JP Saxe - Articulate Excuses (2025) [Hi-Res]

Multi-platinum master storyteller JP Saxe has shared his EP Articulate Excuses, part one of a two-part album out now via Arista Records. Alongside the release, comes Saxe has shared his latest single I WANNA MOVE TO BROOKLYN.

Articulate Excuses pulls from a period in which Saxe worked to come to terms with his patterns and personhood thus far. JP explains: “Articulate Excuses is about 7 different things. It’s about hiding from myself, it’s about apologising for myself, it’s about relearning a masculine version of myself, it’s about nostalgia for the present, it’s about grief, it’s about re-finding the parts of myself I didn’t think I was allowed to be, and it’s about owning the parts of myself that I’m ashamed of.”

The two-part album traces the GRAMMY®-nominated singer-songwriter’s journey through a series of personal revelations. After writing and recording the album and feeling like there were two distinct themes to the songs, Saxe decided to present the album in two parts – he describes the decision as “90% for creative reasons and 10% because of the pragmatism of navigating people’s increasingly nonexistent attention spans. I love my music so much and even l have trouble listening to 14 in a row. So how could I expect someone else to?” Each part has a unique sonic and thematic identity that gives one message when listened to on its own or as a complete project.”
