Jobriath is an excellent pop composer, relying as much on guitars as on piano, a voice not exceptional in the strict sense but scratchy, expressive, and endowed with great theatrical charisma.

 Being thrown to the sharks in this way and then ostracized like a pariah, this was the fate that the mythological world of rock, which is anything but golden, reserved for this boy as talented as he was fragile.

Jobriath’s 1973 debut album showcases his talent in glam rock, blending Bowie and T.Rex influences with a theatrical style. Despite a grand marketing campaign, the album failed commercially due to cultural and industry factors. The review highlights his role as a pioneering openly gay rock musician and the tragic fallout of his career in a hostile environment. The record remains a richly crafted but overlooked gem in rock history. Explore the glam rock brilliance and tragic story of Jobriath—listen to his groundbreaking album and discover a lost rock legend today.
