PREMIERE: Joi N'Juno - Wake Up Song [Canopy]

Artist: Joi N'Juno Track: Wake Up Song Release title: Samemala Label: Canopy Release date: 01-Nov-24 Buy: https://linktr.ee/samemala "Joi N'Juno - Samemala (The album)", is the debut album from Joi N'Juno and heralds the second long player released on the Canopy imprint. David Baluteau aka Joi N'Juno is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and full-time studio engineer with many years honing his craft. David earned his stripes as founder, composer and lead singer of the cult French drum & bass-electro-punk band "La Phaze" which has been running successfully for 25 years and recently concluded an extensive 2-year tour. Now focusing on this new chapter in his creative journey, Joi N'Juno serves up an album that is at the same time both fresh & mature. The album encompasses a range of influences, from classic 70s and 80s disco vibes a la Niles Rogers, zouk boogie from Kassav, afro funk vibes from Nigeria as well as modern disco house motifs. The resulting concoctions are aimed at the dance floor, whilst retaining a certain "pop" appeal in their catchy sing-along compositions. Punchy production, funky guitars, groovy bass lines and infectious vocal melodies combine with dextrous keyboard wizardry, culminating in a fusion that has wide appeal both on and off the dance floor.
