It is time for another album review and today, we will be looking at GOT7’s latest subunit, Jus2. The duo is made up of JB and Yugyeom, and based on what I know of them, R&B is highly anticipated on this album. They made their debut last week with Focus On Me, the title track off their mini-album, Focus. Interesting fact, Yugyeom is the leader of the unit, as I recently found out. This is particularly unusual since Yugyom is the youngest member of GOT7, which JB is one of the oldest. But facts aside, we are here to see what I thought of their album, so let’s get going!

1..Focus On Me (Title Track) – Click here to read the full review of Focus On Me. (8/10)

2. Drunk On You – Drunk On You is a typical instrumented R&B track that goes towards a sensual nature, something that I associated with R&B as I was growing up. Body waves for days. The song talks about the scent of their lover and the effect the said scent has on them. And based on the title, the scent is intoxicating. And I think the song does a good job of showcasing that through the final moments where the song becomes drowned out and slowly fades away into the background. Both the vocals from JB and Yugyeom are quite nice in the song, fitting well into the genre and direction. (8/10)

3. Touch – While Drunk On You follows a typical R&B setup, Touch takes on board the sensual sound with more dramatic instrumentation. In a way, it makes the song very powerful (just not in a bombastic way). The instrumental contains various synths to create a dramatic feel. I also thought the slow-paced drum beats were helpful to get this effect. The vocals were nice. It, at times (such as when they went into falsetto), did feel like it was going to be drowned out by the instrumentation. But the duo managed to keep it borderline balance and prevented the ‘drowning out’ from happening. (7.5/10)

4. Senses – Apart from the title track, Senses is the other song on this tracklist that caught my attention. The instrumental goes with this funky deep-house genre, which I think was the main reason to why I grabbed onto this song in my mind. I thought the vocals were rather interesting. Complimenting the deepness of the instrumentation, their vocals don’t really go too far up, staying relatively close to the deep tone of the music. I think this just makes the track even more impactful. My main issue with the song is that it felt too quick and obviously, I wanted more by the time it was over. (9/10)

5. Love Talk – Love Talk takes upon the house genre that Jus2 presented us in the previous song. But this feels more upbeat as it doesn’t feel as deep-toned as the previous track. I also liked how they added more of that funkiness to the track through the electronic/synth-based additions to the instrumentation, which instantly drags my attention over. However, as they had their vocals filtered to give off that electronic effect, their vocals were drowned out. While I think this is the typical consequence of the style they chose, I just don’t find it that appealing and hence, I am a little disappointed by the result. (7/10)

6. Long Black – Long Black refers to the caffeinated drink. But rather a warm drink, they liken their lover to the drink that keeps them awake and gives them energy. I think this was a nice song to listen to. Their vocals do shine throughout the track and I think that is because the R&B based instrumentation gives them the opportunity to do so. It also seems to be their brightest song out of the bunch, so it was nice to end the album without being serious or sensual, which has been the case for the songs on this album. (8/10)

Overall Album Rating – 7.9/10
