Last week Joy shared her new single ‘When You Were Mine’, which premiered as Charli XCX’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1. Potentially Joy’s most cinematic single yet, built around a full brass section and detailing nostalgic summer nights in Brixton, ‘When You Were Mine’ is next in line in a series of immaculate singles from Joy’s debut album Skin, following the moving title track ‘Skin’ and lead single ‘Feet Don’t Fail Me Now’.

With Joy credited as an executive producer on the album, alongside the formidable Blue May (Kano, Blood Orange), Skin is a hugely personal, gamechanging body of work from one of the UK’s boldest and brightest young talents. A collection of songs built and honed throughout her adolescence and into her early twenties, and finessed last year within the most turbulent of circumstances, Skin touches on topics such as mental health, relationships, and politics all with grace and sensitivity. Joy has created what can only be described as a truly special body of work that is both perfectly of the moment, and entirely timeless. Skin’s album artwork is shot by Carlota Guerrero, who has previously worked with Arca, Chloe x Halle, and Solange for all of her imagery for A Seat At The Table.
