We're always late to the party going on across the pond in Europe, and we need a late pass when it comes to Dutch vocalist Joya Mooi, who released her debut project Hard Melk almost a year ago (ouch!). We're just getting acquainted with her Jazz-based Soul stylings. Joya Mooi sings with a sweet, delicate and harmonious coo. "Pact With The Sun" hits home with the afrobeat drum pattern, stuttering bassline and floating wah-wah guitar to accompany Joya's etherealness.
Pact With the Sun by Joya Mooi from Joya Mooi on Vimeo.
Hard Melk it turns out was originally started as a musical project for a theatrical production that she was involved with, and it grew into its own thing. Producers SirOJ, Wan, Presto, Hayzee, Big2 and Full Crate created a sound that dips into Jazz, Funk and Electro that compliments Joya Mooi beautifully. It's always refreshing to hear songs like "Doctor" that step out of the themes of romance that soul music has wrapped itself with. Check out her album, available now.
