Can a song be raw and swanky at the same time? Newcomer Joey Maxwell answers with a resounding yes on his winsome debut, ‘going thru changes’, an inviting and infectious track that showcases a dynamic blend of his raw indie vocals, funky brass melodies, and a hip-hop inspired, playful prancing beat. With it, the compelling new artist encapsulates the teenage angst we’ve all gone through. Joey Maxwell, who hails from South-East London, says of his debut single: “going thru changes is a self-deprecating homage to all the things that are out of my control. Written at a time when I was going through a lot of life changes, assimilating it to a failing relationship was more just a way to compress and satirise one of those times in life where everything sets you off into an existential crisis.” Maxwell’s heartfelt music explores the challenging path towards adulthood. ‘going thru changes’ is our first taste of the 21 year old prodigy’s forthcoming EP. It’s a huge entrance from a very much under-the-radar talent, but it won’t be long before ears perk and people take notice as Joey Maxwell prepares to establish himself as a prominent voice in the UK music scene and beyond.
