Joy Anonymous' latest single, "Head To The Sky" is premiered by Clara Amfo on BBC Radio 1 as her Hottest Record.

Following a triumphant Glastonbury weekend for Joy Anonymous who went B2B with Fred Again and popped up all over the festival, they now return with their second release of the year.

Speaking of the track, Joy Anonymous say: “We started this tune with our friends Barney and Fred in the basement of Imogen Heap's house. Barney had this sample of "Optimistic" By Sounds Of Blackness and we took it from there. We started playing it out in different forms over the past year and it quickly became the Joy Anonymous anthem. We use it as the moment we introduce new members into Joy Anonymous as we raise our hands in salute. The original sample expresses overcoming problems by keeping on and keeping your head up. We wanted to keep that feeling in this record and from the reaction we can see, people get that same feeling when hearing it today."

Joy Anonymous have had a stellar 2023, so far, from releasing new music – including “404” – collaborating and performing with Fred Again… Jyoty, Skrillex, The Blessed Madonna, and Four Tet, as well as being named as one of BBC Radio 1’s Future Dance Stars.

Following the release of "Head To The Sky", Joy Anonymous are gearing up for performances at Boomtown, Boardmasters and are also playing as part of Four Tet’s all-dayer at Finsbury Park.

"Head To The Sky" is out now.
