Not long after the dawn of her career, as a teenager in Rio de Janeiro, Joyce was declared “one of the greatest singers” by Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Hil St Soul returns with her first album in ten years, with a strong set 'Back In Love'. 'One Life' , 'Love & Fire' and 'Party On' are uptempo contemporary Modern Soul/R & B dancers, whilst 'Fingerprints' is a mid tempo groover. Noel Gourdin duets on the mid tempo 'Blessed' and catchy 'Amazing', with his soulful voice.
