Private Joy
Described as " delicious... tactile and ultra-dreamy" ,the charismatic vocalist, composer and producer is increasingly know for her chameleon-like but signature sound, ranging from sultry seduction, to hard-hitting dancefloor ballad.
Founder of the Lovescene neo-soul collective, and central to the growing neo-soul scene in the UK’s North; Private Joy aka Pops Roberts has released with Gerd Janson’s International Feel, Local Action/2 B Real, soundtracked Pikes Ibiza and won Bill Brewster’s much coveted "Furtive 50 Track of the Year" in 2022 with ‘dream-team’ collaborator Ruf Dug.
Likened to Sade, Anita Baker vocally, Private Joy blossoms on this debut EP over a heady blend of alternative RnB, neo-soul, lo-fi, broken and afrobeats as she establishes her place in the ever-evolving UK scene. Known widely for her contributions to the dancefloor, her debut solo work shows other intimate, vulnerable and incorrigible strings to her bow.
As a producer, Private Joy is soon to drop highly anticipated, releases drawing from street-soul, electronic, afrobeat, RnB and broken-beat with live shows to follow, along with exciting future collaborations after a string of highly acclaimed releases with Ruf Dug, Mera Bhai, FINN, Redeye, Satl and Lenzman.
