Joy Crookes' self

The South London singer joins Zan Rowe to Take 5.It’s so good to be back with a new Take 5 in the feed! ICYMI, over the last few weeks I’ve been off making Take 5 into a TV show. We’ve captured some incredible conversations with big names, everywhere from Melbourne to Los Angeles, to Nashville Tennesee. Take 5 will be coming to ABC TV later in 2022, and in the meantime, I’m stoked to be back where it all began; here in your ears on the Take 5 podcast. And what a return we have, with Joy Crookes.The South London singer grabbed us as soon as we heard her first single, and she held us with her debut album Skin; a rich capture of the place, people, and sounds that have made her.With so much genre hopping in her own record, I was curious to find out the songs that reflect her self, from others. And she delivered. This is beautiful conversation about community, connection, heart, and how history informs Joy Crookes future. From Solange, to Mariem Hassan, to D’Angelo, this is the musical DNA of Joy Crookes.Mad (ft.
