Joy Crookes offers up new single ‘Trouble’
Her debut album, ‘Skin’, arrives later this week!
Ahead of the release of her debut album ‘Skin’ this Friday, Joy Crookes is sharing new single ‘Trouble’.
“‘Trouble’ is a song about a constant argument with a family member,” she explains. “It got to the point where I realised that fundamentally as much as we could clash, we both wanted to be on each other’s side “your trouble’s the same as mine”. It’s a cliche but we really do hurt the ones we love - it’s because we know we can and that the love will always be there.”
