Jay-Jay Johanson - Fetish

For his 14th studio album, Jay-Jay Johanson delivers one of his most direct albums to date.

After a nuanced trilogy exploring introspection (“Bury the Hatchet” (2017), “Kings Cross” (2019), “Rorschach Test” (2021)), FETISH ushers in a new era.

Ethereal, melancholic, with cinematic atmospheres on one hand, dancefloor-ready and hypnotically joyful on the other.

An album where Jay-Jay masterfully performs a balancing act with the utmost consistency and harmony.
Half of the album is clearly inspired by the musical formation of the Modern Jazz Quartet, his father's favorite band, with whom he grew up and developed his musical ear. Nevertheless, this album sounds like a genuine new era for the singer, certainly due to the presence of tracks from the other half of FETISH: "uptempo" songs more geared towards a danceable vibe.

We are on a summer night outdoors, we are in a decadent club, we are on the corner of a bed and in other places besides: the album intoxicates us in multiple settings and possible interpretations.
