Joesef, Scotland On Sunday, 10 March 2019

Published in Scotland On Sunday, 10 March 2019 | Words by Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss. See Scotsman.com in association with AIM (Association of Independent Music) JOESEF Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday 10 March 2019:When we received a press release declaring “for fans of Amy Winehouse and Lauren Hill”  which then went on to cite The Cure and the Spice Girls, our interest was definitely piqued, not least because it was about a young Glasgow Eastender. As befits such an intriguing list of influences, we were not disappointed and after our first listen to Joesef’s debut track, Limbo, we were already hooked.Combining a soulful vocal duetting with a light drumbeat while a reverb-laden guitar takes the track into an otherworldly, dreamy direction it is no surprise that he is already attracting attention at Radio 1. Incredibly, Joesef had yet to have any music online when he recently sold out King Tut’s, a feat last achieved by Lewis Capaldi. We suggest getting along to The Tunnels in Aberdeen (16 May) or The Mash House in Edinburgh the following night. His next shows are likely to be in much bigger venues.For more information visit https://www.facebook.com/joesefjoesefjoesef  listen at www.soundcloud.com/joesefjoesefjoesef Olaf Furniss and Derick Mackinnon run the music industry seminar and social night Born To Be Wide.
