### **Los Angeles based indie pop singer/songwriter Skofee drops her new EP ‘Joyland’. **

Named after an amusement park **Skofee** used to visit in Kansas, the six-track 
EP chronicles finding joy in various ways after falling out of touch with it. Skofee
confides, “_Joyland_ represents a euphoric state of mind, and one that isn’t necessarily
accessible in the way it used to be. The pursuit of joy, self discovery, absence
of comfort and the destruction of familiarity are all themes.”

Musically, _Joyland_ thrills with multidimensional sonics including **sugary electro,
moody indie pop, and introspective folk** that take the listener on an enthralling
and relatable journey of finding delight in everyday life.

Skofee has received acclaim from the likes of **_Ones to Watch, Notion, LADYGUNN,
The Line of Best Fit, LA Weekly, Spotify’s Fresh Finds, Sirius XM _and _NPR_ **among
other tastemakers.

Skofee is a rising pop artist based in Los Angeles. Her music is left-of-center 
while maintaining melodies that satisfy the inner earworm, featuring candid yet 
affecting lyrics and lush harmonies over decadent tracks.

Born and raised in Wichita Kansas, Skofee’s house was filled with bluegrass and 
folk music. After attending high school in Boulder, CO and college at the University
of Southern California, Skofee took her love for the music she grew up with and 
translated it into a more pop-based sound. Her 2020 debut Polished EP received incredible
reviews from the likes of tastemaker press outlets including Ones To Watch, EARMILK,
and even the LA Weekly, who said, “Skofee’s sound is super-contemporary, combining
indie and pop to create a gorgeous, lush and emotional alt-pop vibe that certainly
recalls **Alison Krauss** as well as the likes of **Lorde**.”

2021 saw the release of the Post Pop Remix of her single “Spiderman” (Post Pop being
the moniker of producer Stefan Skarbek, who has worked with the likes of **Amy Winehouse**,**
Lily Allen** and **Jamiroquai** among others). This uptempo reworking saw several
months of airplay on local KROQ-FM, arguably the most influential Alternative radio
station in the country. In July 2022, Skofee released an incredible duet with famed
Dutch singer/songwriter/producer and Grammy nominee **Cimo Fränkel** – a remake 
of Fränkel’s hit single “Where Do You Hide Your Love” which saw support from tastemaker
radio outlet KCRW and was placed in A-list rotation on Amazing Radio USA.

Skofee’s sophomore EP, _Joyland_, touches on love, loss and the search for happiness
in familiar places. Now released, the EP has several singles from the collection
including her recent tropical house-tinged end-of-summer banger “Wind Up Hero”, “
Quicksand”, a relatable 90’s pop fused anthem about letting go, and the lofi pop
ballad “I’m Sorry I Killed Your Plant”.
