## Resource

Saxophonist Isaiah Collier drops his new EP Joy on July 30th, kicking off with the soulful, gospel-infused single “God’s By Your Side,” a track that channels D’Angelo’s vibe while delivering a message of resilience and divine support. Collier redefines joy not as fleeting happiness, but as an active, communal resistance against despair — a powerful tool for connection in a fractured world. Recorded live in Chicago with his brother on drums and a tight band, the track’s raw energy is captured in its accompanying video, showcasing the power of family and collaboration. The EP explores gratitude, resilience, and the anchors that ground us — making joy a political act of light in dark times. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
