Joya Mooi ft: Ric Wilson - Technicolour (Single)
"With Technicolour, Joya Mooi reframes envy through a kaleidoscope of emotions. We’re taught to see jealousy in a single shade of green, but life’s comparisons rarely feel that simple. For Joya, these feelings shift like colours in sunlight, sometimes muted, sometimes vivid, never just one thing.
The track began in Amsterdam with South African duo Easy Freak, their playful yet soulful production wrapping Joya’s vocals in a buoyant groove. Enter Ric Wilson from Chicago, whose effortless charisma adds a new layer of movement and charm, flipping the song into a conversation between perspectives.
Lyrically, Technicolour captures that push and pull between admiration and self-doubt, between watching others move ahead and finding your own pace. It’s a reminder that even envy has depth, and that within its shifting colours lies an opportunity for self-discovery.
Sonically, it’s light on its feet yet rich in detail, music you can dance to on a late summer evening, while the words linger long after the last note. It’s Joya Mooi at her most open: introspective but playful, blending her global sensibilities with an invitation to see emotions in all their complexity."
