I HEART MOOSIQ, On one of my daily YouTube music trawling…
On one of my daily YouTube music trawling expeditions, I came across a stunning artist from France named joanna and the video for her latest French language single, Vénus. I was immediately struck by the ringing beauty of its haunting avant-pop and dramatic yet classy R&B pop, as well as its video’s gothic magnetism. Vénus channels shades of Sevdaliza’s dark contortion and slivers of Rosalia’s vivid pageantry. Unfortunately, especially with my lack of French comprehension, I know very little else about joanna. But a deeper dive did uncover her prior single and video, Oasis, which you can view below in all its moody smoldering splendor. Vénus is available as a single, here.
