Joi Is Back To Get Hot Heavy & Bad On The 'One'


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.
