The promotion for Josaleigh Pollett’s upcoming album ‘If I Let It Quiet’ has been a slow and measured affair. From the release of ‘Radio Player’ – a complex, multi-layered number – in October 2025 – each successive single has presented a slightly different aspect to the singer-songwriter’s sound and influences. Each one has promised that, if nothing else, ‘If I Let It Quiet’ will be an interesting listen.
Towards the end of 2025, singer songwriter Josaleigh Pollett released ‘Radio Player’, a complex track that took in various indie and electronica styles, along with other moods, to create a recording that felt as if it were always shifting. The fact that it never felt forced or unsettled was testament to some great hooks and a soaring vocal that contrasted the music’s more mechanical elements brilliantly.
Josaleigh Pollett’s ‘Radio Player’ is a rather special recording. Its opening sounds throw the listener into a world of dark synthwave, suggesting something rich in atmosphere. It then takes a somewhat dramatic twist when Josaleigh adds a vocal that, at first, suggests they have a love of classic dream pop, before an increase in volume allows their voice to reach for something much bigger. Hitting a couple of soaring, notes, this presents a talent with a huge, natural sound, drawing the listener further into a world where Pollett’s love of almost cinematic sounds comes into its own.
