Virginia-based rock artist JUST LOUD today released his self-titled debut album Just Loud across digital music platforms via Better Noise Music. The album is chock full of powerful, emotional statements, with songs like new single “Heaven,” produced by David Katz (All Time Low, Katy Perry, Mandy Moore) and Patrick Nissley (YUNGBLUD), “Jackie Chan” and “Ghost.” JUST LOUD, who previously collaborated with Debbie Harry of Blondie on “Soul Train,” worked on “Heaven” with Katz and Nissley to create the upbeat anthemic track.

Just Loud sees the artist imagine himself as different characters exorcising their demons.

About JUST LOUD

In 2015, the artist currently known as JUST LOUD underwent a sonic baptism. Though timid, eager to please, and a perfectionist by nature, the artist’s alter ego, JUST LOUD, unabashedly “does not give a fuck.” And he has the outsize voice to prove it. Like Freddie Mercury, Chris Cornell, and Prince before him, JUST LOUD is squarely rock in spirit, yet genre-transcendent in evocative vocal abilities.

Each of his debut offerings are, in kind, powerful emotional statements. The riled-up anthem “Jackie Chan” is a contact-high of erupting emotions, and the funked-out “Soul Train,” a hit of seductive bravado. In contrast, the sublimely levitating “Ghost” is actually an unnerving imagining of an accidental-overdose afterlife, while his fractured-falsetto cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” just kicks you in the gut. “It was probably one of the hardest songs for me to get through, because it applies so much to my life,” he says of the latter. “I didn’t grow up with that nurturing love. I identify with that song.”

Those demons dig deep, his music a pure expression of what’s been percolating inside him. The gutting “Angels & Demons” is an indie-rock gospel confronting rejection (“I have fallen/Kicked from heaven/Goodbye/My only sin was to watch you”).“I have a big heart that people have used to their advantage. And I’m stuck with the broken pieces,” he says. “From a biblical standpoint, Lucifer got kicked out of heaven, because he had questions. I feel like it’s the same situation with me.”

Its companion tracks are “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a lilting cut with a sticky hook about making bad decisions, and “Masterpiece,” a look back about when he started making good ones. A melodic spoken-word piece set against a reggae beat, it’s artistic repentance for all the pre-Just Loud years, when he stayed quiet as outside forces deferred his dreams. “A masterpiece I threw away,” he sings. “Just an incomplete symphony/So bittersweet/A masterpiece too hard to say.”
