J.R. Carroll - Dark Cloud (2024) Hi-Res

JR Carroll may not be a household name just yet, but over the past few years, through the release of singles and EP’s that have resonated with his listeners to a great degree, he’s earned a fervent and rapidly growing fan base that has been waiting patiently for this day. And four and a half years after the release of his first single, the wait for a full project is finally over.

Carroll’s debut album hit streaming platforms today, and with his powerful vocals, thoughtful lyricism, and emotion-evoking song content on full display, it’s safe to say it was well worth the wait.

Named after his Oklahoma hometown of Oologah, which translates to “dark cloud” in Cherokee, Carroll’s debut record Dark Cloud is a cohesive collection of 10 deftly penned tracks with thought-provoking lyricism that weave seamlessly through stories of his experiences and relationships in Oklahoma and as an up and coming musician.
