Joy Rhodes

I have been on a strange musical journey - it's all about listening to music that's about self-love. And when you ask the universe for something without doubt, it gives to you, as a sign that you are on the right track. And so, I met Joy Rhodes.

I found a song called Supposed To, which talks of everything happening in your life as something that is for your higher good. It's about living in the present and knowing it's all as it's "supposed to" be. She has an R&B mellow sound, and all her songs are centered around the idea that loving yourself is the highest endeavour. Other songs include I Love Me, and Trust Fall.

As I wrote this piece, and researched who Rhodes is, I have been educated: She is an AI artiste, and not a real person. And I am shook. Now, I wonder if I should listen to more of her? And will I stop listening to this music that I am addicted to? Sigh, what a world we live in!

Listen at your own discretion.
