jameshonib Joy Smith like a few great musicians takes you on a journey through time and space to a place that we are so familiar with in our imaginations and thoughts. Very few can do what she does. Every-time I listen to her, I get goosebumps. Favorite track: Yellow.

about

Next is a collection of stories penned over the last 5 years and was recorded in her bedroom, some hotel rooms and the gardens of many of her friends. Even though you will recognise the Nico-covered ‘These Days’ (featuring Freak-Folk legend Dan Hampton from Thomas Krane), Joy has a beautiful uncanny ability to make anything she puts her voice on, to sound distinctively Joy. But also hints at some of the places and faces, her influences stem from.
Recording and mixing engineer, Dirk Hugo (Benguela, Righard Kapp, Andy Lund, The Wild Eyes) mixed the album; with the exception of first single, ‘Daisy’ – now currently getting some FREE download status – recorded, mixed and mastered by Adolph J. de Beer.

Joy Smith South Africa

21 year old Joy Smith is something else; she is the real thing.

Horses dipped in yellow, suit-wearing foxes under her bed, water colours painted for a dying grandmother and many other tales filled with love lost, gained and misplaced; this is just a tiny peek into the beautifully imaginative and visceral, yet near auto-biographical mind of Pretoria based singer/songwriter Joy Smith. ... more
