Great vibes and catchy lines set the mood with ease, Monark Ishere delivering an uplifting but smooth and intimate ode to love, with the likable afrobeat earworm Jay Joycie.
Lush production blends organic layers of guitar and keys with a summer-ready afrobeat rhythm that naturally lifts the energy of the room. Bring in the vocals of Monark Ishere, snappy lines for the verse, a story that’s simple and appreciative, and as we build towards the infectious drop of the hook, the track is naturally a hit.
Easily one of the most memorable songs of this genre to emerge in 2024, Jay Joycie has the makings of a globally successful single in many ways – the melody is quick to work its way into your headspace, the beat is finely produced, and the vocals, the energy and the subject matter, all feels personal and authentic, thus relatable, in a way that makes this easy to call the song your own.
Just two-minutes forty in full but inspired by the greats and welcoming a twist of identity in the voice, in the guitar sounds and the quirky rise and fall of the tune, Jay Joycie stands out musically just as effectively as its title. Monark Ishere leads with humility and warmth, and it works.
