 The 12-song collection is a vibrant mix of growling low-down blues, Jovin’s wailing harmonica, heartfelt soul ballads, and rowdy, Little Richards-style rock ‘n’ roll Jovin captivated millions of viewers on ABC's American Idol with his bayou mystique, humble demeanor, and distinctive gravelly voice. His performances earned him a dedicated following across social media and rave reviews from the show's judges. After hearing Jovin sing for the first time, four-time Grammy Award-winning R&B icon Lionel Richie praised him, saying, “This is what barbecue sauce sounds like.” Bestselling country star Luke Bryan added, “I could sit and drink a lot of bourbon listening to that voice.” Throughout his time on Idol, Jovin's authenticity and personal story resonated deeply with audiences, embodying the essence of the blues. Raised in the church, he was a musician pursuing his dreams while navigating the challenges of single fatherhood. His mother, a hardworking single parent, made countless sacrifices to provide for her children, while his father, a rolling stone figure, introduced Jovin to the blues by singing John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" and teaching him about the rich tradition of blues music. Jovin reflects on his musical journey, saying, “At a young age, the longing and pain expressed by Southern Black Baptist church music spoke to me, but as I experienced my own trials and tribulations, I felt the pull of the blues. I soon realized that gospel and blues are connected. When you’re in a low place, whether seeking salvation or expressing the blues, it’s about searching for something more.” His debut album, Drifter, is a reflection of a life steeped in blues, searching for gospel redemption. “It’s me trying to figure out religion, women, my career, and everything I’ve gone through,” Jovin shares. The twelve tracks on Drifter evoke the timelessness of classic blues while maintaining a fresh and original sound, free from nostalgia or imitation. Tracks: 01.
