Joan Drops Debut Album “SuperGule”
Arkansas pop duo Joan released their highly anticipated debut album “superglue”. A unique and existential journey through their recent experiences with fatherhood. The album “superglue” is an infectious pop experience perfect for spring and summer. From start to finish, this album is an exploration of the highs and lows of life. For instance, each song serves as a snapshot of the human experience.
Also, Joan manages to blend different styles and eras of pop into something completely their own. “superglue” creates a sense of nostalgia and forward-thinking. It’s safe to say that Americana pop is back in effect. Subsequently, Joan would be in the same class as Aly & AJ, and others.
As a listener, it’s impossible not to get swept up in the emotions of “superglue”. The lyrics are raw and honest. Everything from the complexities of relationships to the challenges of growing older. While the subject matter may be heavy at times, Joan’s uplifting melodies and catchy hooks bring you back.
“We naturally felt comfortable in the world of love songs. This time, we were like, ‘Let’s get more personal’. We both had babies in the past year. We’ve grown more than we have in a long time. It’s so cool watching your baby crawl for the first time and see the world. It organically informed the writing. The whole body of work is so personal—like we’re giving a piece of ourselves to listeners. It’s by far the most special thing we’ve done.”
Steven said in statement.
