Each Measure Feature: Don Josef

FEATURE

Meet Don Josef, an artist bred in the serene landscapes of Norway. This soulful singer-songwriter fuses R&B and blues together for a sound unlike any other. Boasting massive success with "Paris," he has effectively displayed his ability to tailor a passionate and strong sonic backdrop. Don Josef's music is expressive and straining with emotion, and all of it breezes through the barriers of good music. His unique storytelling style is unlikely to fade from our minds; the unveiling of his grand vision for modern music has only just begun.

Don Josef's new musical offering is “Villain." This song builds around the profound theme of being your worst enemy; an intricately crafted, delicately expressive, and emotive chorus is sung over melodic synths. In his passionate vocal delivery, one senses clear sadness and ardent reflection. Like its predecessor, “Villain” takes listeners through myriad layers of self-scrutiny. Don Josef considers the immeasurable power held by all of usᅳthe decision to be a "villain," a self-saboteur, or to fight this tendency and become the hero of your own story. The excitement in this keynote piece for what lies ahead really shows what is so diverse about Don Josef. The beat was made by GRIZD (Kristi Skendaj), Rich La Flame (Richard Kwiesi Asante) carried out the production task, and Cosmos Mastering Ab did the mastering. “Villain” constitutes an exciting taste of what Don Josef will serve up with his forthcoming EP to be dropped in 2024.
