Josh Lovelace’s ‘SHELTERS’ Album Offers a Glimpse into His Personal Journey of Hope and Healing
“As I’ve gotten older, I don’t really believe all the things that I believed when I was young,” Lovelace says about his newest track. “But at the same time, I wish I had the confidence that I had when I was a kid. That miracles can and do exist.”
Josh Lovelace, keyboardist for the Grammy-nominated rock band NEEDTOBREATHE, is set to release his debut solo album SHELTERS on October 25, a poignant and deeply personal collection of 11 original tracks that explore themes of loss, self-doubt, and hope. The album’s lead single “Miracles” offers a glimpse into Lovelace’s inner world, where he grapples with the challenges of adulthood and the longing to recapture the trust and hope of his youth. The song’s accompanying video, premiered by Americana Highways, is a haunting and introspective reflection on the human experience, with Lovelace’s voice piercing through the haze like a beacon of hope.
SHELTERS is more than just an album – it’s a testament to Lovelace’s journey of self-discovery and healing. Written during the pandemic, the album became a therapeutic outlet for Lovelace’s struggles with anxiety, relationships, and uncertainty. Recorded in Roslyn, Washington, the album’s 11 tracks vacillate between darkness and light, with Lovelace finding solace in the people, places, and experiences that have become his “shelters” in times of turmoil. With SHELTERS, Lovelace invites listeners into his inner world, offering a powerful reminder that hope and healing can be found in the most unexpected places.
