Hot Mixtape Alert: Josh X – “Amour aka The Prelude – I Am Josh X”

Josh X, Stevie Wonder‘s latest protege’ currently has the #21 R&B song in the country on the Billboard charts with his smash single, “Heaven On My Mind” featuring Cardi B. Josh also collaborated and co-wrote the song, “Ready to Go” with multi-platinum super producer Swizz Beatz for Fox‘s hit show EMPIRE and PEPSI (a global tv commercial). He has also worked with the likes of Jadakiss and Lil’ Wayne, just to name a few.

“Amour aka The Prelude – I Am Josh X” is a prelude to Josh‘s upcoming debut album, “I Am Josh X” scheduled to be released this Summer. “Amour” features productions from some of today’s hottest producers including; Shaft, DJ Static, BHawk, Elrey and more. Highlights on “Amour” includes the songs, “Taking Me Back“, a song inspired by a personal relationship that was lost due to one’s selfishness, but in the end, he is claiming that no matter what, “she is taking him back again.” Another highlight is the Jagged Edge sampled, “I Don’t Wanna Hurt You“, where you realize that you have found “the one” and no matter what happens between you guys, she is all you have ever wanted, and hurting her is the last thing you would want to do. Then you have the club-banger “Promise” featuring Dro, where Josh blends R&B with Haiti‘s cultural sounds of Kompa. Josh also remade the classic “Stand By Me” in celebration of humanity during these trying times.

Josh is currently on a 15-city promotional tour in support of “Heaven On My Mind“, cities include; New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas, Nashville, Milwaukee, Houston, Detroit and Miami. Later this month Josh will embark on a Haiti national tour with Haiti‘s own, Sandro Martelly, son of Haiti‘s former President.
