Released via 'Insanity' - A stunningly candid and fearless body of work, 'Juniper' reaffirms Joy as one of the UK's most vital and original voices. A once-in-a-generation talent, Crookes delivers a record that is both emotionally raw and sonically rich; humorous, heartbreaking and profoundly human. Following the success of her 2021 debut 'Skin', which earned BRIT and Mercury Prize nominations, went Top 5 in the UK charts, and drew acclaim from The Guardian, NME and many more, Joy set out to make an album that pushed her further both musically and personally. 'Juniper' is the result: a project defined by its depth and dynamism. Written with a stripped-back approach and produced by long-time collaborators including Blue May (Kano, Jorja Smith), Tev'n (Stormzy) and Harvey Grant (Arlo Parks), 'Juniper' features standout guest appearances from Vince Staples on the incendiary 'Pass the Salt' and Kano on the bittersweet confessional 'Mathematics'.
