Joye – Badass Mum

Written in the spring of 2023 during her mother’s terminal illness and performed for the first time on the day of her funeral, the song now finds its full resonance.

Hidden away on the mixtape ANGEL (this mixtape is for u), this minimalist acoustic folk track has now established itself as a highlight. Joye dares to play the piano on stage for the first time – her original instrument – revealing a rare intimacy.

The video, shot in a single take by Sasha Mongin, extends this authenticity with its pictorial and luminous staging. The natural space, bathed in gold and warmth, transforms the live performance into a visual manifesto where raw emotion becomes aesthetic material.

Through BADASS MUM, Joye transforms a personal tribute into a universal gesture, where intimate emotion meets the power of the stage.
