Josh is one of those talents that you hear about only once they have broken; and the story of their rise is lost to lore. In special circumstances you catch on to them as they rise, this is one of those cases. Josh fuses soulful song writing with his instrumental futuristic production that leverages live instrumentation ranging from the Harp, Piano, Bass, Trumpet and more. His production and vocal expression has been compared to Justin Timberlake, The Weeknd, and James Blake by many publications; however, we feel that someday not too far in the future people will be comparing their rising stars to Josh Jacobson and his diverse range of Falsetto and emotionally charged lyrical writing.
This Single “Polaroids” the debut record from Josh's debut EP dubbed “First Light” (Scheduled to be released in full this year) is an emotional roller-coaster diving into real life situations and emotions that most of us feel on a regular basis. Josh stated in an exclusive interview with Nest HQ that “‘Polaroids’ is a song about memories that fade into the distance, leaving behind colors and a sense of nostalgia for our most fleeting moments.” If you are a fan of The XX, or think Jamie XX's beautiful music is made by the heavens and dropped down to earth as a gift from God, then Josh Jacobson is your next angel peering down at you from the heavenly gates of Valhalla.
