Who Is Joshua Slone? And What Is All This Hype On His New Record?

If you listen to just one of the record on his "Thinking You Much" debut album, there is no denying Joshua Slone is the next breakout star.

But who is he?

Joshua Slone is an artist and songwriter from Salyersville, KY who just released his debut album “Thinking Too Much.” The album has already amassed millions of streams in just 24 hours. The records are all written by Joshua himself and produced by Gabe Wax, Jake Weinberg, and Benny Blanco.

Joshua opened for Zach Bryan at Michigan stadium, a record breaking concert that featured John Mayer and  Ryan Bingham. It is rare to get that opportunity from a legendary artist like Zach at such a green stage of your career. But Zach isn't the only one buying into Joshua Slone's craft.

Many notable artist and songwriter have shown their support to Joshua, including Noah Kahan, Bailey Zimmerman, Dasha, Conner Smith, Joe Jonas, and more.

So why does this work?

There is no denying the music is in another class. It is vulnerable, complex, relatable, specific, deep, and romantic all at the same time. Joshua has such a specific vocal delivery that you find yourself caught in every lyric and every line.

Joshua choose to surprise drop a 16 song project, giving his fans only 24 hours notice. In a time where everyone is focused on massive marketing campaigns, virility, on Tik Tok, and mass viewership in hopes of converting to a specific quantity of streams, Joshua chose to do the opposite. If this move teaches us anything about Josh, it is that he isn't trying to chase something he's not, and he is trying to be cool. He is just trying to tell the truth.

While we can expect this project is the first of many to come, it is quite an impressive introduction of Joshua Slone to the world.
