Jos Rivers releases her debut EP Thankyou So Very Much via RCA Records UK, alongside new single Pocket Of Your Jeans.
Across six tracks, the rising UK artist builds a sharp, emotionally direct pop world around growing up, overthinking, heartbreak, self-trust, and the messy business of becoming yourself without pretending it looks polished.
The EP brings together previous singles Thankyou So Very Much, Long Time Coming, and He’s A Genius with new tracks Pocket Of Your Jeans, 0749, and Admit I’m Fucking Crazy.
Jos says:
My first EP I would say is almost like a very messy scrapbook of the past couple years of my life. It’s centred around making mistakes, growing up in the modern world and slowly learning how to trust myself again. So pretty much me over analysing, spiralling, not taking it too seriously and eventually finding my way back to who I am all at once. At its core it’s just a really honest snapshot of a period of my life that has shaped me massively and I wanted people to feel like they’d been let into my brain for half an hour than being presented with a ‘perfect’ version of me.
That framing lands. The record does not chase a pop-perfect version of identity; it lets the contradictions stay visible.
Production stays bright and accessible, but the writing does the heavy lifting: witty, honest, and full of messy self-recognition.
Born in Cheadle and trained at The BRIT School, Jos Rivers is already building serious momentum, with support from Ren, Meghan Trainor, and Skye Newman, plus live steps at Ronnie Scott’s, KOKO, The Great Escape, and a sold-out Paper Dress Vintage headline show.
With festival dates and intimate UK shows ahead, Thankyou So Very Much frames growing up exactly as it is: chaotic, funny, painful, and not remotely polished.
Thankyou So Very Much works because it understands the assignment: growing up is chaotic, embarrassing, funny, painful, and occasionally iconic. Jos Rivers puts all of that in the frame.
