Having debuted only a few months ago, Joey Pappas has been putting herself on the map as one of Adelaide’s most interesting talents. Championing an eclectic sound that stands between R&B, pop and hip-hop stylings, the young songstress navigates the ins and outs of human nature with charm and elegance, crowning it all with her evocative and punchy vocals.
‘So cold’ is Pappas’ latest effort, a dive into heavier hip-hop territories and a more minimal production. Drenched in hypnotising energy, the single moves at a relatively slow pace, sustained on a skeletal bouncy beat and obscure synthetisers. Joey’s vocals claim the top spot on such a witty arrangement, capturing the listener’s attention and weaving in and out of rapping and singing.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘So cold’, Joey explains: “A chilling reflection of emotional numbness and existential dread. It delves into the acceptance of being misunderstood, finding strange tranquillity amidst the chaos”.
