It goes without saying that the last few years have been difficult for everyone. Whether it’s a war going on in your homeland or a pandemic ravaging your community, the last few years have posed questions that many of us wish we’d never have to answer. Still, many of us have had to find a way to breakthrough, dig deep and make a way. On this road, it can often feel lonely and depressing, but thankfully, there are words of encouragement that are offered and music that can help heal. On his latest single, “Joy,” Samm Hensahaw does all of that. He looks inward, examines the challenges in his life and offers a bit of sunshine in a dark time.
“This one might leave you teary-eyed/This one gon’ keep you flyin’ high/This one gon’ get you through the night/This song is called Joy,” he sings.
“Became a stranger to friends/But real pally with my doubts/I had to lose the bigger picture just to figure me out/To find some joy/All we need is a little joy.”
“Joy” arrives just in time for the start of his upcoming tour. Beginning June 3, 2022, he’ll make stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. among others. He’s also slated to perform at the Love Supreme Jazz Festival in July. Check out the “Joy” video below and visit his website for more information regarding live show tickets.
