Joseph Morris has found a way to connect with each of us through his new song "Built A Little Different," which celebrates and encourages each person for their own unique and different personalities. The universal theme of fitting in allows us to connect to Joseph Morris and his lyrics. Basic human nature guarantees that at some point in our lives, we'll feel discouraged and frustrated with our personality and who we are, and that's okay. One of my favorite lines says, "Sit back, this one's personal / There's no need to face life on your own / I've been in similar places too so, thing's will turn out fine down the road." Right away, we're met with unwavering support, no matter where we are at when we listen to the song. Overall, we get to feel unconditional love for who we are. There's a line towards the end of the song that sums this up so perfectly when it says, "Now's the time to love yourself / You're incredible, recognize your worth is built a little different. / We're built a little different." By making this experience both universal and personal, it helps bring us back to the reality that, at the end of the day, we're humans. We're trying to do our best to navigate life.
Right away, the tone of the song is confident and assertive. The artist takes pride in his lyrics and the overall theme and meaning of the song, but it's not overrun by pride and the song is never boastful. Instead, it's reflective of the artist's personal experiences and sensitive to the experiences that the listener may be going through. The overall mood of the song is inspiring and uplifting. We experience this through the beat of the music, which is made up of many different elements. Some of those elements are electric guitars, drums, and synthesizers. The music complements the message of the lyrics through its pacing and energy which remains consistent for a large portion of the song. The way the song builds adds another level of depth to the lyrics, making them even more powerful, and the choice of instruments used within the song help heighten the emotional impact of the lyrics as well.
Joseph Morris is a recording artist based in the United Kingdom. When writing songs he writes them from the heart, drawing from real life experiences. He's performed alongside X Factor winner James Arthur as well as Boyzlife, So Solid Crew, and Blue. Joseph Morris received his first radio play back in 2018 with his second single "I Deserve Better" on BBC Introducing. This motivated Joseph Morris to release more music which, then, led him to be BBC Introducing's artist of the week for Hereford & Worcester back in 2021. If you listen to music by artists like Lewis Capaldi, Paolo Nutini, Ed Sheeran, or James Arthur, then I highly recommend giving Joseph Morris a listen.
