joan - cloudy

If you were wondering what N*SYNC might sound like if they were reincarnated as an Arkansas duo in 2020, here are joan. EP ‘cloudy’ is a euphoric 6-track sleek-pop journey, full of 90s-drenched nostalgia paired with irresistible modern licks, that charts growing up, learning from past mistakes and falling in and out of love. From the unabridged cute AF stories of ballad-y ‘magnetic’ and synth-heavy ‘cover girl’, to the LANY-esque ‘love me better’ with its big mood opening lines of “I love you but, right now you suck” and the lovelorn closer ‘brokenhearted’, it’s chock-a-block full of pop bops destined to make you feel all the feels.
