allysha joy: light it again
Francisco Espregueira
Light It Again is the awaited debut of Allysha Joy in the reputable First Word Records imprint. Produced and engineered by the vision of Clever Austin, Light It Again is a 4-track EP that explores a variety of grooves and deep lyricism that marks a defiant statement of intimacy and hope - showcasing a new sound for the young artist, transmitting her honest and raw expression through the signature crunch and sonic landscape created by Austin.
Allysha Joy has been an integral member of the Melbourne soul jazz scene, known as part of the acclaimed 30/70 Collective and for her own equally revered solo work - filled with potent lyricism, unique musicianship and killer vocals. Following her acclaimed debut album, Acadie : Raw from 2018, Light It Again touches on love, shame, mental health, grief & spirituality, featuring the contributions of an all-star set of Melbourne musicians: Horatio Luna, Ziggy Zeitgeist, Danika Smith and Josh Kelly. Available in vinyl via First Word Records, this is another chapter in Allysha’s meditative, raw soul, groovy discography.
