Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Joy Oladokun has released her new song, “Fortune Favors The Bold” featuring special guest Tim Gent.
Reflecting on the song, Oladokun shares, “We wrote this song as a sort of way to imagine a world where victims are heard and addictions are met with compassion. Natalie, Jeremy and I all felt that the most powerful people we’ve encountered in our lives were also the most compassionate. This song is both a celebration of those people and a way of hoping that the influence of kindness and care continues to spread until this world is a radically different place.”
Written by Oladokun, Jeremy Lutito and Natalie Hemby (Lady Gaga, The Highwomen, Kacey Musgraves), “Fortune Favors The Bold” follows last month’s release, “Keeping The Light On,” as well as Oladokun’s breakthrough major label debut, in defense of my own happiness (Amigo Records/Verve Forecast/Republic Records—stream/purchase here).
Oladokun will also embark on her first ever headline tour this spring. See below for complete tour itinerary.
