The Sewing Circle
Joy Oladokun
In this episode of The Sewing Circle, join us for a conversation with Joy Oladokun, a talented artist whose latest album, 'OBSERVATIONS FROM A CROWDED ROOM,' came out October 2024. In this thoughtful conversation, we discuss inspiration, empathy, performance, what’s next, and lots more.
Her work, which blends everything from folk to pop, rock, and R&B, is focused on connection and the universality of music. "Being black and queer on planet earth is lonely," Oladokun said. "It's even one of the things I said on my last album. If I stopped making music tomorrow, I would be okay with it because I've seen corners of the world and a sense of community that I didn't think I would ever see. And so that's the goal for me—let's create something that feels universal."
