Oslo Artist JOA Introduces Herself with the Moving “I Don’t Want Nobody But Your Body”

“I Don’t Want Nobody But Your Body“ found its way onto my radar recently, and it’s been near impossible to shake ever since. This tender debut single, released quietly a while back, introduces JOA’s voice with an intimacy that feels like flipping through the pages of her diary. Hailing from Oslo, the young singer-songwriter has spent years fine-tuning her craft to pour it all into a track that’s beautifully moving. With instrumentation as delicate as the sentiments it holds—think cello, piano, and soft ukulele strums—the song feels like a letter to a lost love, sealed with tears and courage.

Reflecting on her journey, JOA shared, “‘I Don’t Want Nobody But Your Body’ is probably the most personal and honest song on this EP. I wrote it while going through a breakup, and it became my way of coping with my feelings.” That honesty glints in every lyric and every aching note. Her voice carries a bittersweet vulnerability, like she’s inviting you to feel every heartbreak and every moment of hope with her.

The video amplifies the song’s emotional weight, with scenes of JOA submerged in water, twirling as light dances across the surface. It’s almost cinematic—like she’s in her own dramatic, underwater ballet. It’s both haunting and hopeful, a visual reflection of rising from the depths of heartbreak.

Fans of Phoebe Bridgers and Julia Michaels will fall hard for JOA’s ability to turn her feelings into something universally relatable. Her upcoming EP promises more of this lyrical magic, with tracks exploring everything from youthful missteps (“Previous Problems”) to the bittersweet glow of nostalgia (“Golden Years”).
