London-based multidisciplinary artist Joviale releases their new single and video, ‘Moonshine’, the first on their new label Ghostly International and first new music since 2022.

Co-produced by Joviale with John Carrol Kirby, Jkarri, and Kwaku Konadu, and built to rhythmic bliss with James Mollison of Ezra Collective on saxophone, ‘Moonshine’ previews an electric, soulful, and jazzy new direction for Joviale.

The track came together over several jams; Joviale was challenged to channel the classic Prince muse a la Sheila E., Vanity, and Chaka Khan, a notion in contrast to their self-described “giving art teacher” disposition. They surfaced several lines on the spot (like “I’m easy breezy / Sweeter than a kiwi”) while eating an actual kiwi.

Speaking of the single, Joviale said: “One could say, I’ve woken up from the dead. I’m alive, I’m awake and I know what I want. A drop of moonshine was all it took.”
