Bogat, Joy
It's Different Now
,Its different now" - but what exactly? Listening to Joy Bogats upcoming EP you can hear the afro-german singer relive different stages of growth, that changed her music, personality and mindset over the last two years. There are joyful moments, that celebrate taking time and space for yourself, musically transported by laid-back grooves and floating backing vocals. But: to write about the longing for a parent, that lives on the other side of the globe and struggling to reach out to them also has owned its place in her music. While diving into such personal topics, Joy always finds something healing in the darkest places - and thats what makes her music so honest, reassuring the listener that you dont always have to have everything figured out - youll find your way in the process. Since she started producing her own music in 2019, a unique style of mixing vocal harmonies, synthesizers and soulful grooves has evolved - it supports the stories Joy is telling to her audience, but manages to leave space for listeners to fill each line with their own experience as well. J.B. is symbolic of a new generation calling multiply talented musicians not only in the German Indie- & Soul/RnB-scene: composing, arranging, writing, being on stage. She is one of so few here, emerging with an international approach on the one hand musically, and passing on products of her creative nature on the other hand.
