Absolutely digging the new debut album by Josiah Wise (“serpentwithfeet”), soil. It’s a beautiful record packed with songs about love, filtered through the artist’s upbringing as a black choirboy in church as well as his gay identity.
His music is tender and filled with awe, and the sounds—which can be described as a fusion between R&B and gospel—are overlaid with Wise’s gorgeous, fluttering vocals.
soil was released two days ago, but it’s already becoming a new favorite of mine. Some standout tracks on the album include “whisper,” “wrong tree,” and “bless ur heart.” At times, the album feels theatrical even! Overall, it’s an excellent debut album crafted with powerful self-expression that demands the listener’s focus.
