole project and catches the attention of reviewers. 
“one of the best singer-songwriters today.” 
“A timeless universe of melodic pop" 
“as eclectic as it is ecstatic” 

The lyric delves into the gap between first blush and commitment in a new romance.  The fear and hope that collides within us as we tentatively explore someone else's feelings and compare them to our own. The unease of new love in a world where 'catching feelings' is seen as a bad thing.

Bluebell Wood

Millionaire is a song about finding love in adversity, under the harsh light of disapproval and condemnation.  Sensual and provoking, Frank’s exploration of the forbidden, and the release from constraint, plays out against a beautiful, delicate soundscape of retro drum patterns and smooth orchestration.  Haven’t you ever desired something you shouldn’t have?

Frank's 24th release since Dec 2020, 'You Are All I Need' smashes House Music into Indie-Pop/Singer-Songwriter and never apologies.  Recently described as "Mysterious & prolific", Frank notches up the intrigue each time.  Smoothly skating between genres and moods, is it Dream Pop, Indie Pop, plain old Pop?  “Passion with eloquent lyrics and Frank’s trademark soft haunting vocals”; “always going out of his comfort zone”.  Shades of Ian Broudie & Richard Hawley when the electro twins came to tea.

You Are All I Need

This is Mr Joshua’s 25th release since Dec 2022 and again he takes an unexpected turn.  Grooves that could have come out of the 1970s flow under yet another lyrical song tapestry, that takes you places in your head to chill and reflect.  In case it’s not obvious, the title refers to the famous London taxicab, in a song about fear and love and finding solace in something you know probably isn’t good for you.  The 4th track of Frank coming 3rd album, Patent Leather Car takes a gentle trip around the dance floor with wistful abandon.

Aching and edgy, ‘Wonderful You’ throws shade at the heart as it slowly breaks. Frank Joshua’s traditional Dream Pop sensibilities are still present, and the skiffle backbeat still moves us along beautifully.  But this is pain.  Smarting, tender, pain.  When the crack of the permafrost signals the start of the middle eight, we all know that emptiness.  And Joshua seems to know what he’s doing as he thrusts his ice pick deep into the wound.  His 26th release, since Dec 2020, Frank maintains the quality we’ve come to expect from this “remarkable London-based singer-songwriter.”

Wonderful You

Listen to the guys chatting about the time I went to see them to chew the fat.  Interesting to hear their take on my takes.
