First Word Records is proud to bring you ‘The Making of Silk’, the brand new album from Allysha Joy.

Allysha Joy is a deeply-dedicated singer, songwriter, producer & keys player hailing from Naarm (Melbourne), known for both her solo work and as front woman for 30/70. A uniquely-talented artist, her husky soulful voice, formidable Fender Rhodes prowess and raw poeticism has garnered legions of attentive fans the world over.

As an integral performer in the modern day jazz-soul scene, previous support has included selectors Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova & Huey Morgan (BBC 6 Music), Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2), China Moses (Jazz FM) & Laurent Garnier (PBB France), along with stations such as NTS, Lot Radio, KEXP & KCRW, and publications like OkayPlayer, Dazed and The Vinyl Factory.

Along with a recent foray into the USA market with a string of successful shows, Allysha Joy has performed alongside acts such as Snarky Puppy, The Teskey Brothers, PJ Morton, Kokoroko and Children of Zeus, to name a few.

Joy has previously released two full-length solo albums 'Acadie : Raw' in 2018, 'Torn : Tonic' in 2022 and an EP, 'Light It Again' in 2020, along with countless collaborations and features over the past few years.

This new work is entirely self-produced and written by Joy, and is a testament to her growth as an artist.

On the themes of the album she says it is about “a new understanding of the meaning of love. The kind that bell hooks writes about and that lives in the poetry of Mary Oliver, Hafiz and the heartache and compassion of James Baldwin. A love that we don’t normally see in the movies or hear in songs, it’s complex in its desire to be ever evolving and responsive to climate, moving with the wind and waning of our own hearts and minds and capacities. It’s about a love that is compassionate and that lives in open conversation, deep listening, the front lines of social movement and abolitionism. It’s about a love that could never seek ownership or want to silence or squander the light in another. It’s about accepting that no love can stop us from facing our inevitably lone nature, to exist in this body and mind collectively and in total isolation. It’s about accepting the impermanence of love and still forever wanting to prove it wrong, to say that I understand that all things change, all things end, hurt exists, but I will love regardless." 

‘The Making of Silk’ is due to released on vinyl & digital worldwide, on September 13th 2024.
