A death and two goodbyes: The new and sixth Joy Denalane album will be released on 6 October 2023. “WILLPOWER” tells of letting go, of grief, but also of a newly won freedom – and of self-empowerment. A leap into the unknown with wildly oscillating Happysad soul of irrepressible intensity.

11 new tracks, including a feature with Wu-Tang Clan legend Ghostface Killah and produced by Roberto Di Gioia – as well as with Max Herre. On some selected tracks on “WILLPOWER”, none other than the US jazz musician Tim Lefebvre, who most recently led the band with which David Bowie recorded his last album “Blackstar”, plays the bass.

In Let Yourself Be Loved, Joy Denalane presents her definitive soul statement. The album is in equal parts an act of self-assertion, genealogical research and homage to the great classics of the genre. A musical masterpiece in which she deftly brings together all the strands of her earlier work.
