Australian songwriter Allysha Joy has unveiled her latest album, The Making Of Silk, through First Word Records. Known for her significant contributions to the Melbourne/Naarm creative community, Joy blends various musical styles, intertwining elements of club music, soul, jazz, and R&B into a distinctive soundscape that sets her apart in the industry.
This self-produced album encapsulates a reflection of Joy's personal journey, featuring lyrics that delve into themes of love and self-acceptance. In a statement surrounding her artistic vision, Joy remarked, "It's the kind of love that bell hooks writes about, that lives in the poetry of Mary Oliver, Hafiz and the passionate dreaming of a Koryusai painting. It's about a love that is compassionate, that lives in open conversation, deep listening, the front lines of social movement, and would never seek to stifle the light in you. It's about accepting our aloneness, the impermanence of all things and still forever wanting to prove it wrong."
The Making Of Silk marks a significant evolution for Joy as an artist, showcasing her ability to traverse complex emotional landscapes while offering a fresh perspective on significant themes. The sincerity and depth of her lyrics resonate deeply with listeners, addressing both broader social themes and personal introspection.
Listeners and fans of the vibrant Melbourne music scene, as well as those who appreciate heartfelt and authentic songwriting, are encouraged to explore this meaningful collection. The Making Of Silk is now available for streaming.
