Rock, Folk, World, Acoustic, Folk Rock.

In 2025, he turns the page on the next chapter of his career and life with his tenth full-length LP and first independent album since 2017, One Day Home. Joshua devoted more time to this body of work than any other release in his catalog. Immersing himself in the process mind, body, and soul, he poured over these 13 tracks, tinkering and perfecting each moment. Sessions often stretched from the evening into the early morning as he emphasized the purity of the acoustic instrumentation on these recordings. He notably co-produced six songs alongside Wally Gagel, while Jonathan Wilson helmed the remaining seven tunes. This time around, he prepared the music for a double-LP release with one half original studio versions of the 13 songs and the other piano vocal versions.

“I’ve been writing and recording songs for twenty years,” he reflects. “I continue to suffer from ‘Impostor Syndrome’, perhaps because I began this musical journey so much later in life than my peers. I always think this feeling will fade away, but it never does. I want to put music into the world that is implicitly ME, so here is One Day Home.”

Reflecting both his natural impulses and personal sonic palette, he nodded to formative inspirations from Motown soul singers and Laurel Canyon-era singer-songwriters. As such, One Day Home strikes an uncanny balance between two seemingly disparate styles in pursuit of a common theme. “I really tried to combine those two genres,” he goes on. “This album is about love and loss. It’s the journey of a romantic relationship—the ups and downs as well as the moments you chase, the moments you accidentally destroy, the memories of partnership which can sometimes feel stronger than the actual connection, the ecstasy of finding a likeminded soul, and the devastation upon losing them. It’s about finding out what the word 'Home’' actually means.”

He introduces this season with the single “Let Me Be Right”—released in its original studio version and as a piano-vocal version for a digital two-pack. A delicate piano melody underscores emotionally charged vocals punctuated by his passionate sense of soul. He grapples with the search for love as he pleads on the chorus, “Let me be right, let this go on and on before this moment’s gone.”

“Sometimes, I feel like I’m running and running afraid to stop,” he admits. “After twenty years, I’m still terribly confused about this world, what people want from me, and what I’m able to give. I know this, ‘When I find the right person for me, I’ll be right’.” 

The piano echoes through soft strings on “You don’t Need Anyone.” Barely cracking a whisper, he assures, “You don’t need anyone to take care of you, but if you do, I still want to.” He continues, “I’ve had a few romantic relationships. I’ve loved, and I’ve lost. Most importantly, I’ve learned. As Lincoln said, ‘I walk slowly but never backwards.’ One thing I’ve realized about myself is that I’m just not able, no matter how hard I’ve tried, to be everything for someone.”

During the closer “Back To Forever,” gentle acoustic guitar murmurs beneath his soothing delivery, “I know that loving me is a never-ending story.” Then, there’s “I’m Coming Home.” The stark instrumentation boosts the robust vocal as he promises, “I’m coming home for my baby, now.”


No matter where the journey takes him, that’s exactly what he does. He leaves off, “A better version of me happens every year. Wiser for sure, but definitely more confused in general about what I truly want out of life. I stay curious, questioning everything and everyone, and this is how art gets made.”
