With Learn To Live Again, Joshua Batten has made the autobiographical statement he’s always wanted to. The sprawling song cycle is an eclectic mix of songs that tell a cohesive story about the challenges and acceptance of mental health and neurodiversity, set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. The story chronicles Joshua’s experience as a working musician on the Autism Spectrum, and how the pandemic forced him to revaluate his priorities and ambitions, to a point where he could be more independent and forgiving of himself. It's Joshua’s journey, but one which resonates far and wide beyond the personal.

Joshua will launch the album with a series of semi-acoustic performances at the MC Showroom, stripping back the heavy production and allowing the story to take centre stage with his insightful lyrics and uplifting melodies. Accompanied by multi-instrumentalists Franca Locandro and Ayden Gadsen, this is Joshua Batten at his most creative, most introspective, and most honest.
