Justin Jay & Friends – Turn Around ft. Josh Taylor & Ulf Bonde
While LA’s favorite rising producer Justin Jay normally enjoys the more tech-heavy side of house, his newest collective effort Justin Jay & Friends has proven to be quite a prolific venture for the young dirtybird star. The crew has been hard at work this spring to create one of this year’s more eclectic-sounding albums. Released in an unconventional manner compared to most records, Fantastic Voyage (The Album!) is slowly being released over a period of time in the form of singles and EPs on different labels to emphasize each track’s unique singularity.
Their latest portion of the album, Fantastic Voyage – Part 3, comes off of Boston-bred label Soul Clap Records. The first single from the EP, “Let Go,” was a resounding illustration of Justin Jay & Friends’ fine-tuned melodies and flowing harmonic progressions. Now, the team has released the second track off the EP, which beautifully follows up the easygoing tenor of the first. Featuring the production prowess of fellow LA-based producer Ulf Bonde, their newest single “Turn Around” is a supersmooth, mellowed-out tune that mingles together Josh Taylor’s gentle vocals, fluidic guitar strums, and a brooding percussive end.
“Ulf Bonde is one of the most serious, intellectual people I know, and one of the silliest, goofiest, and free-spirited people I know. On our Freerange EP, he helped push me to make some of the most sophisticated music I’ve ever made. On “Turn Around,” he and Josh Taylor lead the charge to make one of hook-iest, feel good jams I’ve ever had the pleasure to work on. Ulf is a master of melody and harmony. It was so dope to see him run free coming up with all of the amazing synth lines and stabs in “Turn Around.” I can only imagine how awesome Sweden must be in the summer cause that must be where the inspiration came from.” -Justin Jay
