Long drives to nowhere, dirty sidewalks, and long summer nights in childhood bedrooms, while aimless, are in many ways experiences central to youth that are often overlooked and forgotten. In LOONY’s EP JOYRiDE, the Canadian R&B singer aims to relive, process, and understand her own experiences, making the excitement, confusion, and coincident boredom of being young and restless common themes in each track. Released on April 23, 2020, JOYRiDE lends itself well to these unprecedented times: as millions of us are thrust back into places we had left behind, we are also pushed to reminisce about our past selves and changing the way we saw past-selves. As she puts it, we all were and currently are just trying to “stay as sane as possible in isolation.”
