While it may have been a few years since we last heard from singer Joi Gilliam on the national front, the slim diva with the humongous voice has stayed busy in Atlanta with frequent gigs, including as host of a popular, weekly jam session. Well, now she's ready to kick things up another notch with her latest musical incarnation at the helm of the new band, Hot Heavy & Bad formed with her boyfriend Devon Lee (who also owns the historic Pal's lounge where her weekly show takes place and where their project was recorded). "I think people who like what I do will love this project," she said in a recent cover story with Atlanta's Creative Loafing. "It's me evolving in my art." That evolution was recently celebrated at a party trumpeting both the arrival of her cover story and the duo's debut video, "One," which manages to be eclectic, soulful and funky at the same time. And in true Joi fashion, the accompanying visuals are also a break from the norm with a black and white vid that is at times both sensual and slightly unnerving. Be sure to peep it below and let us know if you think of Hot Heavy & Bad.
