Julianna Joy’s debut album sounds like the friend who shows up to your boring dinner party and convinces everyone to go dancing instead. Her alternative pop approach skips the usual predictable moves and goes straight for the unexpected turns that keep you paying attention.
The three singles that have been floating around LA – “Goldstar”, “The Year I lived as You”, and “Better”, give you a good taste of her range. Joy’s voice has this quality where she sounds completely comfortable being uncomfortable, if that makes sense. She sings about complicated feelings without trying to wrap them up in neat little packages.
This album works whether you’re driving alone at midnight or getting ready to go out with friends. Joy managed to make songs that feel personal but not exclusionary. She’s clearly figuring out her sound while making music that already feels confident.
