Music That Takes Me Places

JOY CROOKES, SKIN

Joy Crookes

Crookes Joy Crookes dazzles on her debut album Skin with a blend of modern soul, jazz, R&B, and pop, carried by her rich voice and sharp songwriting. At 23, she draws on songs written between the ages of 15 and 21, exploring identity, heartbreak, generational trauma, and mental health. Much of the album was recorded at London’s revered Konk Studios, with sweeping string arrangements tracked at Abbey Road’s Studio Two by an 18-piece ensemble. The record shifts between lush ballads and smoky grooves, delivered with the assurance of an artist far beyond her years.

Music has always been an important part of my life. My family and friends knew this well, often asking me what I was listening to and what I liked. It was always humbling to be asked, and eventually, I gathered the courage to create this music blog—to put into words what draws me to certain music and why. Over the years, my passion for writing has grown, along with my excitement for sharing musical discoveries. I hope your time here sparks excitement and leads you to a musical discovery of your own. More than anything, I hope your visit brings a little joy to your day.
