jj ft. Ne-Yo, “We Can’t Stop” (MP3)

You know this song, a free Adult Swim single, seems to me like two songs in one–you know like a base coat/top coat from Orly. The first half is like a nice sensual ballad; the second is wanting to go over the 90’s R&B dance thing, and at the end they cop back out with an abrupt ending. I like it though, nothing has ever been so abrasively stitched together, yet so tasty.

jj – jj n° 3 (Review)

jj n° 3

Released by Secretly Canadian/Sincerely Yours


Sweden’s latest indie buzz band, jj, veer toward the electronica-tinged pop sounds of their countrypeople—think Robyn, The Knife, Air France—on sophomore record jj n° 3, proving there’s no need to ditch a profitable formula. But jj’s elusive, publicity-eschewing band members Joakim Benon and Elin Kastlander, know the secret to a steady output of bright, shiny records is not-so-happy underpinnings, bringing a sense of humanity to what, on the surface, can come across as lullaby music.
