Josephine Vander West (Oh Wonder) announces debut solo album, Find Joy
That Woman – AKA Josephine Vander West (Oh Wonder) – has announced details of her eagerly anticipated debut solo album, Find Joy, alongside the release of her new single "I Was Aching".
Following up from previous singles "Hymn For A Woman" and "Change", "I Was Aching" is the third track to be shared from Find Joy. It is shared alongside a video that features a completely live one-shot performance of the song arranged for ten women, including strings and vocals.
""I Was Aching" is a rumination on the threads of love and self-esteem (or lack thereof) that effortlessly weave their way through generations,” Josephine explains. “Without confronting they might result in tight knots of trauma and low self-worth, and a consequent ache to be loved and accepted - "teach me to repeat your pain, I'll sing it 'till I'm faded."
That Woman was borne out of her need to process certain experiences she had faced navigating the music industry and wider world as a woman and pull at the threads of what it means to be a woman. “I definitely give way less fucks after making this record,” she says. “It was so easy to write. Because it’s like I’ve been needing to write it for the best part of 15 years. And it’s just finally now that was the time to be able to address those things and make sense of them.”
Find Joy is set for release on 9 August via Highwater Recordings.
