I hear a lot of music that I haven't heard before, that I either like or dislike...but rarely does it stop me in my tracks. Voice, lyrics, everything...I haven't even gotten past the first song yet but I'm an instant fan.
Every Song Is Absolute Gold, I didn't expect to listen to the whole album it's very rare that someone is able to captivate my attention in such a way. It started playing randomly while studying and then it hit me. I instantly fell in love and with every song the rhythm and the lyrics just whisked me away. Well done you have a new fan and I predict there are many more to come.
I came here from the sims 4 collab announcement. This is is honestly really beautiful and empowering. I feel like this is what you listen to when you're staring out of the window late at night thinking about life
Hang on tight. YOU ARE THE GOLD TO BE FOUND AND LOVED!!! Your music certainly deserve more recognition! It’s shocking to see such a high quality voice line, such heartfelt lyrics and such soothing melodies not yet making storms across UA-cam.
When I want to feel great, safe, sweet, aunthethic, heard, seen, and content. I listen to your music. Thank you for your gift and light. It so perfect.
You found a gem. Thanks to Tennessee Whiskey, it led me to the Chris S duet. I immediately searched for her and she became an instant part of my musical rotation
I came here from the tweet about that country musician who shall remain nameless. I love your music! Your lyrics and voice shine and I'm so glad you sent that tweet. I may not have found your music without it.
This is a perfect work of art. I shared "Sunday" with my mom and she said it was beautiful and that she would support me. Thank you, Joy, for making art that inspires people to see, and love, and support their queer family.
UA-cam brought me here against my will... And I aint mad!! 😁 I was trying to listen to Brother Ali and I couldnt stop the autoplay in time and pick the next song. I was slightly annoyed when a random song came on but very quickly was happy with where I ended up 😊 I'm well over half way through the video now and I've subscribed and added this to a few of my playlists. ❤️🔥🙏🏼
I heard your song Breathe Again on an episode of This Is Us and it made me cry . I really related to every word and it's been on repeat since . I have sung and danced to it and released a lot that I need and felt deeply heard. THANK YOU. Your music is beautiful. I love it.
You have a wonderful spirit about you in your music. I heard you on Stephen Colbert May, 2022. Simply pleasant and amazing voice, and lyrics are surreal. I pray the best for you and your band. Purple Haze is my theme song. Love you, Baby Boomer Fan!!
Joy, I just found you on TIDAL. I listened to all three LPs from start to finish. I am simply beside myself. You make beautiful music that breaks my heart but also makes me feel less alone. Simply astounded! Thank you for your art and God bless you.
I had the good fortune to be exposed to you at Gateway City Arts in Holyoke MA, May 5, 2022. So timely. I've been struggling and in dark places with no joy in my life, no longer able to take great delight in small pleasures; on the verge of giving up. Then you, Joy, came into my life. Thank you for allowing me to tap into your strength, hope, wisdom and love. Most of all, thank you for literally bringing joy back into my life ❤️
I just seen you in CBS and I am in love with your music, amazing sound and so relatable, you have such a big fan in me and already sharing your music with all my friends, im so happy to have found this, its was needed.
I was supposed to be at the concert tonight. Tonight is someone else's right timing and celebration though. I'm still listening; hope tonight is great and that I get to go next time.

After 50 years it's great to still hear music that gives one chills. Just keep writing and singing, child. We'll be listening
Absolutely. Joy is a joy to listen to. Totally relatable. A true poet!
How can it be so comforting to listen to sad songs, Joy’s voice and music just wrapped me in a warm blanket and rocked me like a baby, thank you.

Couldn't agree more...

Oh my God. ❤️💘💔😢 Soul touched. You speak our hearts out. 💜🙏🏾 God bless your music and you.
nice music...refreshingly normal...about the music
Wall-to-wall classics 🔥
This album is so GOOD! Thank you for sharing!
WOW!!!! Wow. How did you write what I couldn't express all these days and nights, that turned into months and years... so glad I found this.
This must be how people in the 1960s felt listening to Paul Simon's first recordings. What fantastic songs & singing.
Paul didn't have auto tune. It was talent and hard work, not a machine. It just sounds magic when a human sings and sings well. A dying art.
@@charlestruter7171 wow look at this absolute moron.
She's pretty good, let's not set listeners up to dislike her with outlandish comparisons.
♥️ I Hear you From Spain ♥️
Her songs put in heart !!
When I want to feel great, safe, sweet, aunthethic, heard, seen, and content. I listen to your music. Thank you for your gift and light. It so perfect.
Your a virtuoso Joy. Rock on honey, your soul becomes more pure as you share with us.
Joy, I love all your songs. Your voice is so soothing, not to mention the depth of the lyrics, awesome song writing.
Sweet!
This is so so good! Literally every track's a winner. Well done
First heard her on NPR. Went looking after the show. I've been listening to everything she's on, ever since. Her music is soothing.
Same! Been listening ever since
@@Zambedos Talk about creating a fan base
Same. I'm jealous you're 6 months ahead of me...
THAT PART!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🌈🦋 Thank you Joy 🫶🏻
