Influenced by the band, which led them to ask Paul Draper if he would be interested in working with them.
Collaboration with Paul Draper
Paul has worked with The Joy Formidable on previous works, but Paul heard through a mysterious grapevine that the band wanted Paul Draper to sing on Greyhounds in the Slips.
According to an interview between Ritzy and an online magazine called Dots & Dashes[1] Ritzy was amongst friends and was talking about great vocalists where Ritzy exclaimed I fucking love Paul Draper's voice. One thing led to another and Paul was on board to help out.
Performing at the KoKo with Paul
Ritzy Bryan told the NME[2].

He generously agreed and the first seeds of a happy friendship were sewn. He'll be joining us for the first time live at London's KOKO on October 14 and he will not disappoint you. He's an amazing talent and we're delighted to see him on the stage once again. |
