Yossi, the London-born actor, spoken word artist, and co-founder of Write2Speak, has unveiled his latest EP, “Lost Souls,” a project that delves deep into the recesses of the human experience. It is a work that seamlessly blends ambient electronic soundscapes with poignant spoken word, resulting in an immersive and emotionally resonant listening journey.
The first song, ‘The City,’ makes you feel something right away. It has a strong, steady beat and sad, soft music. It makes you think of a big, lonely city at night. Yossi’s voice talks to you like a friend. He talks about feeling tired and wanting something more as he moves through the city. The way the song is made, with sounds that go around and around, makes you feel like you are stuck, always looking for a real connection that is hard to find. You can almost feel the coldness of the city and the strong desire for something more.

As the EP goes into “Lost Souls,” the music changes. It gets brighter and gives you more hope. Soft, flowing synth sounds, gentle piano music, and quiet electronic sounds make you feel like you can get through hard times. Yossi’s voice, while still close, now has more of a tune, telling you to be encouraged and keep going. The rich, layered music makes you feel like you’re in a wide-open space, and you can almost feel a sense of being lifted up, thinking about being strong and how people can get better. The song says that even when life is very hard, people still have the ability to grow and change, and that those who feel lost are not completely alone; there’s a sense of sharing this feeling of being lost.
The final song, “Tryfan,” takes a turn and becomes more experimental and challenging. Sounds that clash and don’t quite fit, broken rhythms that keep you off-balance, and rough, distorted textures create a feeling of unease and discomfort. This musical feeling matches the words, which talk about feeling mixed up and confused inside. Yossi’s voice sounds more strained and urgent, showing the struggle to understand himself and the world in a confusing and chaotic situation. The music changes abruptly, jumping from one part to another, much like thoughts that don’t flow in a smooth, logical way. It’s an intense experience, making you feel like you’re inside someone’s head, going through a difficult time and trying to make sense of things.

In the end, “Lost Souls” is a very personal and emotionally powerful EP. Yossi’s talent for combining spoken word with atmospheric music makes you feel the songs very strongly. The EP looks at feelings and experiences that everyone has, and its honesty and openness leave a lasting impression on the listener. The careful and deliberate way the songs are arranged, moving from one to the next, creates a connected story, making “Lost Souls” a complete and compelling work of art that stays with you.
