Over the past few weeks, The Joy have released a brand new single that showcases a deeper, richer side to their sound and appeared on one of the most iconic UK music television shows of the past three decades.
Titled “Egoli” their new single maintains the quintet’s roots in traditional Zulu music and modern acapella, but the Tiago Correia Paulo-produced track brings in Maskandi-influenced guitarwork and delicate production flourishes to create a truly wonderful listening experience.
On November 12th The Joy appeared on the iconic UK music show Later…with Jools Holland; it was for a one-off live recorded special for Jool’s 30th Birthday Bash filmed at London’s Eventim Apollo. They performed their debut single “Isencane Lengane” on an episode of the show that also featured Michael Kiwanuka, Mercury Prize winner, Benjamin Clementine, and Swedish sisters, First Aid Kit.
Watch their mesmerising performance below!
