iTunes Review
An immensely skilled songstress from the Bay Area, Joyo Velarde has been putting in work for years, collaborating extensively with the Quannum collective and touring the world with Lyrics Born. She blessed listeners with the tropical single "Sweet Angels" in 2001, and many heads have been patiently waiting for her long delayed debut album. This five-song EP is itself a teaser for the full-length Love & Understanding, running through a gamut of styles and influences, all the while maintaining Velarde's own unique sound. Her multi-octive range recalls both Minnie and Mariah, but she also incorporates jazz, blues, prog-rock, and even opera into her unique soundscapes. "Build This World" sports trippy keyboards and dreamy but strong vocals, while "Take You Home" is a feel-good club joint about losing yourself to the music, with whip-smart funk instrumentation and inspirational lyrics that speak to the stressed out masses. "The Way We Are" is a breezy celebration of true love and "Feels Right" blends autobiographical verses with a minimal but ferociously rugged beat.
Customer Reviews
It is about time!
Fans of Lyric's Born should definitely know the soulful and powerful voice that has added that extra 'spice' to many of LB's albums. As a fan of the Quannum Records gang, it is absolutely fantastic to see Joyo Velarde given a platform to truly shine on her own. The first five tracks (really four plus a bonus) are a nice tease that will leave many wanting more - here's hoping we will see more from Joyo Velarde! It is about dang time...
Buy this EP if
Joyo's voice is so beautiful- very full, controlled, trained, yet spontaneous. All she needs is a legit push and she'll be huge! I'm so glad that she's finally released something! I've been waiting since seeing her at the Maritime Hall in SF, back when she dropped "Sweet Angel". Go Joyo!
LP
Love the EP. It leaves me wanting a full album. Get that out as soon as possible.
