I know you’re hurting, everyone is hurting, everyone is trying, you have got to try.

Joshua Idehen’s 2026 solo effort is a dense, cathartic exploration of collective struggle, its title serving as a central mantra. His signature spoken-word poetics navigate a fractured electronic landscape where glitchy, post-dubstep rhythms and industrial textures collide with moments of warm, analogue synth ambience. This sonic duality mirrors the album's core tension: the friction between pervasive modern anxiety and the defiant, necessary act of perseverance. The result is a challenging yet empathetic work that functions as both a stark social document and a personal, incantatory plea for resilience.
