JOSIAHDAVIS., the Pacific Northwest’s up-and-coming star, shows us that you are never too young to create timeless music. At only 15 years old, the alternative rap artist releases his latest single, “NOT FOR LONG.,” a buzz-sawing fusion of rap, pop, and EDM that sounds a gut-punch and melodious.
“NOT FOR LONG.” drags listeners into its windstorm of feeling, painting an exquisite portrait of love’s precariousness. The song’s propulsive drive is a beautiful balance to its raw and contemplative lyrics, hitting notes that embrace the peaks and valleys of relationships that feel personal and universal.
The chorus immediately emerges as the song’s heart, hitting with lines that pierce deep into the wounds of transitory love and fraying trust. JOSIAHDAVIS. pours every ounce of himself into every line, leaving his message resonating within all who have felt the pain of love fading away too soon.
What makes this track stand out is its genre-defying approach. With its infectious hooks and genre-bending production, it hits the sweet spot between alternative rap and electronic/pop music, offering something that feels both new and familiar. JOSIAHDAVIS. is unafraid to challenge conventions, and “NOT FOR LONG.” proves that he’s carving out some lane that’s all his own.
