LA based artist Josephine is gearing up to release her new EP, and we’ve got the premiere of the fresh new track “Friends” today on GroundSounds! Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona to Persian parents, 22-year-old singer/songwriter, Josephine’s musical influence came from both Middle Eastern music and hip-hop alike. The melting pot of sounds served as the basis for her unique sound and sing-rap cadence much like SZA and Halsey. The song is undeniably catchy and is the perfect way to start off your weekend!

Josephine on the song:

I wrote ‘Friends’ about my best friend, a guy, who I was in love with. Most of my songs come from an autobiographical place and imagination mixed with melodramatic exaggeration – but this song was the most literal song I’ve written. It really encapsulates this relationship that I just felt so backwards in. You always hear about girls friend-zoning guys but rarely do you hear about it being the other way around..”
