Brit School graduate and rising star Jos Rivers is bringing her witty humour and infectious, powerful personality to her debut EP ‘Thank You So Very Much‘.
In the weeks leading up to her debut EP release, the refreshing and bold singer teased fans with her upcoming tracks that are featured on her new EP, such as ‘He’s A Genius‘ and ‘Thank You So Very Much‘. Inside these two tracks, Jos delivers an unapologetic personality about her, singing about important lessons from finding red flag signs in relationships to becoming better from those who did you wrong. Jos Rivers has that confrontational swag and confidence about her, showing people that she isn’t afraid to speak up about toxic relationships and inspiring her listeners that you are stronger than heartbreaks that have done you wrong.
Alongside her infectious personality and the way Jos conveys herself, the way her style of singing is makes her music even more unique and captivating. With distinct and fiery vocals, Jos also makes her songs humorous and dramatic through the different voice tones she uses in her songs, from being witty to soaring; she has a way of putting on a particular accent to convey the messages about relationships and experiencing breakups.
While it is an EP describing experiences of breakups and powerfully singing stories filled with honesty about people who have treated her badly, her music remains upbeat and contains a cheerful R&B genre, which makes you feel optimistic, despite the theme of her EP being surrounded by red flags.
We could all do with a friend to give us tough love advice on getting rid of people who have done us wrong, and Jos Rivers is that confident friend we need.
‘My first EP, I would say, is almost like a very messy scrapbook of the past couple of years of my life. It’s centred around making mistakes, growing up in the modern world and slowly learning how to trust myself again. So pretty much me over-analysing, spiralling, not taking it too seriously and eventually finding my way back to who I am all at once. At its core, it’s just a really honest snapshot of a period of my life that has shaped me massively, and I wanted people to feel like they’d been let into my brain for half an hour rather than being presented with a ‘perfect’ version of me.’
