South-African Dutch artist Joya Mooi releases her new single, "Lookalike," this Friday. The smooth and cool R&B single gives the singer a fresh, introspective look into her sound without sacrificing talent. Heavy at times when it needs to be, Mooi stretches herself to the limits with this record. "Lookalike" manages to nestle into the burrows of the ears and blooms into a full earworm.
Compared to Mooi's last EP, Open Hearts, the singer keeps her creative roots and uses background cultural influences over poetic vocals. Underneath the layers of the track, Joya Mooi keeps pace with the overall arching theme of the single, loss.
"Lookalike" is very much in pace with the title. Joya Mooi talks about seeing the face of her later brother in many people and learning how to cope with that. It puts things into perspective, where humans continue to use art to express the passing of loved ones.
