Joesef has continued to unveil his upcoming debut album, ‘Permanent Damage’, with the new single, ‘Just Come Home With Me Tonight’.
It is his fourth track of the year, following ‘It’s Been a Little Heavy Lately’, ‘East End Coast’, and ‘Joe’, which will all be included on the LP. The full record will be released in full on January 13th via AWAL.
Co-produced alongside Barney Lister (Obongjayar, Joy Crookes, Celeste), the Scottish soul-pop artist initially recorded the vocals for the entire record in his Glasgow bedroom, choosing to maintain some of the vulnerable demo sounds in the heartbroken project. ‘Just Come Home With Me Tonight’ also arrives with a Luis Hindman-directed music video.
“I wrote this song before I even knew I was going to make an album,” Joesef shares. “I’ve kept it quite close until now and it’s definitely one of my favourite songs I’ve made. It’s about meeting my ex at a party and realising they’d moved on. The change between us was so palpable and that little light in his eyes that he carried for me wasn’t there anymore.
“The song uses the demo vocal take I recorded in my bedroom in Glasgow. We tried recreating it but there’s sometimes an inimitable magic within a demo that can’t be touched. It’s strange hearing my voice back in this way, not being in that headspace anymore. I wish I could tell that version of myself that I’ll be alright soon.”
