i bought 2 copies, the album is flawless, its her second best album to date.

A few years ago,she came out with a kickass jam called "Missing You".That song was HOT.Had a funky 70s vibe to it,and also very Prince-like.Why wasn't that song a big hit?

i bought joi's first album thinking it was joy cardwell..


she's aight...

just aight...

Where on line?

wait..second best? isnt this only her third album?

sosgemini said:

4th release.

untoldstoree said:

This is why you need real distribution. By doing this project on her own, it's been delayed for what seems like forever.

Graycap23 said:

it was delayed a few times on her own label, but 6 times when she was gonna release it on pookie/naverre. its good shes releasing it herself.

untoldstoree said:

Have you listened to her interview on Honey Soul? Interesting. I hope to run into her soon in Atlanta.

yeah it was very interesting, she gives very detailed and straight to the point anwsers without censoring, lol,

DavidEye said:

You should her live version of it on Raphael Saadiq's "Live at the House of Blues" CD. She RIPPED THAT SHIT!

StoneCrib said:

I was at that show. I didn't know Raphael or Joi could kick ass like that in a live show. Blew me away.....and I'm hard to impress when it comes to performing live.

Graycap23 said:

Now bear with me, because I was there too, and I've been to a lot of damn concerts and Saadiq's backing band was the tighest backing band I've ever seen and heard! No lie!

StoneCrib said:

You were there? Very cool. I saw them the night before down at the Belly up in San Diego too. When Rapheal mentioned Dangelo showing up, I had to roll to L.A.
There were tight as hell, but I've seen tighter.

The tightest 3 bands I've seen are Prince, Bootsy, and P-funk back in the day. Mint Condition can kick some butt live also.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah, when D' came out it was absolute pandamonium! I loved it! That was also the last time I saw D' alive basically! LOL!

Yeah, there are tighter bands that have been actual bands, but I was talkign about backing bands. Prince, Mint, and Bootsy/P-Funk are all bands that have been bands.

StoneCrib said:

Backing band....okay. I agree. They had their stuff together. Man that was a fun week for me. I saw a couple of other concerts that week. I was worn out for sure.

untoldstoree said:

and where can this album be purchased? I'm sure most stores won't be carrying it.

untoldstoree said:

is the album 70's funk like her earlier stuff??

i can't really describe it, lol, its somewhat of a mixture of genres, all i know is that its one of her best to date, i still wanna say amoeba cleaning was her best album but the more i listen to this one, it goes from 2nd best to tied.

Shake what your mama gave ya, it took her 9 damn months to make ya, only take one second to take your ouuuooouut.....
