Maracuya EP is a blend of sensory elements, emotions, and cultural influences. The first track, Maracuya, transports the listener to Cali, Colombia's lively and bustling market streets. By adding organic recordings, profound soundscapes, syncopated jazz breaks, acid modulations, and ethereal vocals, Joiah aims to create a multi-sensory experience that goes beyond just auditory stimuli. She desires to engage the listener on a deeper level by evoking a sense of place and atmosphere. The second track, Reflections, describes the transition from a house setting to a vibrant club scenario, an inner debate that shifts into a pleasing dance experience. The song comprises progressive breaks, mellow chord progressions, and sensual vocals Joiah sings.
This EP perfectly represents Joiah’s versatile nature as an artist, focusing on both listener and dancer simultaneously
