Zimbabwean artist JoyRukanza (formerly known as JØY) has released her album, ‘MatterMoreForSis,’ on June 23rd, coinciding with the day she was born.
JoyRukanza collaborated with talents from Zimbabwe, South Africa, Tanzania, Croatia, Morocco, Singapore, the UK, and the USA to bring this transformative album to life.
‘MatterMoreForSis’ explores the intricate journey of love, healing, and empowerment through the lens of a woman who rediscovers the power of love after heartbreak.
The album inherently tells the story of a woman and her different experiences with unrequited love.
It uses the power of a double-barrelled title to reference metamorphosis - a scientific transformation from an immature to an adult form in distinct stages.
When asked about the release, JoyRukanza had the following to say:
“This project has been ongoing for nearly three years and will finally be available for the world to hear on my birthday. What a full-circle moment! I have worked with the most amazing human beings in the world and learned so much. I'm grateful for your patience and support and cannot wait for you to hear my story”.
