jj - Let Go

Let Go is a great smooth piece of pop that would go well with a pina colada. Or sake. Or some Kentucky bourbon. Fresh off the release of November's jj n° 2, jj have been releasing singles like shells from Scarface's M16, and it's the breezy mashup of tropical, eastern, and American folk influence that makes this one stand out. "Baby we were born for fun/or maybe to sleep in the sun." If that isn't napping music, I don't know what is.

jj: "OK, jj went to malaga to have some fun, get some sun and 2 albums done. it was back in the fall of 2008 when they had both lost their virginity to insanity and were looking for moments of clarity. a plane to spain felt like a reasonable opportunity. so with money in the bank, nobody to thank, it started with a drank. and a couple of hours later the on the 29th of september they had felt the first breeze coming in from africa, sweet winds of melodies pure and true."
