I love discovering new artists with something unique to offer; I was just introduced to Josiah Mekhi, and I wish I had known about him earlier. He stands out as one of my most exciting discoveries this year. Emerging swiftly from the vibrant scene of Seattle, Washington, he has quickly captured the hearts of music fans with his palpable authenticity, charisma, and integrity. With over 10K Spotify monthly listeners, his growing catalog is a treasure trove of hit tracks, consistently earning impressive numbers—a testament to just how captivating his music is. His ability to convey vulnerability through his avant-garde musical ideas sets him apart, placing him on a creative tier of his own, giving other artists serious competition.
“CRINGE” is the sort of raw, unfiltered, and irresistibly infectious anthem that stays with its listener outside the track’s runtime. By the end of your listening experience, it will be apparent that you’ve just listened to something golden.
Capturing the essence of fleeting relationships and flings that often disrupt the peace of those involved, “CRINGE” opens with an upbeat, immediately infectious beat that features a discernable nostalgia thanks to its unmissable funk-soul sensibilities.
Riding the upbeat tempo with effortless cadence, Josiah breathes life into the track with his soulful, honeyed vocals, delivering the song with rich emotional appeal. His catchy lyrics and memorable hooks make this an unforgettable anthem that continues to ring in the mind even after it is no more.
The beauty of this track lies in its eclecticism; while rooted in R&B, it effortlessly ventures into pop, appealing to a wide audience with its broad musical reach.
Elevating the song further is its visually striking, impeccably directed music video, now available on YouTube. It is a music video that cleverly complements this track with scenes that don’t make it too obvious but still capture what the song is all about with symbolic flair.
“CRINGE” has so far garnered over 14K streams on Spotify alone, with the numbers expected to rise as more and more listeners get their hands on this undeniable anthem.
To be part of this sonic tour de force’s success, check out the link, stream it, add it to your playlist, and share it with a friend.
