The track opens with a dreamy ambience that immediately pulls you into its enchanting world. As the song kicks off, listeners are immersed in catchy alt-pop beats, sweet vocals, and storytelling lyricism that paints vivid pictures in your mind.
Canadian alt-pop artist, TYA, showcases their incredible talent for crafting powerhouse vocals and heartfelt, image-laden lyrics in this comeback single. “Josephine” is a gender euphoric and queer anthem that comes straight from TYA’s queer little heart. It perfectly captures that moment of euphoria when you lay eyes on someone and suddenly your entire life with them flashes before your eyes.
What sets TYA apart as an artist is their ability to weave compelling narratives into their music. “Josephine” skilfully references the 1959 classic film, “Some Like It Hot,” adding an extra layer of artistry to the song. It’s evident that TYA has a knack for storytelling and creating a narrative arc that draws listeners in and keeps them hooked.
TYA’s passion for entertainment runs deep, and it’s no surprise given their upbringing. Born in Las Vegas, Nevada, to two theatre artist parents, TYA has always been destined for the spotlight. Growing up on the road touring with her parents, TYA was exposed to the magic of the stage from a young age. Their natural talent for singing and songwriting blossomed early, with TYA writing poems to sing along to the rhythmic percussion of their father’s tap dancing.
“Josephine” marks TYA’s pop music debut, and it’s clear that this is just the beginning of an exciting journey for the artist. With more music, videos, and live shows on the horizon in 2023, we can expect to see TYA’s star continue to rise.
