Info for in defense of my own happiness (complete)

Following the release of her critically acclaimed album, Nashville-based singer-songwriter and producer Joy Oladokun unveils the "complete" installment of her album series, in defense of my own happiness. The timeless body of work eloquently exudes Joy's deep emotions and confessional leanings as a black woman living in America. This is only the start of a breakout year for the fast-rising Nigerian-American songstress. Includes new songs "judas" and "the beginnings" chapter.

With a guitar in hand, baseball cap over her eyes, and hooded sweatshirt loose, a woman sings with all of the poetry, pain, passion, and power her soul can muster. She is a new kind of American troubadour. She is Joy Oladokun. The Delaware-born, Arizona-raised, and Nashville-based Nigerian-American singer, songwriter, and producer projects unfiltered spirit over stark piano and delicate guitar. Her music and story galvanized a growing fan base as she completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to release her independent debut, Carry. Her song "No Turning Back" soundtracked a viral baby announcement by Ciara and Russell Wilson, opening up the floodgates. She landed a string of high-profile syncs, including NBC's This Is Us, ABC's Grey's Anatomy, and Showtime's The L Word: Generation Q. On the heels of in defense of my own happiness (the beginnings), she garnered unanimous critical praise. Billboard touted the album as one of the "Top 10 Best LGBTQ Albums of 2020," while NPR included "i see america" among the "100 Best Songs of 2020." Predicted as on the verge of a massive breakthrough, she emerged on various tastemaker lists, including Spotify's RADAR Artists to Watch 2021, YouTube "Black Voices Class of 2021," NPR's 2021 "Artists To Watch," and Amazon Music's "Artist To Watch 2021." Not to mention, Vogue crowned her #1 "LBTQ+ Musician To Listen To." She kicked off the new year by making her television debut on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with a stunning and stirring performance of "breathe again."
