(Los Angeles, CA – November 19th, 2021) – Today, Long Beach based trio half•alive release their
new single “Hot Tea” along with the music video via RCA Records. “Hot Tea” is co-produced by
David Pramik (Lauv, Illenium, LANY) and OJIVOLTA (Kanye West, Jon Bellion, Halsey). The video
is directed by half•alive’s Josh Taylor and choreographed by JA Collective. Check it out HERE. The
band is excited to announce the 1st part of their new album Give Me Your Shoulders, Pt. 1 will be
released in February 2022.
About “Hot Tea,” Josh Taylor from half•alive says, ““Hot Tea” is a deep longing to be touched by life.
A desperate desire to love someone with sacred, caring hands & be loved in return by people & God
& her creation. We shot this video on tour, representing that desperate longing with plastic- a
material that is nearly invisible, yet air tight. That was the feeling for me at least. Plastic is a thin
filament that prevents pure exposure to the raw ingredients of life. An artificial, translucent barrier to
the heart that i will claw at until there is nothing left.”
About Give Me Your Shoulders, Pt. 1, Josh Taylor says, “We’ve never before explored the topic of
love in our songs. This album is unexplored territory in that regard. It’s vulnerable. Exposing my
shoulders to whoever will stop & listen. Many of the songs are about the cry for love’s hand around
my heart. In one breath it’s about a person & about God. To ache for the comfort of another. To hide
in the corner of their shoulder & know I am safe.
Give Me Your Shoulders is Love. To give what you cannot carry. To accept another’s burden without
condition. To yoke yourself with the author of Love & find rest for your soul.”

About half•alive:
The music of half•alive breathes, evolves, grows, and changes alongside the lives of the Long Beach
trio—Josh Taylor [vocals], Brett Kramer [drums], and J Tyler Johnson [bass]. half•alive officially
came to life on the 2017 3 EP, which sparked a palpable buzz on the strength of “The Fall” and
“Aawake At Night”. Over the course of the next year, they crafted what became their massive
breakout “still feel.” which has been RIAA certified Gold, rocketed into the Top 10 at Alt Radio and
has over 276 million worldwide streams to date. The video organically surpassed the 10 million mark
within two months as the song garnered acclaim from NPR’s coveted “All Songs Considered” and
more. The trio sold out their formal debut headlining tour in 2019 which included 2 sold out shows at
The Fonda Theatre in LA. The tour also included stops at major music festivals including
Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Bumbershoot. Later that year the band made their late night
television debut with a very special performance of “still feel.” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Check out the
incredible and unique performance HERE. They also performed “Runaway” on The Late Late Show
with James Corden. In August 2019, they released their debut album Now, Not Yet which has
amassed over 611 million streams worldwide to date. half•alive was named YouTube’s Artist on the
Rise and their live Vevo DSCVR performances of “RUNAWAY” and “arrow” showcase their
incredible creative artistry. Last year, half•alive released their EP “in Florescence,” an audio and
visual project that included orchestral arrangements of 4 tracks off their critically acclaimed debut
album Now, Not Yet as well as videos for 3 of the 4 songs to accompany them.
