Reaching the #5 spot on the AiriT charts for Australian community radio, #6 on the Hype Machine charts, Top 40 on the Global Spotify Viral Chart and straight to national radio playlists, JOY.'s first single, About Us from her debut EP, has been winning hearts far beyond her home shores. Today, the 17-year old producer further solidifies herself as 'one to watch" with the accompanying video – brooding and cinematic in its exploration of lost love, distilled in a youthful melancholia that forms a deep-running theme in JOY.'s EP, Ode.
Watch 'About Us' Here
With her highly anticipated headline tour kicking off next month after being touted as an 'act to watch" at BIGSOUND earlier this month, JOY. has also announced that she will be joined by newcomer, Owen Rabbit in the main support role. Producer / multi-instrumentalist Owen has just come off the sold-out national tour supporting SAFIA and has been declared by The Fader to be 'A stuttering, pouty cut of electronic soul". Also joining the tour will be indie/folk/pop singer Joe Mungovan, chillwavers Nakatomi, producer/vocalist Lonelyspeck and electronic pop soloist Leure.
About Us has racked up 140k Soundcloud streams, 390k spins on Spotify with glowing reviews both locally and aboard. The 'Ode" EP landed at #1 on the iTunes Electronic chart on debut with Beats 1 Radio heavyweight Zane Lowe highlighting JOY. as one to watch at the recent Beats Sound Symposium in Sydney.
It's been a busy year for the Brisbane-born artist, claiming the title of the Triple J Unearthed Feature artist earlier this year, performing as the Triple J Unearthed winner at the Brisbane leg of Laneway Festival and Field Day 2015.
