Joe Ramsey

About the artist

After the success of his most recent single ‘Mornings’, Newcastle based indie folk artist Joe Ramsey returns with his new single ‘Overwhelmed’, a melancholic yet purposeful offering that cuts deep into the emotional reality of being a modern-day solo artist. ‘Overwhelmed’ questions the relentless cycle of social media and music industry expectations, the pressure to constantly release, post, and stay “visible” or risk being forgotten. With production from James Kenosha (Mosa Wild, Gavin James), the track unfolds with a lush, textured arrangement that builds gradually, echoing the growing mental weight the song portrays. Ramsey’s unmistakable vocal presence delivers brutally honest lyricism, with the haunting refrain “I’m missing out on me”. The result is a sound that recalls the likes of Ken Yates and Ben Howard, yet remains distinctly Joe Ramsey: authentic, raw, and quietly uplifting.
