Info for Let Yourself Be Loved

New German R&B artist has dropped her first album “Let Yourself Be Loved” on Motown. The talented singer has actually been doing her thing overseas for more than a decade as she’s released a handful of German albums.

In Let Yourself Be Loved, Joy Denalane presents her definitive soul statement. The album is in equal parts an act of self-assertion, genealogical research and homage to the great classics of the genre. A musical masterpiece in which she deftly brings together all the strands of her earlier work.

In the beginning was the idea. And if everything was always as seductively simple and easy as the best soul songs sound, then the execution of this idea would probably have been nothing more than child’s play: “I wanted to make a classic soul album,” says Joy Denalane. “Stylistically I was looking for inspiration from the period around the end of the 1960s to 1973.”

Let Yourself Be Loved is permeated by Joy Denalane’s experiences as a black woman in Germany’s diaspora. When she was a child and a teenager there were very few black people in Germany, and there was no sound that addressed their day-to-day experience of racism and marginalisation.
