Wesley Joseph Unveils ‘Pluto Baby’ Ahead Of Debut Album ‘Forever Ends Someday’

Wesley Joseph returns with Pluto Baby, a new single and cinematic video that expands the world surrounding his long-awaited debut album Forever Ends Someday.

Directed by Paris and Tokyo-based visual artist Lokmane and creatively directed by Joseph himself, the video was filmed inside the Paris Communist Party headquarters. The building’s sweeping modernist interior provides a striking backdrop, placing Joseph within vast curved spaces that mirror the scale and atmosphere of the track itself.

Musically, Pluto Baby leans into mood as much as melody. Catchy hooks move alongside direct rap verses while distorted guitars ripple through a haze of cascading synths and heavy low-end textures. Fragments of piano drift in between Joseph’s bars, adding moments of fragility before the rhythm pulls the track forward again.

Joseph describes the song as capturing the blurred perspective of a late night where emotion, excitement and uncertainty begin to merge.

“Pluto Baby is set in the blur of night, written from a younger and less sure perspective that’s questioning what's real,” he explains. “It’s the spiral between chasing highs, euphoria, lust and loneliness… a dark but euphoric storm you can move to.”

The track’s creation reflects Joseph’s collaborative process. Recorded during a storm in Hastings, the song began to take shape when A.K. Paul added a guitar solo that became the backbone of the track. With contributions from Harvey Dweller and Tev’n, the song continued to evolve before Nicolas Jaar helped steer it toward its final four-to-the-floor pulse.

Pluto Baby also reinforces Joseph’s reputation as one of the UK’s most distinctive creative multi-hyphenates. Alongside his work as a rapper, singer and producer, he has built a parallel identity as a filmmaker, directing and shaping the visual language surrounding his music.

That approach continues on Forever Ends Someday, his debut album arriving 10 April via Secretly Canadian. Across 13 tracks, Joseph blends alternative R&B, leftfield hip-hop and soul while tracing a personal timeline through memory, youth and the present moment.

With Pluto Baby, Joseph offers another glimpse into the sonic and visual universe he has been quietly building in recent years.

Now, with his debut album approaching, that world is beginning to unfold in full.
