About

The Pendulum Vibe is the debut album of American recording artist Joi, released on June 28, 1994, by EMI Records. She recorded the album in three weeks with producer and mentor Dallas Austin at D.A.R.P. Studios in Atlanta. The neo-soul record incorporates R&B, funk, and psychedelic soul styles, dealing with themes of enlightenment, personal freedom, intimate relationships, and womanism. The album was acclaimed by music critics upon its release, but was overlooked commercially and went out of print. It subsequently attained a cult following among listeners of eclectic R&B music and has since been viewed by critics as a precursor to the neo-soul music scene.
