Joy Crookes has released a new single, I Know You’d Kill.
The South London artist is currently in creative mode, with the vulnerable, soulful offering following on from last month's Kano collaboration Mathematics, and January's single Pass The Salt featuring Vince Staples.
Inspired by Crookes' long-time manager, it draws on an experience the singer had at Glastonbury Festival, where she questioned whether she was surrounded by the right people. Crookes explained:
"I Know You’d Kill is a song I wrote for my manager, Charlie, because I tripped balls at Glastonbury and believed someone in our team was bad news. I panicked so much I almost cried. In an effort to reassure me, she turns to me and goes 'you know Nay (a friend of Joy's) and I would kill for you'. My lack of sobriety, her presence and my trust in her made her look so literally shiny. I couldn’t even look at her because she was glittering."
Last month, Crookes performed an intimate show at London's Islington Assembly Hall as part of BRITs Week for War Child. She'll also play the New Music Stage at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool on May 25, and make her third appearance at Glastonbury Festival on June 29.
She put out her debut album, 'Skin', in 2021.
