10+ years to get this out! Covid has broken me. Eyes Only is what I see when I leave my house and look at the beautiful people everywhere. Depression is a tough one. It kept me in part from sharing parts of my soul purpose. No more, I feel better knowing I am sharing a significant offering to the world. First single is coming March 17th it is a radio edit meaning to get any play it was too long. The full length will come by 12.12.21 god willing with a full Album, and more singles will be released till then. I will need to sell at least 4,000 copies of this to break even or 250,000 spotify plays. Only a sliver of the reason it's taken so long it the state of how we artist are supported. It seemed impossible, and nothing ever seems ready enough to share or release. This damn year has knocked my spirit on it's ass. So I am coming out soul first. Weather it is good enough or not. We do hope you like it. Don't just buy one buy two, we live in a world where a billboard #1 artists still can't pay rent, where artists can't perform, and people may even be afraid to take their kids to a live concert. Where legends are evaporating before our eyes. Depression is serious, and the only thing serious enough to fix it for myself has been music, and it works so well. If it has worked for me maybe my art can help some one else, my ears are always so wide open, we need to listen to each other so much deeper, but we live in times where we see Eyes Only. I's Only. Each song each note is a prayer, and a recording is like the prayer how it lives in a book.
It's a gift, but yeah us artists we ask for something in return. .99 cents, if you can spare it, but I'd give you one for free if you can't please stream this share it, and hear it. Pre-Order on my site is the best way. https://arijoshua.com/home March 17th, Turn a page with me.
