JOYA MOOI

I can’t stop playing Joya Mooi.  I first discovered her when I saw this video for her first single, “When I Take a Step Back” from her debut album Hard Melk. This ode to heartbreak, which most of us can relate to, struck me visually with the faded scenes and sun panning o the songstress. Her voice tip-toes over her music, recalling Jill Scott at times and Yukimi Nagano in others.

The Dutch singer was kind enough to let us post these two tracks until Hard Melk hits iTunes in the U.S. Preview the tracks here and download these two via [ZShare]. Let us know what you think!
