Wesley Joseph shares atmospheric new offering ‘Pluto Baby’

Wesley Joseph has followed up the recent announcement of his long-awaited debut album ‘Forever Ends Someday’ (out on 10th April via Secretly Canadian) by dropping its latest single ‘Pluto Baby’ - an immersive, melodic number that balances hazy instrumental textures with a cooly confident vocal line.

It joins ‘If Time Could Talk’ and January’s Danny Brown collab ‘Peace Of Mind’ to be the third song lifted from the 13-track LP, and has been described by Wesley as “set in the blur of night, written from a younger and less sure perspective that’s questioning what’s real.” 

Explaining more about his vision for the single, the rapper-producer polymath has offered: “[‘Pluto Baby’] is the spiral between chasing highs, euphoria, lust and loneliness. Reaching for meaning in the wrong things and feeling somber underneath it all - a snapshot into a night that feels like it could be the last party on earth.

“We were recording in Hastings as a thunderstorm broke outside the studio and I wanted the track to carry that same energy.  Charged, restless, and alive. We followed that current until it became what it is now, a dark but euphoric storm you can move to.”
