Justin Jay is back with another feel-good summer hit. We’ve been following this rising DJ and producer along his funkalicious journey for sometime now, and it just keeps getting better and better. Released today, Justin Jay’s latest single “Time” follows in the footsteps of his earlier summer tune “Stuck Inside My Head” with this multi-talent taking to the mic once again, racking up credit as singer, songwriter, and producer.
Out now on Fantastic Voyage Records, “Time” is the story of a boy discovering his love for music, delivered by the lo-fi vocals of Justin Jay. This easy-to-love tune is an upbeat jam, seamlessly fusing together the sounds of house,funk, and psychedelic/alternative rock. Different to the low-key, entrancing melody of “Stuck Inside My Head,” this one will have you grooving and moving about. Justin Jay has said about the track:
“When I was in 8th grade, I dropped by a music class to find some friends playing a cover of Reptillia by the Strokes. I thought it was the coolest thing ever and really wanted to join in but felt like I had nothing to bring to the table. I grew up playing classical piano and didn’t feel like a Mozart Sonata had a place in their rock band. In a way, that belief lead me to start making electronic music on the computer.
‘Time’ is a deep intersection between my love for making beats/sounds and my exploration of live music, jamming with my homies. So many parts of the song came about while Benny Bridges, Henry Was and I were hanging out, messing around, just having fun. When my bandmates and I get to perform “Time” live, I feel my inner-8th Grader realizing those childhood ambitions and it makes me really happy.”
