Joni shares details of her forthcoming debut album, Things I Left Behind
London-based songwriter Joni has announced her debut album, Things I Left Behind, alongside the release of its title track.
Speaking about "Things I Left Behind", Joni calls it "a reflection on how we're all made up of the things we've lost and left behind. People. Places. Experiences. While writing the lyrics, I was having all these vivid images from my past rush by, almost like lights when you're driving in a tunnel. Little things and big things. Scraping my knee as a kid. Falling in love for the first time. Losing love. Taking mushrooms and calling my childhood best friend. Lying on the grass at night. It's painful to realise you can't hold onto these things physically, but ultimately comforting to know that they sort of become you and you carry them along in some way."
Joni has also announced a headline London show in support of the album, taking place on 8 March at Servant Jazz Quarters (SJQ).
