Saint for a Sinner

'Saint For A Sinner' is a stunning collection of heartfelt, honest, real-life experiences, observations and stories that will both move and inspire you.

On 'Saint For A Sinner' Joy has truly found her sound; one that portrays the intimacy and honesty of her songwriting, while her voice transcends the layers of live musicianship beneath. To create this sound Joy enlisted the help of hugely talented multi-instrumentalist producer Rupert Cobb (Kasabian, Snow Patrol, Damien Rice, Ray LaMontagne) with whom she had previously worked. Thanks to Rupert's expert touch and a bevy of outstanding musicians such as Tristan Banks (Turin Brakes, Brand New Heavies), Roger Carey, Andy Williams and Peter Van Hooke (Van Morrison, Dr.John) the album is testament to the talent behind it.

Joy's gifts for unforgettable melody and eloquently poetic lyrics are apparent on first listen of the album. Her soaring Kate Bush like vocals and effortless range marry seamlessly with the rich haunting piano ballads and Summer inspired guitar-driven songs to beautiful effect.

'Saint For A Sinner' also embraces a new style of guitar-driven songwriting for Joy, with her band's guitarist Matt Marks having co-written four of the album tracks with her. The result is a beautiful collection of uplifting, catchy, feel good songs, namely 'Home', 'With This Love', 'A Thousand Miles' and album entitled track 'Saint For A Sinner' . The songs lend a fitting contrast to Joy's piano ballads, resulting in a very exciting and impressive conceptual debut album. As she says, "This album is the culmination of so many years of writing and it is beyond doubt the best thing by far I have ever recorded. As I sing in 'Parachutes', "Still how I strive to find the silver lining"; in recording and releasing this album, for me, I have finally found the 'silver lining'."
