Joshua. orchestrated the ultimate Lynchian love song with ‘WALK BY LOVE’

Mike Patton walked so the ethereally scintillating alt-folk artist Joshua. could ‘WALK BY LOVE’ in his latest music video.

Only an artist as iconic as he could get away with a mononym *and* allowing haunting tones to creep out of a ukulele in the production that wouldn’t be out of place in the Eraserhead soundtrack. He could never be accused of writing ‘just another love song’.

The disconcertingly cinematic single allows his sonically ephemeral vocals to drift atop the minimalist instrumentals that envelop you in their wistfully nostalgic sepia tones. In the space of just two minutes, the originator made an ever-lasting impression that definitively proves everyone’s interpretation of love is as individualistic as they are.

The official music video for WALK BY LOVE is now available to stream on YouTube.

Excellent Bury multi-skilled human wizard Joshua might have dropped one of the most electric tracks ever on Jane Doe

After wrestling the evil ghosts that lurked on the battlefield in May 2022 with the eerie classic Throne, Joshua is in supreme form with another exceptional track to magnify your conscious with Jane Doe.

Joshua is aka Joshua Ross is an unparalleled Bury, UK-based indie Gospel singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who stays away from the temptations of social media.

”For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.” ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:2 (CSB)

Spreading the love of God and always keeping things admirably organic, Joshua wields his creative muscles to the absolute maximum and gouges a massive hole to inside our lives. With vocals that seem to echo through the window as you wonder where that lost soul went to, in this darkly lit world which has so many treacherous alleys to get disoriented inside.

Jane Doe from Bury, UK-based indie Gospel singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua shall surely sizzle your senses and satisfy all those I-need-to-hear-a-proper track right now mentality. With so much watered down into tasteless ear-hurters, this is a welcome slap to the face. In a good way, of course. This feels soul-healing. Thank you Joshua.

Hear this incredible single on YouTube.

Joshua isn’t afraid of taking on the evil ghosts as he knows that the ‘Throne’ is near

Posted on 31 May 2022

Showing such courage when there is so much selfishness brewing all over the world and contaminating the innocent seas, Joshua shows us what true fearlessness sounds like with his excellent single, ‘Throne‘.

Joshua Ross aka Joshua is a Bury, UK-based indie Gospel singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who stays away from the temptations of social media.

”The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.” ~ Psalms 103:19 (KJV)

Displaying a mental fortitude to overcome all devil mentalities with his fiercely loyal attitude and skills behind the mic, Joshua slays all challenges despite the odds that are stacked against him. He knows that one day his number will be called but good times will be waiting, as he has a throne that is ready for him when that moment arises.

”He lives organically as possible and just wants to spread the love of GOD to the entire universe.” ~ Joshua

‘Throne‘ from Bury, UK-based indie Gospel singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Joshua is one of those singles that takes you by surprise and has you listening over and over again. This song is short but significant as it’s not the size that is important, it’s the message that is vital.

Sung with a powerful tone that is completely emphatic at the precise time when we really needed some leadership, this is a faith-filled voice to really feel enlightened by.

Joshua slides in with deep pop house tingled ”Unorthodox”

Posted on 8 July 2020

”Unorthodox is about embracing the unique qualities within yourself. I’ve never fit in a ‘box’ and have no ambition to. I have accepted that I may never be understood and that’s okay with me.”- Joshua

Indie singer-songwriter Joshua describes his music as ‘out there’ and ‘unpredictable’ with the overall message of always staying inclusive to all. The mix between sad lyrics and upbeat music shows Joshua’s formula of making the best out of a bad situation. This is escape music for our souls and the beat is always fresh.

”Unorthodox” from Joshua is a lovely song and it showcases a very strong vocalist and man in general. He has had a tough time with people questioning him and this is a statement. This is a fiercely indie artist going down his own road and he loves every moment. With a fantastic voice and meaningful lyrics, Joshua is a real gem in the music scene and should be applauded for never backing down.

Joshua serves up gratuitous heaps of socially conscious folk with new release ‘Greed’

Posted on 12 May 2020

God-led folk singer and songwriter Joshua has released new track ‘Greed’. 

There’s nothing to be announced but praise for this track, with ‘Greed’ gluttonously inspired by unwavering amounts of faith skillfully embroidered in Joshua’s poetic, biblical musings. It’s a believable track, with enough meta and self-awareness for the message to be contextualised properly by each listener – and perhaps in that way more powerfully personalised. 

For fans of Christian-heavy folk with tightly woven powerful, socially conscious messages imbued in each lyrical regrain, you should check not only new release ‘Greed’ – but the rest of this soulful singer’s back catalog. 

You can listen to ‘Greed’ over on Joshua’s Soundcloud account.
