Emily's Albums A to Z

Listened: Monday August 9

I never listened to JJ72 much after I bought it. I can’t even remember why I did; the CD might have been really cheap somewhere.

JJ72’s music is very soaring and dramatic, and now that I think of it, it has a little bit of a grungy edge to it. The singer can sing very sweetly, but when he wants to, he can have a very noticeable gravelly edge to his voice. It’s an unusual combination.

I ended up deciding their music is a little too angsty for me. It’s pretty clear how young they were when they made this. It’s music for young people.
