THIS IS: Joy Crookes

Soul has a new diva and her name is Joy.

At her 23, this South London-based woman has become the new international soul diva. With his debut album Skin (2021, Insanity Records), an "autobiographical body of work" inspired by her British-Irish-Bangladeshi heritage, as well as her experiences of young adulthood, heartbreak and identity, amazed critics and audiences with her precocious talent.

Primarily a modern soul record with elements of R&B, jazz, pop and trip-hop with precious orchestral string arrangements, make Skin an instant classic.

THIS IS: BABYMETAL

When J-pop meets metal.

BABYMETAL is an idol band from Japan that mixes teen vocals with screams and dark instrumentation. Call it kawaii metal or whatever, they invented a so addictive new sound that works perfectly.



Moreover, the staging is pretty awesome with simple but impressive coreographies and various special effects including lightning lights and fireworks.



On April 1st they released their new album METAL RESISTANCE (AMUSE/Sony Music, 2016), with the single "Karate".



Be careful, you could be hooked with a listen ^_^
