Baltimore native, Jett Jano, delivers a power-packed new single titled "HUGS (Love on Rx's)," an intimate ode to memories, swagger, and emotional girth streamed through his signature swirl, first single from his upcoming project set for release this September, "Songs About We…" Inspired by the underground sounds of alternative R&B and soul, the song also proudly pays homage to '90s Atlanta bass and the Jersey club bounce of today, a combination that forces your body to groove while simultaneously pulling on your heartstrings.
"HUGS (Love on Rx's)" is a witty ode to intoxicated highs and foggy memories. This is the kind of love that exists only in dim lighting and when alcohol hits your lips. Somehow, Jett makes it all sound amusing. Relatable and even beautiful in its dysfunction. The production on this one really sets it apart, a plucky and funky bassline that seems immediately fitted for dance floors or the late-night drive home. The Jersey club influence keeps it percussive and kinetic, while the soulful undertones remind us that Jett Jano knows what he's been doing, outside of his project.
That Baltimore musical genealogy is clear as crystal once a voice like this starts to harmonize with hints of hometown favorites, such as Dru Hill and Mario, seems inevitable, but the character within Jett's sound and style is smooth around the edges, brash by nature. "HUGS (Love on Rx's)" is both raw and painfully honest, but the pop sensibilities are songwriting perfected by the making of an artist who has been in training for years. The narrative does so in an updated, contemporary way, tackling timeless themes, a kind of love story we discuss in hushed tones, but to which many can relate. It's addictive, maybe toxic, but undeniably real.
The track serves as a great introduction to "Songs About We…" and if "HUGS" is anything to go by, Jett Jano is curating a whole vibe. With a video soon to be released and a project scheduled for full release on September 7th, this is an artist to keep in mind. So if you want another dash of that synthy R&B and your downtempo tunes delivered with a bit more tempo, give it a quick spin, "HUGS (Love on Rx's)" is going to be your next passion.
