Who Is Joy Jones? Why Be Her Husband?




She's done an interesting and great remix to Nina Simone's "Be My Husband". It's still simple but the driving afro-beat keeps you interested and intrigued.

I'll let her tell you more about herself and her debut album Godchild:

Afro-beat lullabies, future jazz protest songs and electronic hymns is how I would best describe the collection of ditties that is my debut full-length album, Godchild. I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about what I want to say and the messages that I want to put out. This has been a complete labor of love and I hope that it translates and transforms into a tool for change. Thank to some fabulous folk, incredible blessings, good ole fashioned elbow grease and divine unction, we are finally here. For starters, you can check the new 12" out on Love Jones Recordings/Recordbreakin. You can get yo vinyl on or check for it on itunes! Godchild, the album, will be dropping early 2009 so stayed tuned for details. I look forward to sharing it with you. Until then, this is your girl Joy...always on the grind, in the shine, trying to pay my rent on time!

Teach Me Again - Tina Turner & Elisa



This is an older song and video but I still really love it and think it should be seen by more. The GREAT Tina Turner paired up with Italian singer Elisa for this song that is on the soundtrack for "All the Invisible Children".
