Intoxicating ambient R&B vapours from Jio, the tenderest alias of J. Albert, landing in gauzy ground between that recent John F.M. ace and The Wkend
Reviving an aegis first birthed for Quiet Time Tapes in 2019, Jiovanni Nadal presents his most vulnerable, sensual work as Jio, quite literally personalised with the inclusion of his sparingly used vocals. Like we said, it really calls to mind the soulache of that recent John F.M. joint, but dialled down to pillow talk degrees and practically smudging out the drums, leaving only watermark traces of percussive inference.
The three songs really do not outstay their welcome, and in fact could easily be twice as long and still have our attention. ‘Ride or Die’ has nowt to do with DMX (RIP) and everything to do with gently rubbing your temples and sweetly singing from the ether, while ‘4D4U4MEP’ sees him quietly express his woes on chiffon keys and new age pads, before the barely there touch and tip-of-tongue vocals in ‘HME~out’ takes this sound to a naturally faded conclusion.
Don’t sleep until you’ve got this cued up ready to drift off with.
