Any other Joy Crookes fans here? A quick search suggests she’s barely merited a mention on the site so far, but I am very much in love with her latest album at the moment. Elements of soul, jazz, pop, even trip-hop all mixed together to create something immediately familiar. Her first album is worth a listen too. Any other admirers here?

Shades of Portishead on this one:
Excellent song & production. It’s sort of ‘soul noir’ or something. I will definitely listen to more.
she comes across as a great laugh as well, listen to her on the Off Menu Podcast with Ed Gamble and James Acaster
Her album will feature on my end of year list. And, yes, there were some real bangers on the first one too. It’s not that long ago we were trying to claim her on account of her Irish Da..
I came across her via this early appearance on Later some 6 years ago or so. I thought this song was just wonderful – very playful and relaxed (ie not in yer face like some music of this genre). Ive not heard much of her stuff of late so maybe I should rectify that
