About
Joy Oladokun is a seeker. Her music, which toes the line of a number of genres but treads most closely to warm, rootsy power pop, often scans as diaristic and charts Oladokun’s good-faith attempts to find her own meaningful place in the world, as when she sings she “cried for the innocent a thousand times” on the hopeful but wrenching “Changes” or that she’s just “trying to find a way up when I’m down” on “We’re All Gonna Die.” Guests on the LP include Manchester Orchestra, Mt. Joy, and Maxo Kream, but the standout may be “Sweet Symphony,” a match-made-in-heaven kind of collaboration with Chris Stapleton that offers ample room for both artists to showcase the interplay between their powerhouse voice. .
