Norwegian singer-songwriter JOA, also known as Johanna Skippervold, is making a name for herself in the Scandinavian music scene with her new single, "Feel Sorry." From her introspective EP Feelings You Don't Say Out Loud, the twenty-year-old artist shows a lot of emotional maturity by mixing vulnerability with a subtle pop style that is all her own. JOA's song "Feel Sorry" proves that her music isn't just heard; it's felt.
Feel Sorry is different from her other fast-paced songs in that it starts off slowly and gently. The production is meant to be sparse, with soft guitar lines, measured pauses, and carefully placed electronic textures that create a quiet tension that lets JOA's voice shine. Her clear, slightly shaky voice carries the song with a quiet intensity, showing layers of emotion without ever being showy. Minimalism hits severely because it has a fragile, precise beauty that draws the listener in.
"Feel Sorry" is the most important song on Feelings You Don't Say Out Loud because it connects the other songs on the EP in an emotional way. Where previous problems showed vulnerability through deep self-examination, Feel Sorry looks at similar feelings through a lens of quiet strength and grace. This song shows that JOA can turn complicated feelings into music that is both simple to understand and very personal.
JOA is quickly becoming an important voice in modern indie-pop because of how fragile, precise, and undeniably pop she is. Feel Sorry shows that she is not only a promising new artist but also a songwriter who can connect with many people while keeping the closeness that makes her music captivating. By the end of this release, it's clear that JOA is a talent that people will be listening to for a long time.
