Joy Guidry details forthcoming album, Five Prayers
Joy Guidry has announced the forthcoming album, Five Prayers, alongside the release of the brand new single, “Hold and Be Held”.
The first single, “Hold and Be Held”, arrives as a response to the words of Nikki Giovanni’s poem This World Is Not A Pleasant Place To Be. “I began to pray in new ways,” shares Guidry on the forthcoming release. “These prayers came in the form of sonic meditations and poetry. They embraced more silence and solitude.”
As writer Kehinde Alonge reflects in the album’s linear notes: “The listener of these prayers can find the will to become a prayer itself—transient yet resolved by the strength of its insistence to demand the refuge of what could always be."
Tracklist:
- Convince Me To Stay
- You've Done What You Can
- Hold and Be Held
- Myles
- I Know You're Always With Me
Five Prayers will be released on 16 May via Jaid Records, and is available to pre-order now.
