The Australian pop-soul singer/songwriter, Joel Adams, who is originally from Brisbane has released his highly anticipated new single, Sick World, available today.

Joel Adams exploded to stardom back in 2015 when his self-released debut single Please Don’t Go become a global and viral hit. The song has been streamed over 500 million times and placed Joel on Spotify’s ‘Top 20 Under 20’ to watch out for. Since then, Joel has spent time in the studio focusing on more music and was living in Los Angeles where he released Fake Friends, a single with Ryan Tedder, and an EP which has been streamed over 31 million times. On top of this, Joel also participated on NBC’s primetime national series, Songland, where he performed his original song Hate Love.

Due to the current global pandemic, Joel has returned to Australia where he has been busy writing and recording. The new single, Sick World, reflects on many of the issues the world is presently facing and was written when Joel was in his first week of quarantine, having just landed back in Australia during the beginning of COVID-19 outbreak when the whole world seemed anxious and stressed.

Joel was shocked at the way the world and society reacted when faced with a grave situation. The selfish acts of panic buying so people were unable to buy their daily living essentials and how divided many people became when it would have been more beneficial to unite, was disappointing. The concept for Sick World initially began as a song about how the virus plagued the world in more ways than just sickness, but then as more happened in 2020 it opened Joel’s eyes to many other larger issues taking place globally and how society repeatedly chose to become divided instead of united.

Joel says, “The lyrics in the chorus – It’s a sick world but it got much sicker when we lost ourselves – ring true now more than ever with the way social media and technology has evolved so quickly. We rely so much on instant gratification and have becoming impatient and self-centred in an ever-increasing way. On one hand, we have evolved socially and economically but on the other hand we are still so lost in so many ways ethically. I think 2020 has reminded us just how far we still have to go.”
