It is not always easy to collect your most hidden emotions into a song. It takes introspective work, self-awareness and dedication to the cause. Corinna Joy ticked all the boxes, providing deep, wholesome pieces exploring the whole spectrum of the human experience. Celebrating a strong acoustic aesthetic, the American talent has long navigated the treacherous waters of artistic creation: a gifted songwriter and performer, Joy finds her perfect home in jazz-flavoured settings, developing a personal yet relatable lyrical style, blending pop and jazz in a single eclectic package.
Following up on a two years hiatus, the Pennsylvania resident returns on the scene just in time for Christmas, offering a warm and fragile gem many will be resonating with. ‘The Very Best of Me’ is a truly stunning song. An honest and heartfelt lyrical composition, with no other goals than offering solace and reckoning to its listeners. Corinna Joy’s evocative, soulful vocals are the perfect fit for the record’s poignant, intimate production.
This a precious gift from Corinna Joy, for all of us. A gift we’ll be greatly cherishing this Christmas season. Describing the inspiration behind ‘The Very Best of Me’, the acclaimed songwriter explains: “The chaotic noises you hear at the beginning and the end of the track are actually the very first recording of my son’s heartbeat, which inspired this song. I dedicate this song to him, but also to the village that has helped me to raise this kid in love – especially Chris Jackson, the very best partner in this parenting business (and in the recording studio, too).”
