Just Jared Drops an Addictive Album

A fresh album release from Just Jared and Crazy White Boy delivers a massive array of R&B, pop, and hip-hop flows all sewn together and delivering these honest and danceable atmospheres that end up swallowing you up, in a good way.

The record is called Just An Album, and certainly wastes very little time getting straight to the point with an absolutely lush and vast R&B banger that incorporates plenty of wrapping and hip-hop along the way, and showcases this sort of late-night club feel with a cinematic backbone. This track is called 'Just Me".

This is an absolutely excellent track that introduces the record with, showcasing some of the best staples that the LP displays throughout its course, but also delivers a lot of this robust personality, which is the biggest thing you end up getting attached to throughout this record.

The album goes through these different personal attributes with descriptive lyrics that have such awesome flows to them, and throughout it all, you get plenty of inventive and outside-the-box lyrical phrasing that dives into both classic and new school feeling hip-hop approaches.

Now, some tracks get a little gritty, dirty, still personal, because he's giving you pieces of himself in there, but their pieces that can be a little edgy. Songs like "Up" are perfect examples of what I mean.

The record gives you all sides of that personality. Not just one or two, but the whole thing in little pieces throughout the record.

Each track displays something a little bit different, takes on a slightly different approach, and altogether makes the record feel robust and full-bodied.

Songs like "Stay Here With You" showcase those more personal, heartfelt, and cinematic approaches that are laced throughout the record, but again, it's something that you should listen to from start to finish.

Listening to one or two songs may give you a few ideas of what you can expect, but it will not give you anywhere near the full spectrum or range that the album offers as a whole.

I feel like this is important because he is showcasing so many sides to his personality and artistry alongside that, so listening to the record from start to finish is actually the only way to go here.

There are more than a few surprises around the corners, and the songs are packed with such thick character and passionate vocals, along with Great Wraps that go hand in hand and build this sort of aesthetic that you end up getting pulled into.

I just said before, this whole record has an atmosphere to it. Once you get two or three tracks in, you start to understand what it's all about, and once you're in this atmosphere, you don't want to leave.

There are more than a few singles that stand on their own two feet extremely well, but again, listening to the full album is the best way to soak in everything it has to offer.

Just Jared delivers a lot of inner thought, personal perspective, honesty, and loads of Juicy tidbits that display that Persona very well, and it's all laid out for you to soak in. That's its purpose.

This album blends such an intense and lush variety of different approaches from afrobeat, dance, pop, rap, hip hop, R&B, and a club undertone that kind of sticks throughout the record's playthrough.

There's just a lot to take in, and it's best done with headphones on if you ask me, but that's up to the listener.

The production is super well done. You can tell there was a lot of attention to detail when it came down to the tones of the keys, synths, the rhythms of the beats and of course the mix of the tracks as well.

All in all, this was a massive record that gives you a lot, and it serves as a perfect example for an album that is built with fewer walls built around it than whatever you may be used to.

There's no muzzle. There's no holding back. There are fewer boundaries on this record, especially lyrically, than the norm.

I would prepare for that and then dive right in.

Definitely check this record out as soon as you can, and again, listen to it in full if you have the time because it's well worth it.

Remember where you heard it first.
