Dee Joyce Continues His Rise With “L’heure d’aimer”

Interview by Sandra Gasana
Genres and styles : Soul/R&B

Additional Information

It’s been exactly one month since Dee Joyce’s album, L’heure d’aimer, was released, and it’s still generating buzz. The Cameroonian artist has been on a media tour for several weeks now with this third album, which shakes up the R&B genre while championing a more inclusive musical style that celebrates the diversity of romantic experiences. Having arrived in Montreal just days before the pandemic, he continues a career that began in France and Belgium. After Un grand A released in 2023, followed by Grand garçon in 2024, Dee Joyce reclaims these conventions to tell his truth with L’heure d’aimer. The album also features collaborations with Sandy Duperval and Irdens Exantus. Our contributor Sandra Gasana spoke with the artist about his journey for PAN M 360.
