Crookes has a long list of releases (including 3 Extended Plays) predating her long-awaited 2021 full-length debut, Skin. At the age of just 23, her lyrical ability shines on&nbsp;<em>Skin<\/em>, (and) Joy\u2019s storytelling resonates in a way that is nothing short of extraordinary and has rightly garnered much critical acclaim. Crookes takes her listener on a rollercoaster with her mature, powerful yet heart-wrenching compositions, of which this album has plenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crookes\u2019 heritage runs as a core motif in&nbsp;<em>Skin<\/em>; as a British-Irish-Bangladeshi woman, her truth is engrained within the lyrics in songs such as the political jibe \u2018<em>Kingdom<\/em>,\u2019 the feminist number \u2018<em>Power<\/em>\u2019 and her affectionate ode to her grandmother\u2019s London flat &#8211; \u2018<em>19th Floor<\/em>\u2019. Joy\u2019s multiplicity of identities is explored throughout the album as she laments the deeply problematic aspects of her daily life that she is forced to endure as a woman of colour from South London, such as oppressive gender roles, racism, and classism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Posted from: <a href=\"https:\/\/nouse.co.uk\/2021\/12\/07\/review-joy-crookes---skin\">https:\/\/nouse.co.uk\/2021\/12\/07\/review-joy-crookes&#8212;skin<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_54941\"  width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"  data-origwidth=\"1200\" data-origheight=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a6m-fT5a3qg?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joy Crookes has had a steady rise to fame, most prominently emerging on the British music scene when she was nominated in 2020 for the Rising Star Brit award.
