The inspiration for “Cigarettes and Coffee” stems from those rare, genuine moments when people let their guard down and reveal their true selves. Joss explains, “I wanted to capture the beauty of those instances when you’re sharing a simple, quiet moment with someone and they feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable.” The song is about appreciating the authenticity and honesty in these intimate moments, valuing the raw, unfiltered conversations, and deep connections that come from simply being present with each other.
Joss worked closely with Cape Town-based producer Theo Mulder, whose expertise in capturing raw emotion and simplicity was crucial in bringing “Cigarettes and Coffee” to life. Songwriter Caleb Williams also played a significant role, helping to mold the song’s premise and melodies, elevating Joss’s initial ideas to new heights.
Born in Durban, South Africa, Joss has been independently building his music career since 2017. With over 8 million streams across all platforms, he has achieved significant milestones, including working with Grammy-nominated artists like Sean Kingston and performing at international festivals. His previous singles “Toxic” and “What’s Your Name” have topped local radio charts, demonstrating his growing influence in the music scene. Joss describes his sound as an easy listening blend of pop and rock that aims to connect with listeners through honest storytelling and evocative melodies.
Looking ahead, Joss is working on follow-up singles to “Cigarettes and Coffee”. He also plans to perform live more extensively, with the goal of continuing to evolve as an artist and share his musical journey with fans.
