The stellar track forms part of an incredible 2023 for the artist.
The state of the world and the increasingly remarkable things that we see in the media and on the news are pretty much to most of us a little bit perplexed and dumbfounded these days, and on her latest single ‘Joke’, Amy Jay explores the feeling of wondering if this world is for real and how these things can be happening.
The track showcases a more upbeat and rock-edged side to the artist’s signature melancholy indie-folk sound, matching her incredulous tone and thoughtful lyrics with a soundscape that feels equal parts engrossing and memorable, providing the perfect platform for her typically stellar vocals. The artist’s lyrics are sure to resonate with listeners in a big way, whether just down on your luck or in disbelief at what is going on around us, “Is it one big joke?” is something that many of us will have asked ourselves in the recent past.
