Oct 06, 2021, 14:00pm EST — Josh Waters shares his beautiful new song “Cyclone” with an accompanying music video directed by WLPWR (Wiz Khalifa, Dizzy Wright, Yelawolf, etc.). As soon as you hit play and begin to travel into the eye of the storm, this simple yet lively ballad will shift you into a new reality.
Josh paints a picture of his life through the prism of an eroding relationship with a woman, feeling his emotions and feelings through the way enchanting guitar flows. He states, “This song was inspired by a breakup. My friend and amazing songwriter Doug Whatley and I came together to tell this story.”

Josh is fortunate to be mentored by one of the great ATL producers WLPWR, who also happens to be a refined photographer and videographer. “I actually met WLPWR through Big K.R.I.T back in 2017. Two years went by, and he built this recording facility. I started booking there as a client. One thing led to another, I did his artist development program and later signed to his label, BNDWTH Atlanta,” Josh explains.
Produced and directed by WLPWR (Wiz Khalifa, Dizzy Wright, Eminem, Yelawolf), the video came from a real place. WLPWR asked Josh, “What do you do when dealing with pain?” Josh instantly remembered, as a kid he’d hop on my bike and ride out… hence the creative vision behind the video came into fruition.
Josh adds, “I get goosebumps every time I watch, it’s so nostalgic for me. Takes me back to my childhood. Riding was a relief.”
Josh has established himself as one of the finest young performers in the genre, capable of bringing his deepest feelings to life through his evocative songwriting. Josh released a song every week in 2020! He remained consistent with the campaign, dropping 52 songs that caught on quickly, and soon, he had built up a vast catalog of songs reflecting his versatility and innovation. Josh is gearing up to release new music via WLPWR’s new label BNDWTH, which showcases his pen and smooth vocals.
