Fresh from been announced as part of Saturday’s line up of Wireless Festival, alongside Jay Z, Emeli Sande, Kendrick Lamar and Miguel– Joel Compass returns with a new track, amassing huge praise and comparison to The Weeknd.
Premiered by Zane Lowe as his Hottest Record earlier this week – the adult-appropriate nature of ‘Fu*ked Up’, bring to mind 50 Shades of Joel than anything else. The track tells the story of a one night stand with a mystery woman. The 19-year-old newcomer has come on in leaps and bounds in very short space of time.
But whilst he lets the songs do the talking – Joel is not just a vocalist and songwriter, but also a producer. “I’m just as ambitious about producing as I am singing. I want to work with all sorts of artists and I want people to come to me for my sound,” he says.
‘Fu*ked Up’ is taken from Joel’s hotly anticipated forthcoming EP ‘Astronaut’.
