Rita Satch releases a beautiful cover of Edwin Hawkins Singers’ memorable gospel tune, entitled, “Joy, Joy”

Rita Satch is a talented singer-songwriter and violinist from Melbourne, Australia. Not too long ago, she released a beautiful cover of Edwin Hawkins Singers’ memorable gospel tune, entitled, “Joy, Joy.”

Rita Satch – “Joy, Joy” (Edwin Hawkins Singers cover)

“Behind every dark cloud, there’s a silver lining. After each rainstorm, there’s a bright new star. If troubles grieve you and friends deceive you, oh, don’t worry. It will pass over in the morning.” – lyrics

‘Joy, Joy’ encourages listeners to not be discouraged during dark and dire times. Also, the song reminds us that trials and tribulations will come, but we must be steadfast. “And even though pain and misery fill your eyes with tears, these trials will soon pass and soon, they will depart.”

‘Joy, Joy’ contains an inspiring narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies that will satisfy the musical palate of listeners who adore gospel-soul music. The heartfelt cover possesses piano-laden instrumentation flavored with Christian, gospel, and retro-soul elements. Furthermore, “Joy, Joy” serves as a tasty appetizer to what listeners can expect to hear from Rita Satch in the near future as she continues to release new music.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come.”

“This song was initially recorded for my dear friend’s birthday compilation album. Shout out to Melbourne legend, Chris Gill @northside records. I recorded this in my home studio, as our beloved city Melbourne lay dormant after too many days of lockdown. I chose to reimagine this Edwin Hawkins Gospel treasure to spread LOVE, LIGHT, and JOY into a world that needs it. As the festive season approaches, here is my latest offering, JOY, JOY. I hope this brings a ray of sunshine into your lives.” All my love, Rita Satch stated

‘Joy, Joy’ features Rita Satch on vocals, Daniel Mougerman (@mougmodeld) on piano, and Barney McAll (@barneymcall) on organ. The song was mixed by Haima Marrriot (@haimamarriot), mastered by Max Downling, and the artwork was created by @siderspauce.
