I know you're hurting, everyone is hurting, everyone is trying, you have got to try

Description

Joshua Idehen takes us into his world: between spoken word and solar groove.After nearly twenty years at the heart of the London poetry scene, Joshua Idehen unveils I Know You're Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try, an album where spoken word and club music intertwine with rare intensity. Co-produced with his creative partner Ludvig Parment (aka Saturday, Monday), the record transforms the intimate into a collective impulse, blending electronic beats, enveloping choirs, and poetry. Nourished by the experiences of fatherhood, reconstruction, and connection to others, the album explores pain, joy, and hope without ever yielding to pathos. Carried by the momentum of the success of "Mum Does The Washing" and growing stage recognition, this new album marks a decisive turning point for Idehen: a deeply human, danceable, and unifying work that affirms his unique place on the music scene.
