Josie Proto, one of the most promising British newcomers to build acclaim in 2020 keeps the momentum going with her latest single “Puddles” from her forthcoming second EP. Following on from the lively single “I Bet You Fall Apart”, which saw Josie gain international heat with Toronto’s INDIE88 premiering the music video, “Puddles” shows the burgeoning creative’s vulnerable side in a moving track which reminds people that being young and naive is fun – another message which is sure to resonate with her vastly growing fanbase.
Josie explains of “Puddles”: “This song is about getting to the age where you realise you don’t want to ‘grow up’ fast anymore. I spent a lot of my teen years wanting to do ‘adult’ things and to be independent, and then suddenly when it’s all handed to you, you want to run away and go back to climbing trees and getting upset about which Frube your best mate gave you. I want to romanticise being in a relationship where you are best friends and do harmless and innocent things. There is so much media condoning adult behavior from children and I wish someone had shown me why making the most of your childhood is important. ‘Puddles’ has had so many versions. Initially the song had completely different lyrics and was about being far away from your best friend, but I wrote these lyrics at about 5.30am before going into the studio to record the song.”
