Josef Salvat - 'Promiscuity'
Cheeky chap rockstar Josef Salvat brings us groovy rhythms in his latest sensual hit ‘Promiscuity’ which comes from his upcoming album Islands which is due for release next month.
Josef emerged into the international music scene back in 2014 and since then he has had many successes such as selling out shows, collaborating with a range of artists as well as receiving Gold for his first album Night Swim. During 2020’s lockdown Josef also released an intimate EP called The Close/Le Reveil.
Islands is Josef’s third album which follows on from his debut album Night Swim and his 2019 album Modern Anxiety which further developed his ability to channel his emotions into his sound, style and words. After leaving a major label Josef is now able to create mature, confident songs independently without any control over his decisions which will help him become the artist he has always wanted to become and Islands is an album that can showcase this.
