After taking 2023 by storm, Joanie’s back to do the same to 2024 with ‘Honeytrap’. The London’s artist new single follows the excellent Neurotica EP, a debut that made its way onto our Best EPs of 2023 list.
With a sound that blends together the joy of disco pop and the darkness of industrial noise, ‘Honeytrap’ is another Joanie song that hits hard with beats and hooks. Delivering another spellbinding instrumental that looks you stuck. No wonder she’s often compared to Blondie. Joanie’s breathy vocals weave between layers of harsh, pulsating synthesisers that fill the room with excitement. Conjuring up an alluring sound that is hard to resist.
What made Neurotica so enjoyable was its ability to keep you hooked while retaining a mysteriousness about it. Like encountering a nightclub in an unfamiliar place but opting to stick with it and enjoy it anyway. This is exactly what ‘Honeytrap’ offers too – a fun pop tune filled with unconventional elements that leaves you wanting more.
Joanie made a splash last year and this new single has solidified her as an artist to watch. Everything she has released so far has been top notch, and only builds excitement and expectation for what’s to come.
