Ayo Joyful (4 stars)
Ayo has a gorgeous, sultry voice, and Joyful is a great showcase of what she can do vocally.
This soul/reggae/folk debut is a very serene and genuine debut.
She sounds like Norah Jones or Joss Stone, but takes that likeness and makes it her own.
Her music is laced with a European sound that creates a great atmosphere when listening to this CD.
“Down on My Knees” is an affecting track, and “Only You” is a great, breezy song with reggae charm.
Joyful is a simple but refreshing album from this European musician, and let’s hope all her future albums will sound like this.
