At age 15, her cover of a Ray Charles song uploaded to a video-sharing site garnered significant attention, and she made her debut at age 17 with the single “New Manhattan.” Since then, she has garnered significant attention in the UK music scene, including a nomination for the BBC’s “Sound of 2020” and being named “Rising Star” at the 2020 Brit Awards.\n\nSpeaking about her debut album *Skin*, released amid high anticipation, she says, “This landmark debut album is a work I’m very proud of; it’s an autobiographical work that covers themes ranging from casual sex to intergenerational trauma, abuse of power, and mental health.” The recording was a collaborative effort with producer BlueMay, taking place at London’s Conk Studios—known for being founded by The Kinks—while the string recordings were done at Abbey Road Studios’ famous Studio 2. Joy Crooks’ smoky, distinctive vocals, combined with backing tracks brimming with vintage soul, create a melancholic sound reminiscent of Amy Winehouse.\nThe striking album artwork was created by photographer Carlota Guerrero, who also designed the cover for Solange’s *A Seat at the Table*. This album is highly recommended for fans of UK neo-soul singers such as Celeste, NAO, and Lianne La Havas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.I Don't Mind\u003cbr\u003e2.19th Floor\u003cbr\u003e3.Poison\u003cbr\u003e4.Trouble\u003cbr\u003e5.When You Were Mine\u003cbr\u003e6.To Lose Someone\u003cbr\u003e7.Unlearn You\u003cbr\u003e8.Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e9.Feet Don't Fail Me Now\u003cbr\u003e10.Wild Jasmine\u003cbr\u003e11.Skin\u003cbr\u003e12.Power\u003cbr\u003e13.Theek Ache\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speakerbox Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53010003525921,"sku":"194399186121","price":87.0,"currency_code":"RON","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/194399186121.jpg?v=1783595278","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ro\/products\/194399186121","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
