Album Notes & Community Reviews

Josiah Wise's debut full-length is a breathtakingly dramatic, highly experimental collision of classical gospel, R&B, and dark electronic pop. Featuring his classically trained, operatic vocal range, the profoundly romantic record examines queer love, devotion, and bodily worship through incredibly lush, gothic-tinged production. It was universally praised as a fiercely unique, highly theatrical milestone in alternative R&B.
