JJ - All White Everything
Their influence hasn’t waned, and in their time out of the spotlight JJ have only picked up confidence.
In their time away, scatterbrained, collage mixtapes have multiplied in their millions, the Swedish duo of JJ’s approach of patchworking hip-hop staples with drifting, gorgeous instrumentation only gaining influence.
It’s done nothing to dissuade the pair. Now their name - JJ - is in caps. Gone with the lowercase, here exists a duo pulling their socks up and readying themselves for a big next step. ‘All White Everything’ is a confident, glitter-drenched return. It points back to early jj material, with references to “bitches” colliding with near-angelic keys. A knack for balancing striking contrasts still rings true. The difference, here, is that this comeback track packs one hell of a chorus, the kind JJ always seem capable of writing, instead choosing to drift off elsewhere.
JJ’s ‘V’ album is out 19th August on Secretly Canadian.
