Josh Wantie is back with his latest release ‘Lose Myself’ and keeps delivering the Pop hits with another brilliant release. Wantie had a great start to 2020 releasing his ‘Lifeline’ EP in late January and soon thereafter receiving a SAMA nomination for “Best Pop Album” for the release.
He’s regarded as one of SA’s finest Pop artists. He ended 2020 with the release of his biggest single to date teaming up with one of the UK’s top singer-songwriters, Conor Maynard, on the single ‘Never Let Me Go’.
The single received high rotation play across local radio and charted on some of the biggest radio stations reaching #1 on Algoa FM’s Top 30 and charting in the Top 5 on East Coast Radio’s Top 40, Jacaranda FM’s Top 20 charts, and 5FM’s Pop Top 10 chart.
Josh Wantie comments on ‘Lose Myself’
“Lockdowns were tough on most, but as a musician, life somewhat came to a standstill. Feeling caught between this weird place of having time on my hands to write but no inspiration from the outside world, I began feeling ‘lost’. ‘Lose Myself’ is that internal dialogue of feeling clueless and lost about my future as an artist in a struggling industry.”
“It’s a raw approach at sifting through my feelings during a challenging time. The track was written without lyrics and melody in early 2020 but the song only took shape towards the end of the year when things really began to stretch everyone thin. Hopefully, people can relate to the track about the very real struggle of being an artist in an ever-changing world.”
