Joy Wellboy's 2nd album 'Wedding' is out now
Belgian band Joy Wellboy (Joy Adegoke and Wim Janssens) operates from Berlin to be in close contact with their trendy record label BPitch Control Records, a German techno record label founded by dj and producer Ellen Allien that launched the careers of artists such as Modeselektor, Apparat and Paul Kalkbrenner.
Joy Wellboy’s second album is finished and titled "Wedding", named after the district where they live in Berlin. "Wedding" opens up with "Painkiller nights", a song where Joy's characteristic voice is only backed up by a cheap preset choir coming out of a Casio keyboard.
She sets the tone for a trip that will take you through a wildly miscellaneous universe. Pristine songs like" I just wanna fall" and "I've ordered some sun", stand right next to more epic tracks like "Time's A Runaway Train" or the 3 tone drone "I Will Never Let You
Down". Their love for french music can be heard in the arrangements of "Don't Die In My Dreams "and "The Final Still" or in the up tempo song "Comme Sur Des Roulettes".
The retro futuristic feel of "Latency" and "Stay here forevermore" will push you further and pull you back again, like a drowning experience. The radiating energy during their live shows is captured well in a track like "Within Another Dimension".
"The Magic" with its bouncy beat and brilliant pop melody delivers the message loud and clear :"Don't be scared!". The opening line "You are in heaven, I am in hell" from "I'm waiting you" grabs you immediately and doesn't let go for the next three minutes.
The album captures the mood of these two individuals perfectly. Sometimes danceable, mostly intense and in the end also just simply cool.
