Judging by the way ‘Wanderlust Highway’ introduces itself, we almost misunderstood it for a John Mayer record. It wasn’t long until Josh Jensen’s vocals entered the sonic picture, expanding the width and brightness of the whole piece. A groovy and eclectic single, ‘Wanderlust Highway’ sees Seattle-based songster Josh Jensen doing what he does best: crafting simple and relatable gems with a particularly uplifting outlook.
Bathing in soulful and jazzy territories, ‘Wanderlust Highway’ is as positive and fierce as one would expect it to be. Crowning it all, we find Jensen’s luscious and malleable vocal tone, extremely dynamic and present. Combined with Josh’s sense of melody and nuanced songwriting, the result is absolute bliss – and it’s pretty obvious.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the record, Jensen explains: “A passionate entreaty to give in to the yearning for exploration and adventure that is endemic to us all, wrapped in soulful riffs and warm organ tones.”
