Joy Crookes’ Juniper is a fearless, emotionally raw, and sonically rich sophomore album, cementing her as one of the UK’s most vital voices. Building on the acclaim of 2021’s Skin, the record blends humour, heartbreak, and humanity, with standout features from Vince Staples (Pass The Salt) and Kano (Mathematics).
Produced with longtime collaborators, Juniper explores themes of queer love, mental health, body politics, and the highs and lows of falling in love, with lead singles like I Know You’d Kill and First Last Dance showcasing Crookes’ lyrical agility and musical depth. A record of resilience and self-expression, it channels both personal struggle and triumph with raw immediacy and cinematic scope.
