JJ – ‘All White Everything’

Avatar

I’ve never quite been sure what to make of JJ, the Swedish duo whose entire operation seemed to be a semi-ironic draggy take on black music from a European angle. They’ve made some bewildering musical choices and lots of it, in the past, hasn’t been for me. There are always glimmers there though as if they got a kick up the ass, they could be amazing.

V, is the band’s third album (1 and 2 were singles) and it’s coming in August and honestly, this preview track ‘All White Everything’ is the best thing they’ve done. The song is a forthright piano ballad (for them) while the title references a Soulja Boy title, it might just be the best thing they’ve done.

V is released on August 8th through Sincerely Yours / Secretly Canadian.
