Crookes Joy - Juniper

Facts 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 it's depth and dynamism. A stunningly candid and fearless body of work, the album 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. 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'.
