Experiencing music at the fullest, Ivory Lake knows a thing or two about it. Going by the name Joshua Watts by day, the talented multi-instrumentalist and songwriter has slowly built a meaningful and nuanced solo outfit, in between touring efforts and global collaborations. ‘Reckless Enough To Be Free’ is the project’s latest effort, a hard look at what it takes to achieve one’s goal. How much are you willing to risk to get what you want?
That’s what Ivory Lake asks himself, and all of us. Wrapping his evocative storytelling into a charming power-pop livery, the Sheffield-born creative showcases his best form. Delving into poignant pianos, shiny electric guitars and all-out anthemic ballads, ‘Reckless Enough To Be Free’ is a deeply meaningful gem that will entice listeners worldwide.
Now based in Alicante, Spain, Ivory Lake expands on his uplifting nihilistic lyricism by wrapping it into a soothing sonic imprint – that is quite the triumph. Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Reckless Enough To Be Free’, he explains: “A song about not being reckless enough to go for the things you really want in life.”
