British sensation Joshua Idehen drops a banger with his latest single “All You Can Do Is Try.” This track hooks you from the start, shifting effortlessly from chill verses to an electrifying, dance-inducing chorus. With a catchy dance beat, syncopated piano chords, and perfectly harmonized vocals, Idehen crafts a tune all about self-acceptance. The story behind the song is just as cool: “I found out on tour that I’d be performing to just two people. It sucked, but I was strangely calm. I texted my partner a photo with the words ‘all you can do is try,’ and she replied, ‘I promise it will be alright,’ and boom! The chorus wrote itself.”
Joshua Idehen, known for his Mercury Prize-nominated poetry, blends UK electronic, jazz, and soul vibes with his own spoken word flair. “All You Can Do Is Try” is a soul-pop masterpiece brimming with uplifting lyrics and infectious rhythms. The thumping drums and sharp piano chords create an upbeat anthem that’s impossible not to dance to.
Featuring powerhouse singer Sharlene Hector and the dynamic Social Singing Choir, this track brings a gospel punch that’s pure fire. Idehen reflects on friendships and personal battles, layering his introspective lyrics over soulful house beats. It’s a feel-good, hands-in-the-air jam that lifts your spirits and keeps you moving.
