Following the Coachella performance, last Friday Doja Cat released all three tracks featuring The Joy across streaming as part of an expansive digital album called Scarlet 2 CLAUDE. The band provided lead vocals alongside the US rapper on recent single “ACKNOWLEDGE ME”, “DISRESPECTFUL” and “Shutcho”, all of which were re-imagined to incorporate lyrics in Zulu.
Their new single is also accompanied by a performance video which was filmed by Up The Game (the creative team behind Liam Gallagher: Knebworth 22 and Tonight with: Arlo Parks) at the live recording of the album which took place at the renowned Church Studios in Crouch End, London.
