The EP’s first single, “Poster Child,” is inspired by Nola Hatterman’s 1930 painting “Op het terras.” Joya explains of the song: “I’ve written songs about art before, but this particular piece made me think of all the people we admire in museums but know so little about. The song is about Lou Drenthe. Did he ever know that he was mistaken for someone else in this painting?” “Poster Child” captures the essence of feeling ignored or not recognized for who we really are, and reflects the untold stories of those who are often forgotten in history.

Joya’s music encourages us to collectively confront our history, our vulnerability and the simple joys that shape our lives.
