"Weather" is the third single release from JOY, aka Olivia McCarthy. JOY gathered lots of attention and hearts with an appropriately titled debut single last year called "Captured," and then more recently again with "Stone."
Three singles in and JOY is almost an Indie Shuffle veteran! Such is the quality of the dense, mellow, and classy pop she's putting out. She strikes a nice balance with "Weather." I like it for its often intense sound that get melted down by her dreamy and chopped vocals, the slowness of the finger snaps, and its barrage of synths.
Another fun fact about JOY: she's very hands on -- she wrote, performed, and remixed this track herself. And, as if that's not enough, she's just 17 years old. Based in Brisbane, this talented young teenager is still a high school student.
