Joy Crooks, The Cat, And The Album Full Of Spiritual Wisdom.

The Brit Award-nominated singer is currently caring for her Burmese friend's pet, and this fosters some high passion from their little soccer ball. "If you don't eat my weekend cake, then you're doing all sorts of crap," laughed the 23-year-old singer.

For the next 40 minutes, our attempts to discuss their beautiful and vibrant debut album, Skin, were constantly interrupted by Nishu and Diego. They believed that an empty tuna can in the trash was a gourmet feast of indescribable sophistication.

"Oh, you're driving me crazy!" Crooks laughed and turned his camera to record the massacre. Messy imperfections are something like villains. Your music lives in a gray area of ​​life - a love affair that doesn't match at all; intergenerational trauma.

The songs are like Amy Winehouse, and absolutely no artist suffers from comparison. These are deep, piercing songs recorded with wisdom and hard-earned curiosity about their surroundings. The expansive jazz on the 19th floor reflects their Bangladeshi-Irish heritage and provides a sad look at the elephant gentrification of their home and the London Castle District.

City characters - taxi drivers, Tory neighbors, young people are discovering their sexuality, immigrants, and immigration protesters - are scattered throughout the shoot, telling Joy about their thoughts and experiences. "I think I'm only interested in people," said the 23-year-old. "I'm interested in the way we work. And that's why I talk to a lot of people.

"I don't have to agree with everyone, but I grew up in a very diverse city – and the community in this city – that flows into my music. I've always been." 

Against the backdrop of the cat's cheerfulness, he reveals the album's deepest secrets.

Before we get into anything else, may I congratulate you on putting the word malarkey into a song? Yes indeed! And I want to put music after song And banjaksiran. Your first album is a big deal. How do you prepare for the transition from singles and EPs to entire albums?

It starts unconsciously. You always know that an EP is almost like a warm-up to an actual album release. And I knew I wanted more - better songs, better producer scores. I wanted it to be stronger and more prominent, which meant if I had to rewrite the lyrics, I would rewrite the lyrics. So instead of just recording the string part in the living room, I did it at Abbey Road.

What was that?

We weren't there very long - about three hours - but that was a big deal. We had a whole string group playing music. I wrote when I was drunk and eating a bucket of chicken. That's crazy. I cried. You have to buy a bucket of chicken for the orchestra.
