This week’s Artist of the Week is Bay Bryan, an emerging singer-songwriter who is equally comfortable as their drag persona, Queen Bayard. They recently released their enchanting new single “Sweet Joan” and it’s a rather delightful listen if you ask us.
Combining alt-folk with baroque-pop sensibilities,”Sweet Joan” is a charming little ditty that instantly soothes the soul. Bay’s soft, emotive vocal is at the forefront, accented beautifully by undulating viola and clarinet. The song follows the story of a sorceress who risks her own life to save her mortal lover Joan from a mysterious and magical illness.
The track is taken from Bay’s upcoming debut concept album, The Meadow, due for release in 2023.
“Sweet Joan” is in stores now.
