Humorous and provocative in equal measure, ‘Pass The Salt’ is the first single in a new era of music that continues to establish Joy as one of the UK’s most outstanding vocalists and one of our most gifted songwriters. She’s a once-in-a-generation artist.

The demanding bass of ‘Pass The Salt’ is a bitingly glorious dismissal of a person who tried to cross Joy and features one of rap’s most gifted and respected performers, Vince Staples. Speaking on the track, Joy explains: “‘Pass the Salt’ is about a woman I know vaguely, who is nothing short of an arsehole, who got jealous and started spreading rumours about me. The song is basically me squaring up (musically) and being like ok bitch if u have something to say come say it to my face.”

Joy hasn’t been afraid to take her time before returning to the spotlight – she has taken stock over the past three years and returned with a meaningful arsenal of music, determined not to lose the spirit that had so informed her debut album; the deeply intimate and voraciously vibrant Skin in 2021. The album traversed familial love, generational trauma, breakups, and politics from the perspective of a young South London woman.
