Pure Joy - Earthings (2023) [Hi-Res]

Third creation of Pure Joy for ABEAT. The journey of the artist Pure Joy begins in 2018 with the release of his first album entitled “Spirit of the wood”. A path of creative research dedicated to the strength and beauty of nature (inspired by the Chinese philosophy of Wu-Xing). On the threshold of 2020, the second work “Firedance” was released, with the collaboration of important artists on the Italian scene such as Stefano D’Anna, Fausto Beccalossi, Guido Bombardieri, Giovanni Amato and Emanuele Cisi. EARTHINGS is now the fruit of two years of forced silence due to the pandemic. The total impossibility of holding concerts gave the opportunity to write a lot of music and also to reflect deeply on the world, to observe nature again.

Hence the concept of the album: the importance that everything has its seasons, like every element of nature where everything is strongly interconnected: the trees with their leaves and roots, the animals in the life cycle, the men of every culture, race and religion, what has been and what will be.

From the liner notes written by Joy Grifoni herself, alias Pure Joy: “Everything else is just names carried by the wind. We are all migrants on this earth, a land that is an element of life, of strength, of hope. Our great journey continues and our great ship is an artistic dimension in which there must be maximum acceptance of the different, from which we can learn an important missing piece.”
