Joey Alexander’s new album ‘Origin’ was featured as the second album on NPR’s May 20th edition of New Music Friday. Here’s what they had to say:
“He has always been phenomenal…” — Christina Lee for NPR Music
“…it’s a true coming of age for Joey. It’s such a mature sound…” — Christina Lee for NPR Music
“…what we’re hearing right now, ‘Remembering,’ there’s just such a sense of pensiveness about it that feels really different from the past albums that he’s put out. I feel like he’s really putting himself more and more into his sound.” — Christina Lee for NPR Music
“I think ’Summer Rising’ is going to be another one for playlists for the summer.” — Christina Lee for NPR Music
“I can’t believe this is his first record of all original material, because it is so beautifully conceived and so completely realized. As you say, if he wants the record to lift people, it really does take you to a wonderful place.” — Robin Hilton for NPR Music
