Product Overview
Step into Juniper, the highly anticipated second album from Joy Crookes. Written during a period of personal upheaval, the record reflects both the challenges and the solace she found in the studio. “I was in the trenches,” Crookes explains. “But the studio became my solace. What you hear is live and direct from that time.”
Despite its heavy origins, Juniper radiates warmth and resilience, pairing Crookes’ soulful voice with striking arrangements and inventive songwriting. The album balances intimacy and strength, with standout moments like “Brave,” “Pass The Salt” (featuring Vince Staples), and the stirring “First Last Dance.”
Born in South London to Bangladeshi and Irish parents, Joy Crookes blends soul, R&B, and pop with storytelling rooted in identity, culture, and self-reliance. Since her Mercury Prize-nominated debut Skin, Crookes has emerged as one of Britain’s most distinctive voices. Fans of Jorja Smith, Amy Winehouse, and Arlo Parks will be deeply moved by Juniper.
