Josh Rouse - I Will Live On Islands

Review by Kitty Stryker

Josh Rouse's album, I Will Live On Islands, is a captivating and introspective work that showcases his skills as a songwriter and musician. The album is a departure from Rouse's previous releases, with a more stripped-down and raw sound that highlights his voice and guitar playing.

The opening track, "Movin' On," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its catchy melody and introspective lyrics. Rouse's vocals are particularly impressive on this track, conveying a sense of longing and restlessness that is echoed throughout the album.

Other standout tracks include "New Young," which has a dreamy, ethereal quality, and "It's the Nighttime," which features a hauntingly beautiful melody and some of Rouse's best lyrics. The album closes with "The Ocean," a mellow, reflective track that leaves the listener with a sense of peace and contentment.
