Prodigiously gifted singer, songwriter and guitarist Joel Hernandez is just 20, but the pop-rock wunderkind has already absorbed a lifetime of music. Growing up in El Campo, Texas, he soaked up the region’s diverse soundscapes. Through his multi-generational musician family, he learned how to be a thoughtful and emotive songwriter.
Now, he harvests these formative experiences with his masterful debut. The 12-song album is an eclectic yet cohesive collection of songs, brimming with radio-ready hooks, vibey ensemble interplay, and sage coming-of-age insights.
There is indeed a song for everyone on Joel’s refreshingly diverse debut. The album swaggers through alt rock, classic rock, soft rock, blues, R&B, pop, and soul with an assured artistry akin to modern icons like Gary Clark Jr, Tom Petty, and John Mayer. The record’s strong songwriting, and Joel’s highly polished signature aesthetic, hold the album together—shifts in genre feel more like mood shifts, offering the listener a satisfying and emotionally balanced album.
