Discover South African-Dutch singer-songwriter, Joya Mooi’s Latest Track “Poster Child”, Inspired by Classic Art

Acclaimed South African-Dutch singer-songwriter Joya Mooi has dropped her latest single, Poster Child. Joya is gearing up to release her highly anticipated E.P., showcasing a profound exploration of identity, resilience, and self-discovery. This latest collection of music is a testament to Joya’s South African heritage, seamlessly blending with universal themes to create a compelling and immersive listening experience.

Joya Mooi’s music is a rich tapestry, infused with the warmth and vibrancy of her roots. Each track on the E.P. serves as a narrative thread, intertwining personal introspection with broader historical reflections. This mosaic of stories speaks to the collective human experience, offering both an intimate escape and a celebration of the strength found in vulnerability.

The upcoming E.P. reveals an artist in transition, balancing the weight of history and personal boundaries with the lighter, joyful moments of daily life. Joya’s evolution as a musician is evident, harmonizing introspection with celebration, and inviting listeners to join her in a shared exploration of life’s multifaceted journey.

The E.P.’s lead single, Poster Child, draws inspiration from Nola Hatterman’s 1930 painting, ‘Op het terras.’ Reflecting on the song, Joya explains,

“While I’ve previously penned songs about art, this particular piece made me think about all the people we gaze at in museums, yet know so little about. The song reflects on Lou Drenthe, did he ever know he got mistaken for someone else in this painting?”

Poster Child captures the essence of feeling unnoticed or unrecognized for who we truly are, echoing the untold stories of those often forgotten in history.

Joya’s music encourages a collective embrace of our histories, vulnerabilities, and the simple joys that stitch our days together.

Poster Child is available now on all major digital platforms. Stream here.
