Hey! About the audio issue. I just downloaded the album instead of streaming it and it worked a lot better!

The version on YouTube is better cause u can head his vocals evenly

Wait till u find out Set Me Free is partially about how he was sexually assaulted as a teenager and the lyrics "you don't get to take all of me, set me free" is directed towards his abuser🥲

Posted this on the Crisis post.
LEGAL!
Somebody here referred to the possibility that Olivia was instructed by her management not to comment on the death threats. When I read that, the word LEGAL flashed into my mind. It is very possible that her attorney(s) told her AND her management not to make any public comment on the death threats. In that case, Olivia may have also told not to contact Joshua or discuss this with any of her friends.
Why?
Let's say Olivia had made a public statement on the death threats. In doing do so, she would have acknowledged a possible link between her and those threats, that is, fans' reaction to HER music was translating into death threats to Joshua.
Had something happened to Joshua, that acknowlegement could have been the basis for a massive civil suit on the part of Joshua against Olivia and her management.
Now some of you are going to point out that in August, Olivia spoke out against the fallout created by her songs but if you look carefully at that Buzzfeed post, she really skirts the heavy stuff, like death threats, and addresses only how people read too much into her lyrics.
I realize this might seem a bit farfetched and maybe I am wrong, but I think it is worthwhile to consider the legal element here. I do not want to sound arrogant or condescending but I am probably a bit older than most of you and I have seen how this sort of thing works through my own experience in the business world, where legal issues are constantly at hand. Believe me, gag-rules like I cite above DO exist.
Of course, this explanation does not help poor Josh but I am hoping that he sought help from friends, therapists, etc. It is not like he was destitute. He or his management could have hired protection and they probably did. Let's hope the release of these songs will help him to feel better and move on.

Set me free may be the best song I've ever heard
