'Just Come Home With Me' singer Joesef has released his debut album 'Permanent Damage' thanking his fans with a heartfelt message.

The singer, who grew up in Glasgow, told his fans: 'Not a day goes by I'm not grateful for the privilege of waking up and doing something I love. thank you to everyone whose gotten me here, and held me up since the very beginning.' (sic)

Joesef explained in this message that he found it: 'Quite difficult to find peace in myself', until he began to make music. He went on to explain that the album: 'Is about making sense of that absence of stability. It's about the collapse of a relationship from the inside out, It's about fighting in the street on the way home, kissing in the taxi, having nothing to say in the morning. holding grief in your hands and carrying it with you indefinitely.' (sic)

Fans have been very excited at the chance to finally hear the Joesef's new music, with one fan writing: 'Crackin’ wee album!!', and another saying: 'what a wonderful fu*king gift u are. forever grateful you're brave and vulnerable enough to share your complex beautiful human feelings with us in such a stunning and profound way. so proud. ly always. xxx'. (sic)
