Joyeur embrace the non-formulaic pop style in their new track Fast As You Can that makes you want to dance like nobody is watching and I have to say that listening to it is a pure joy. The track is an ode to online stalking, something many of us are guilty for, to get rid of the shame we all feel after we do it or get caught so the primal nature of the track works perfectly with the message of online stalking, hunting down your online prey.

Joyeur releases new single ‘Don’t Wanna T’

Joyeur is the creative output of LA-based vocalist and songwriter Joelle Corey with the help of longtime production collaborator Anna Feller. She teases her upcoming LP How to Love Yourself & Not Destroy Everything with the release of ‘Don’t Wanna T’ —a letter to an anxious and overly verbose lover, rooted in a real life relationship entering its end. It’s vibey Alt-R&B with liberal doses of bass and brings to mind contemporaries such as Banks, Tei Shi, and Little Dragon.

Jo shares, “Anna and I made this song in my studio apartment under the Hollywood sign. I was frustrated with and exhausted by someone who had to discuss every morsel of information entering and exiting their mind. I desperately wanted them to be in the present with me, but they could only analyze the future or dissect the past. I didn’t know it at the time, but this was me processing the beginning of the end of that relationship.”

Joyeur release new single ‘End of the World’

LA-based duo Joyeur have shared their new single ‘End of the World’.

The track imagines a 'last night on earth' party amidst anxieties of apocalyptic conditions. It's vibey Alt-R&B that moves effortlessly, bringing to mind contemporaries such as Tei Shi and Christine and the Queens, and when vocalist Joelle Corey brings in the chorus, you can't help but hear a little Michael Jackson in her delivery.

Joyeur shares, "We wrote this song in response to the pandemic amid the west coast wildfires last summer. We were in Los Angeles stuck inside our homes during a heatwave looking out our closed windows and all we could see was smoke, ash, and a fiery red sun in the sky. It felt like the goddamn apocalypse. Everyone we talked to was feeling beyond low. There was this intense feeling of being stuck, we couldn't be inside together because of the virus and we couldn't be outside together because of the fires. We coped by imagining a sort of "last night on earth" party, which is how the track came about."

Dig me a hole and we’ll call it home
