South London based artist Joy Crookes has taken my breath away. Not only with her soulful performance on recent song Since I Left You, an austere, sorrowful ballad that will tear your heart asunder, but with the exceptional video for her song, too. Sure, it’s simple, but tell me that stunning dress and her beauty don’t complement Since I Left You to perfection. Joy Crookes, whose roots lie in both Ireland and Bangladesh, is hauntingly mesmeric. And even more incredibly, the song is marked as a demo. After such a striking encounter with Joy Crookes, we just had to look into the artist some more. For a more luscious grooving song from the soul talent, check out her video for Two Nights below, which comes from her latest EP, Remembrance, which is streaming, here. Since I Left You is available as a single, here.
