Connecticut-based music project Lit. Major, the brainchild of Remy Josef, is set to make a return with his latest album, I’m Glad This Has Been So Easy For You on August 16. Known for his deeply personal and emotionally raw songwriting, Lit. Major continues to explore the intricacies of human relationships with this new collection of songs.
Leading up to the album’s release, Lit. Major has released several singles, including the compelling, “Bitter Pill,” which further sets the tone for what’s to come. The track is a searing critique wrapped in a darkly poignant Americana-infused arrangement. With its blend of acoustic and electric guitars, layered vocals, and precise percussion, all crafted by Lit. Major himself, “Bitter Pill” delivers a brutally honest portrayal of the sting felt when a significant friendship dissolves without explanation. The biting lyrics and sardonic bridge, where the album’s title makes a notable appearance, underscore the depth of emotional turmoil that inspired this record.
Lit. Major‘s previous work, his 2022 self-titled album, showcased his talent for crafting intimate and revealing music. With I’m Glad This Has Been So Easy For You, Lit. Major advances this personal narrative, offering a raw examination of friendship’s fragility. The album is proof to Lit. Major’s ability to convey profound feelings of bitterness, sadness, and eventual acceptance.
Lit. Major describes the new album as a reflection on the painful realities of adulthood and friendship. This sentiment is echoed throughout the album, inviting one to engage with its themes of ghosting and unresolved emotions. In addition to “Bitter Pill,” the album will feature singles like “Friend/Lover,” and earlier tracks “We Are Gone” and “Won’t.” Each song contributes to a tapestry of raw emotional honesty that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of being left behind by someone they trusted.
