In Joshua’s words, “‘Hall of Shame’ is about facing your darkest moments and the hard truths you hide from. It's about that internal battle we all go through, fighting to keep our heads above water.”
The song’s haunting lyrics and powerful instrumentation create an atmosphere of tension, capturing the intensity of that emotional fight.
“Hall of Shame” also arrives with a gripping music video directed by Cullen Blanchfield and produced by Chris McCooey and Joshua McCooey. The video, which was filmed by Joshua’s go to team at Essence Picture Company, adds another dimension to the song’s themes, with choreography by Joshua himself. The cast features an ensemble of talented New York based dancers who help bring the song's story to life. With "Hall of Shame," Joshua solidifies his ability to blend artistry across mediums, offering an emotional and thought-provoking journey to his fans.
Joshua McCooey began his musical journey alongside his dad, a musician who began releasing his own material in 2020 as a form of staying mentally healthy. Joshua began writing that same year.
Joshua worked on songs, but life got in the way, and they never got completed until one finally did.
Once Joshua wrote a track he was really proud of, he got the itch, and it hasn't stopped since.
"My music became my own personal diary of all of my life experiences. Now, every time I look back at an old song, I’m reminded of how I started, and what I’ve learned since then. I still have so much more to learn, but I’m ecstatic that, through my music, people will be able to take that journey with me," says Joshua.
"Hall of Shame" follows several singles and an EP release and serve as a testament to where he is at with his sound right now.
