Joey Joesph - Nite Vibes (2023) Hi Res

“[Joey’s music is] what God would play for Prince as he walked through Heaven’s gate.” -Cincinnati CityBeat

"[Joey] has tapped into big-synths and epic, galaxy-sized anthems, and his Milky-Way thin voice easily cuts through kaleidoscopic arpeggios and acres of synthesizers that measure 11 out of 10 on the Moroder-scale." -Joyzine

"A weekend party album that defies Earth’s gravity." -Big Takeover

Joey Joesph’s sixth full-length LP in five years is darker than its predecessors. Nite Vibes began with a handful of disco-inspired vignettes conceived in down time during serving shifts in back rooms of restaurants. But its full form wasn’t realized until the song “Believe in the Moonlight” was written and recorded at Sabbath Recording in Cincinnati with Jacob Merritt and Matt Latchaw, who co-produced and performed drums/percussion, and engineered the LP respectively. While writing the lyrics in the control room, “I’m no righteous man in holy robes … thinking of the child star,” the shape of the album finally became clear to Joey. This would be an origin story for his extra-dimensional, pop star alter-ego.
