Mesmerizing and soul-tickling, Joia Mooi’s new track is that irresistible sonic dessert you’ve been craving for so long. Amsterdam-based singer-songwriter Joya Mooi reunited with producer Sim Fane for another hypnotizing cut of modern R&B.

Part of a series of impressive releases dropped throughout 2021, Joya’s latest track weaves through a luscious, kaleidoscopic soundscape as her angelic vocals effortlessly shine through. It’s a slick, down-tempo offering that finds Joya ruminating over the perception of people and the assumptions that we make of others, as well as the ones created about us. She explains:

I think as people we do many things, sending out mixed messages, avoiding difficult questions or having ”off days” - so it only makes sense that most people don’t get to meet the ‘real’ you. Society is changing a lot, and it looks like people are becoming more hesitant to learn something themselves. I don’t know if it’s fear of trying or if it just seems easier to be detached by default. But it is something that has been on my mind lately.

The track’s pulsating core, combined with Joia’s ability to caress our eardrums will leave a sweet aftertaste, making you wanting one more piece of this gorgeousness…
