Joe P returns with his new single, “She Got Me,” an explosive, heart-on-sleeve anthem. It is the follow-up to the singer-songwriter’s 2023 LP, on which he channeled the all-too-common post-breakup feelings through songs.
As one of the most essential voices in modern indie rock, as evidenced by the intimate release of his debut album Garden State Vampire just last October, Joey P is just getting started. Armed with an artist’s grit and a producer’s finesse, he’s wrangled a dedicated fanbase, a cabal of listeners attracted to his homespun ethos, intimate backyard performances, and analytical studio dissections. “She Got Me” is another showcase for his gift of writing oversized and intimate songs.
“She Got Me” draws you in with its infectious energy, equal measures punchy guitars, soaring melodies, and lyrics that cut to the heart of the matter. “She Got Me” captures the push-and-pull of obsession, the dizzying, at times unsettling infatuation with a person who clings to you long after the record stops playing. Whispers of Joe’s indelible vocal delivery, straddling fragility and explosive catharsis, leave no choice but to feel him out for every word.
While Joe P. carves out his lane, “She Got Me” further proves he’s building a movement. Take this as your official invitation to crank it up loud and immerse yourself in the ride.
