Love this artist. Need so much more from her.

[@kimc1570]

Heard this at the end of And Just Like That, Season 2, Episode 10 (The Last Supper: Part 1) as the credits were rolling, and I had to find out who Joy Oladokun was! Beautiful song. Great work. Love this!

[@gregoryreed4866]

I recently discovered her and this song, I cannot stop listening to it

[@topherdean1024]

Your name is joy, but your songs make me weep. 💙🌏💚

[@skeltonpitts7121]

Yeah. Felt this

[@lynneanthony168]

Love this!! ❤

[@Akitten84]

Love the voice!!

[@michellem2892]

Joy! to the world!🎶🧡🎶

[@graceheinz408]

Omg you are an Amazing artist, ok forward to more of your beautiful voice.

[@hyperbolic-time-chamber-strand]

Tracy Chapman vibes are heavy in this one.

[@fat-gotenks]

My friend on bass :) love u

[@jeremyrhoads6899]

Beautiful song

[@lauriehammers4686]

Beautiful! Heard this was good and just had to stay up to see it. Very nice song.

[@michellem2892]

Beautiful nod of appreciation to one of her muses… and he would likewise appreciate her incredible , prolific talent. I saw Joy perform recently in Madison, Wisconsin and her show was superb…so amazing in fact that I’ll be traveling far and wide to have the privilege of experiencing her extraordinary talent again somewhere this summer on one of her other tour stops. I tried to see her the next night in Chicago but it was sold out (of course! as it should’ve been!). She and her music are such gifts to our weary hearts (🎶 Look Up! 🎶 and 🎶Sunday🎶) and I’m so grateful. Joy to the world!

[@TheIrishdude85]

Glad to see her back! The last song she did "Sunday" was also excellent. Nothing but talent and passion here😊

[@michellem2892]

I hope she comes back a 3rd time! and sings her amazing 🎶Look Up🎶🙄🤗 (A duet with Jon and piano would be amazing!!!!🤞🏻🙏👏🏻🎶🧡🌞🌸)

[@lillygoris693]

I’m ashamed I’ve never heard of her

[@javaturtlegirl]

Beautiful song. Thank you, sweet lady.

[@Michael-dy7zp]

Beautiful song and lyrics.

[@cutelittlemoose]

What a gorgeous tender voice she has-it's both powerful and gentle, syrupy-sweet and raw all at once... Doesn't hurt that the lyrics are there to heal and not rage (both have their place, but man, rage is all around without music fueling it more right now).

[@michellem2892]

We’ll said. I want what she’s having!

[@carothebaro1562]

can't wait for the release :D

[@rgwak]

Old people: "Wait a second, this isn't Purple Haze." 😉

[@mikegendron3723]

Did Tracy Chapman have a daughter? WOW!! Perfect.

[@belovedwoman9953]

What an incredibly talented singer-songwriter💜

[@lindaburton7440]

Skeptical at first but listened fully. Beautiful. I like her sound.

[@dreed1058]

I LOVE Joy - so thrilled she got this exposure, and look forward to her becoming more sucessful!! 😎😁

[@ronallen2458]

That looks like Ryan Lerman at stage left! That dude is an incredible musician. Great band! Sounds awesome.

[@user-pc3xb4hd8i]

Have no clue who she is just saw her on Colbert - WOW i’m hooked she’s amazing.

[@merlin5467]

First time I've heard of her. Great song and great voice. Original 😊

[@basilrose]

She's a wonderful talent with a mesmerizing voice and a beautiful message 💜

[@keitadarkwolf2591]

AH, she is a joy to listen to!

[@hangryaboutwhatever]

HOW does this only have 827 likes??? HOW????

[@dangry69]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. I can’t stop the tears when I listen. A rare gem.

[@curiousuranus810]

It's very different from the Hendrix version.

[@KameaMedia]

Nobody likes a wise-guy. LOL.

[@astralhorizons]

what a sweet tune

[@cookiea1728]

Wow...just wonderful!!!

[@joannejohnson7006]

What a BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE!⭐ Thank you ❤

[@quantum_shhhhart]

Tracy Chapman vibes here.. very cool

[@mattfetter4123]

Great talent, good song, hard to find talented musicians, that can sing and play . Instead of somebody lipsing, a recording , surrounded by a bunch of dancers.

[@davidhoward3376]

Not your Grandparents Purple Haze.....still good stuff!

[@geoffreytudor5674]

Thank you, Monsieur Colbert, for introducing me to another fine artiste. Beautiful!

[@erstone343]

So thrilled to see her on The Late Show!

[@paintedpony2935]

Sorry, but Purple Haze belongs to Jimmy Hendrix. this lovely song should be renamed.

[@Gojuninja]

Such impressive young talent! Beautiful song, thank you!

[@whatisron]

So crazy that she hasn't won Grammy's yet. We heard her on the podcast Song Exploder and were transfixed. She's one of the all-time great musicians and you owe it to yourself to explore her album "in defense of my own happiness" - every song is just brilliant.

[@zachcaz91]

Yes! That album immediately became a favorite during the first listen. I can’t wait to see where she goes and what she accomplishes.

[@someoneshappyness]

No dude isn’t the song abt only needing love and how all this other stuff is bullshit Come on dude That’s rlly like u don’t get it Can we stop caring abt Grammys And fame? It’s just full of shit and uk it

[@valeriefruik585]

I love you Diego

Definitely one of my favorite singer song writers right now.

[@byusaranicole]

Her voiiiicccceeee!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@bobcolleton6690]

Great voice, I can’t wait to hear more from her. Amazing!

[@user-pc3xb4hd8i]

Check out her I See America she performed on Jimmy Kimmel

[@frankrizzo739]

Purple Haze all in my brain! 🤯

[@Zembo177]

I have no musical talent but singing & playing an instrument at the same time seems like it would be a whole-brain workout. Whew! Excellent!

[@hellomynameisrodney]

Joy has that Alec Benjamin softness. It's amazing

[@ingridveilleux4786]

An amazing introduction to a talented performer. I am moved by this performance.

[@nanoz3891]

My new favourite song, seriously...

[@robertsaul234]

"Scuse me, while I kiss the sky." I wonder if she's heard of Jimi Hendrix?

[@michellem2892]

You’ve got to be kidding. Of course she has. That’s the point, he is one of her inspirations, one of her muses. It’s a tribute.

[@ChrisMartignago]

so so good :)

[@johnyates1313]

Listen to this song just about every day, she's amazing

[@osilva2367]

What a joy!💜

[@robertodelosangeles3247]

Yeah, it’s a nice song, but why why why name it “purple haze?” It’s a good marketing strategy I guess, but taking the name of arguably one of the most iconic song titles in rock n roll history is bordering on plagiarism….

[@rippywilliams2139]

Wow that was awesome

[@skippy9659]

Real music is back, baby…

[@johncolvin2043]

Why call it Purple Haze?? There is only one ever purple haze! Should be against the patent to utilize this title. Great sounds and vocals but

[@kepler186f4]

What a beautiful voice.

[@BooBuKittyPhuk]

Beautiful

[@Polychrome1201]

Not what I expected. -.-

[@jordisaura6748]

Me neither

[@heartframesTV]

And did you like it?

[@michellem2892]

It isn’t it just wonderful when we’re presented with a gift of art that we didn’t expect!

[@heartframesTV]

@@michellem2892 Yes it is 🥲

[@viniciusmila1991]

The most beautiful song of the whole music history!!!

A slightly less closeted version of Tracy Chapman.

So good.

[@irinastacy6635]

Joy, go!

[@johnjhill3]

How does she not know that this title has been used before?

[@tkn2597]

dude its a tribute

[@larrygarcia6992]

She sounds like a teenage Justin Bieber

[@MichaelSilverMedia]

Jimi Hendrix was offended

[@margaretpeabody243]

I'm sorry woman it was good but kind of false advertising.

[@michellem2892]

I am amazed that you can find something negative to say about this wonderful woman and her amazing art. It would’ve taken just as much energy to put some positivity into the world. You need to listen to more of her music to change your mindset!

[@margaretpeabody243]

@@michellem2892 I said it was good.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

She should have picked a different song title. I expected a Hendrix cover. It's like titling a song Stairway To Heaven and not have it be a Led Zeppelin cover.

[@benny-rex]

When you search the title of a popular song and oh? What's this? A cover? Nope. This is something I detest. Fine song. Screw the bait and switch title.

[@michellem2892]

I am amazing that you figured out a way to be negative about her art and accomplishments.

[@Cancun771]

Terrible song title.

[@stevenlester2606]

Maybe she can change it before she releases it. She really should listen to you.

[@Cancun771]

@@stevenlester2606 You're just a marketing metric.

[@michellem2892]

I’m amazed that you can be so negative about someone who’s art is so beautiful and makes our weary world a better place. You should listen to more of her music, she could help to heal your attitude.

That aint no purple haze

Of course it’s not. It’s a tribute to one of her muses. And he bet would’ve been very honored and pleased indeed (but I doubt he would have thought your negcomment was very cool).

[@GLYDR]

@@michellem2892 Make a tribute by all means, just call it something else, saves confusion. I reckon Jimi would've agreed with me. "Of course it’s not" As do you apparently.
