Joshua J’s In My Phone is a deeply personal exploration of addiction, absence, and the lingering effects of a challenging upbringing. The track delves into the emotional complexities of his mother’s battle with drug addiction, reflecting his journey toward forgiveness and self-understanding. Lyrics like “In my phone again, I’m better off on my own again” encapsulate the loneliness and introspection at the heart of the song.
Despite its heavy themes though, the production provides an intriguing contrast, featuring an uplifting Afro-inspired groove that injects a bittersweet tone. Joshua’s vocal delivery, nicely manipulated, conveys raw emotion while the gospel-tinged backing vocals add a layer of spiritual depth, elevating the production. Listen below!
