Eyes On You

(lalala)
“Even when you see us two
I'd rather be with you
Though you see me hanging too
But i got my eyes on you”
She’s got secret powers
Days they come up flowers
We lie listening for hours
I dread the hour she goes
And the tension’s just too classic
Graze my hand when she passes
Comes as some surprise when she leans in to say
Is this how she’s feeling
Am i really hearing:
“Even when you see us two
I’d rather be with you
Though you see me passing through
I got my eyes on you”
She says it's psychosomatic that
Blurred lines the last time she had it yeah
And how this became a habit
Of seeing you again
She said it’s likely the joy of spring
But I know it's not a way to live each day
I know if you ask her nice she wouldn’t say
If she loves me only
Can she love me only.. yes say yes
Even when you see us two
I’d rather be with you
Though you see me hanging too
I got my eyes on you

When the moon is at it's highest
as the stars appear again
There’s a feeling that you’re fighting
Can you let the moment in?
Scared you’ll end up where you started
But this ain’t no place to stay
You can’t go on being heartless
Got to let love find a way
It’s unstoppable regardless
It’s already on its way
Can the fear of it departing
Make you wish it never came?
I love the way it comes without delay
(With the endless sky As the stars collide
Can you help me through the night)
All i wanted babe - to let you in my life
(Baby dont take it for granted we)
All i wanted babe - to let the spark ignite
(Give as you take love don’t come for free)
All i wanted - let you in my life
(Baby just stay here you’re safe with me)
All i wanted baby - Let the spark ignite…Tonight tonight

Playful

You don’t belong to me
But I need to know that you got home safe
And I feel no ownership
But I like to hear from you in the day
When i walk beside of you
Keep our hands from grazing too
Feelings getting harder to let in
All the warmth inside of you
You know what it turns into to
Can we keep these unspoken rules
And i wanna say
It’s so playful but - we could get serious
And i know you don't want serious yeah
Playful playful but
It feels kinda delicate
All i know, all i know
She was acting like the wrong thing
but saying all the wright things
If destiny is on the phone
Hang it up hang it up we should push it back
And i wanna say
CHORUS
It’s so playful but - we could get serious
And we don't do serious yeah
Playful playful but
Think we gotta cool it (but how can we cool it )
It's so playful but….and we don't do serious
And I'm so grateful but I think we gotta cool it
Playful said you're playful
You're so playful

Pure Love ft. Meduulla

I need pure love and I…
That easy love
I was so absent from your mind
What did I hope to find
There’s too much compromise
Cos if the universe provides yeah
Got me in two minds
Getting on your good side
You won’t hear no No sense at all
If its not on your terms It just wont work
and i laid so low but now i want my life to lead
And i didnt do nothing wrong
I need pure love…that easy love (and I)
I let my conscience be my guide
But i was too polite
Cant let me principles slide
I want someone with whom i speak
They’re really hearing me
Someone who stimulates my mind
But you won’t hear no - no sense at all
If It's not on her terms - she gonna make you learn
I’m just asking for what i want my life to be
And what I know I deserve
CHORUS
It's gotta feel so easy
Meduulla:
Loving me isnt hard
you see
loving me is an art
Loving me is a wonderpark, wonder why you wana run a mile you can run to yard
I know i can keep you warm when the thunder starts
We can meet in shangri-la,
tell you my needs by a pine tree heaven knows we’ll be wunderbar
Loving me is loving smart, gotta keep my t’s and C’s to protect my heart
Word to that,
couple things that I need to appease the lack
I got layers, they need peeling back
but as long as i can leave with my peace in tact
I’ll be good with a compromise
If you give me all your love, I can subsides
Pure love, gimmie butterflies,
I think we suit taylormade like we’re customise
Easy love, we aint gotta fight
I need that easy love
Gonna need that easy love
Cos I didn't do (nothing wrong)

Desire!

(Can we sail away
Desire!)
Two wrongs don’t make a right
But two Ls makes me wanna
Go there
But i need some boundaries
Got to know that
Truth is Dawning on me
if you’re falling we can go there
But i need assurance i wanna know that
Can we sail oh sail away
On Desire!
….And i wanna give it a try

about
Private Joy?! With a namesake derived from the mighty Prince’s catalogue, and its lustful connotations, Private Joy is the producer of soul band Lovescene and a supreme vocalist of the Manchester scene. With collaborations working with the likes of Ruf Dug, Finn, and Lenzman, a solo EP was inevitable and a statement this is.
Pops Roberts’ first solo EP debuts on Rhythm Section INTL bringing together influences from Streetsoul, 80s ‘babymaker’ RnB records and a slice of 00s soulful house in there for good measure. In just over 18 minutes, Private Joy welcomes you into her world of sensuality and soulful warmth. Musical hugs galore, the production balances synths, harps, saxophones, tight beats and meaningful lyrical content; eschewing millennial whoops for Sade indebted dulcet tones.
Each track draws from personal experience; be it heartbreak or reconnection, an emotional diary conveying the trials and tribulations of love, loss and ultimately, desire.
Opening with ‘Eyes on You’, reeling you in slowly with a Joe Sample style intro, Pops’ undoubtedly sultry voice hits the hairs on the back of your neck, underpinned by 5 stringed bass guitar which features across the EP, giving every track deep harmonic roots. ‘Love Find A Way’ conjures the best of Osunlade’s discography, combining harp from Ada Francis, percussive loops, smooth strings, finishing the A side on soulful house tip.
The B side kicks off with ‘Playful’, a downbeat soul jam with an “swaying afrobeats influence”, to reflect Private Joy’s intention: “ An ode to appreciating the enjoyment of a friendship that is drenched in attraction that needs to be respected and taken slowly”. “Pure Love” jumps straight in with that elusive streetsoul vibe, when you hear it, you just know the volume needs to increase. Fellow Mancunian Meduulla jumps on the mic for the final verse, ironing in the tribute to the late 90s ‘upfront’ underground RnB sound made timeless by artists such as Zhané, Mary J Blige and Brandy. Closing the EP is title track ‘Desire!’, a modern ballad featuring Ophelia Buxton backing the layered vocals with trumpet licks. Jazzy rhodes and synth pad swells fill the void behind the natural yet electronic drums, a tapestry of passion led by Anita Baker chic vocals.
“Desire has been the drive and beginning of so many decisions, highs and lows in life…” - Private Joy
