Joy Crookes – JuniperFormat: Vinyl Following the success of her 2021 debut Skin—which earned BRIT and Mercury Prize nominations, charted in the UK Top 5, and received acclaim from outlets like The Guardian and NME—Joy Crookes returns with Juniper, a bold and deeply personal second album. Defined by its emotional candor and sonic richness, Juniper showcases Crookes’ growth as both a songwriter and performer. Produced with longtime collaborators Blue May (Kano, Jorja Smith), Tev’n (Stormzy), and Harvey Grant (Arlo Parks), the album is a stripped-back yet dynamic collection of songs exploring love, resilience, identity, and mental health. Highlights include the sharp and fiery “Pass the Salt” featuring Vince Staples, and the tender “Mathematics” featuring Kano. Through it all, Crookes remains a once-in-a-generation voice: funny, fearless, and profoundly human. Track Listing Side A Brave Pass the Salt (feat.
