Joy Oladokun - in defense of my own happiness
Joy Oladokun’s debut album is a (no pun intended) real joy to listen to. It’s depth of lyric are given space to breath by the music surrounding them.
“when you listen to me, i want you to feel like you’ve taken an emotional shower. that’s what i’m trying to accomplish for myself. to me, music is a vehicle of catharsis. i write a lot of sad songs, but i always push for a sliver of a silver lining or glimmer of hope it could be better. that’s why i’m writing in the first place. i want you to be changed when you hear me, and not because i’m special, but because i make music with the intention to change myself.”
