Taking The Heat (T)
Emerging singer, songwriter, and musician Joy Oladokun releases the "complete" edition of her highly anticipated major label debut album, in defense of my own happiness, via Amigo Records/Verve Forecast/Republic Records.
With in defense of my own happiness, Oladokun offers an enchanting style, sharing the unique perspective she’s gained from living in today’s world as a Black, queer woman and first-generation child of Nigerian immigrants. Born in Arizona and now living in Nashville, her musical exploration began at age ten when she was inspired to learn guitar after seeing a video of Tracy Chapman—the first time she’d ever seen a Black woman play the instrument.
This new edition builds on the original 14-song release with a whopping 10 new tracks!
