British folk, rock, and indie pop singer-songwriter Rufus Joseph invites listeners to reflect on the beauty of nostalgia and the longing for simpler times with his latest single, Home, which released January 24, 2025.

“This poignant track captures the ache of returning to a place that shaped us, even as life pulls us further from it,” said Rufus Joseph.

Co-produced by Rufus Joseph and Marcus Mack, and written and performed by Rufus himself, Home envelops listeners in its warm yet haunting melody. The song is complemented by lyrics that echo universal sentiments of yearning and belonging, with lines such as “I just wanna unpack, fall flat on my old bed and lie with my ghost” and “See the place my lines were drawn, embrace the roots and burns.” Rufus’ music masterfully comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable, offering a space for deep introspection and emotional resonance.

Now healthy and recovering from years battling the devastating effects of Lyme Disease and PANS/PANDAS—alongside struggles with addiction and mental illness—Rufus Joseph channels his experiences into hauntingly soulful music that touches hearts and inspires healing. His work isn’t just about sharing his journey; it’s about facilitating a space for growth and meaning in the lives of others.

Rufus Joseph’s music delves into the emotional and psychological landscapes shaped by his own experiences, encouraging a universal connection that transcends the individual. His distinctive sound and evocative storytelling position him as an artist to watch in 2025.
