Joshua Radin, with the release of his deeply personal new single “Man Of The Year,” the singer-songwriter offers the first taste of his upcoming EP, though the world will tell me so, volume 2, out June 23rd via Nettwerk. Featuring his signature acoustic guitar and gentle vocals, “Man Of The Year” finds Radin exploring his personal struggles with intimacy and vulnerability.

He comments:

“I build walls around myself. Aalways terrified of being hurt, making myself too vulnerable, which is I’m sure why the music I write is the exact opposite – I try to create a world in which I want to live.”

He adds: “I wrote this song for someone who scares me. Actually, I write a lot of songs for the very few people in my life who scare me in some way, the ones who I feel could hurt me. I was thinking this might be a song that could find its way on to the radio, calling out to her through speakers, letting her know that I won’t run away from her anymore, that I’m ready to be the best version of myself.”

The follow-up to though the world will tell me so, volume 1, the breathtaking collection of songs featured on Radin’s upcoming EP, were inspired by his time on the road in 2022. Rather than wait for inspiration to strike, Radin seeks it out wherever possible. To that end, in the fall of 2022, he left his material existence in the rearview, grabbed a backpack, packed his guitar, picked up a pen and a pad, and sought new stories to tell.

Radin is currently in the midst of a European tour and has just announced a 27-date US tour, which will take him from coast-to-coast this fall. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit https://www.joshuaradin.com.
