Josephine has released a new EP titled ‘Lost‘? The EP consists of six tracks with a total run time of 15 minutes. It takes listeners on a 15-minute journey of mellow, dreamy production, exploring an intimate journey of love, growth, and meaningful relationships amidst struggle. This EP is all about the songs, no gimmicks. The fact that the artist can still take the time to immerse themselves in art and writing in a digitally distracting world is truly amazing.
The EP narrates the journey of finding love, starting from being a lonely LA transplant to dreaming of a future with her partner in the south of France. In the song “Parking Tickets,” Josephine struggles with self-love, while “Time or Whatever” explores the fleeting and transactional nature of meeting people in the era of dating apps – “lost?” serves as a reminder that emotional experiences often lead to insights, something that resonates with us all on a personal level.
“This EP is a collage of diary entries from my first year living in LA. Getting lost in a sea of parking tickets, losing track of old friends, then getting lost in new loves and daydreams about the future. It’s about feeling lost until those moments when I realize I can just turn the gps off.. and then I’m just here.” – Josephine
