Currently on the road touring with Hard-Fi across the UK, it’s been an exciting first year for Manchester-based Bria Keely, better known as better joy. Having released a run of singles and toured with the likes of The K’s, Andrew Cushin and Swim Deep, better joy announce their debut headline UK tour alongside new single, ‘What A Day’.

Brand-new track ‘What a Day’ tells a story of generational trauma, inspired by Bria’s real life family events. Produced by Mike Hedges (The Cure, U2, Manic Street Preachers) and mixed by Robbie Nelson (Rolling Stones, Beck, Hozier), ‘What A Day’ is paired with ironic lyricism and catchy hooks and is a glimpse into relatable generational experiences that can shape a modern generation.

Bria says, “selfishly, I kind of had a moment where i wanted to blame someone else for parts of me I didn’t quite understand. It’s not about not taking responsibility, it’s about understanding yourself in context, forgiving yourself for your behaviours that are not necessarily your fault. And no one is exempt, generations before us went through so much and repressed so much, so it kind of makes sense to me that it trickles down to our doorstep. At least now that I’ve written as song about it, something good has come of it, so thanks Granny.”
