Joshua Idehen | I Know You’re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting,

Lately, it feels like the world is one endless bad news cycle. Joshua Idehen isn\u2019t here to pretend otherwise \u2013 but on the spoken word artist\u2019s new album, I Know You\u2019re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try, he provides a phenomenal sonic, poetic space. Made with his creative partner, musician Ludvig Parment, the album is an urgent but transcendent collection that holds you through it all, filled with grief, euphoria and hope. I Know You\u2019re Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try comes after the virality of Idehen\u2019s track Mum Does The Washing, a wry and whipsmart poem examining how the world works (which started life as a Twitter thread), set to Parment\u2019s spacious beats. The song has seen the pair propelled beyond Idehen\u2019s wildest dreams this past year, with support from the likes of Jamz Supernova and Huw Stephens leading to sold-out shows and packed out festival performances includi.
