Cautious Clay signs to Blue Note Records and releases "Ohio"
Cautious Clay has signed with Blue Note Records and released single Ohio alongside the official video.
Cautious Clay – the Cleveland-born, New York-based singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer also known as Joshua Karpeh – has shared his first release since the 2022 EP, Thin Ice on the Cake.
“Ohio” touches upon Cautious’ early experiences growing up in Cleveland. The song struts to a buoyant fat bassline reminiscent of 1970s-era Isley Brothers.
Cautious began receiving wide recognition with the release of Blood Type in 2018 featuring his breakthrough single “Cold War". The song was featured on Issa Rae’s hit HBO TV show, Insecure, and Olivia Wilde’s movie, Booksmart, and was interpolated by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff on “London Boy” from the pop star’s album Lover. Cautious Clay's other writing and production credits include working with Billie Eilish, John Mayer, John Legend, Khalid, Kavinsky, Melanie Martinez, and Remi Wolf.
Following two more EPs – Resonance and Table of Context – Cautious released his debut full-length, Deadpan Love in 2021.
