http://i8.tinypic.com/25a3k90.jpg German born, Joy Denalane's album is bubblin... Joy Denalane was born as the third child and oldest daughter to both a German mother and a South African father in Berlin-Schoneberg in 1973. A little later on the family moved to Kreuzberg where Joy spend her childhood with her five siblings. At the age of 16 she left home and started focusing on music with first stage performances and the joining of Reggae and Soul bands like "Culture Roots" and "Family Affair". With 19 she was signed to a major pop label but unfortunately both the singer and the management weren't able to pass a unanimous resolution when it came to the conception of music and image and Joy asked for a release. Afterwards she moved to Stuttgart where she met DJ Thomilla and Tiefschwarz (two already well-known producers then) with whom she co-wrote and produced the club hit "Music". Guest appearances by Lupe, Raekwon and Governor mix it up on a few of the songs and add to the album. But, shorty can hold it down solo. Solid mix of soulful singing with a strong hip-hop influence and presence, seldom since since MJB hit the scene. Not to compare the voices though because Joy's isn't as strong as Mary's but she still carries it well over tracks. Plus, you always gotta give credit to an artist who strikes out with a touch of activism on tracks, esp during this time when others are either nuetral, too timid to speak out or caught up in the glamour and glitz. http://www.joydenalane.com/ http://www.myspace.com/wwwmyspacecomjoymaureendenalanea http://www.sendspace.com/file/q1vj7d http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TSEWK5OF 1.Change feat.
