Love Jones vinyl

R&b duo They - songwriter Drew Love and producer Dante Jones - re-radicalise their sound with a passionate new album-length tribute to Black love and culture, following up nearly a decade chopping and reconstituting 90s r&b, new jack swing, and hip-hop to produce an essential but style fusional core. Gone are the big-name features and major-label pressures; Love.Jones reshapes itself with defiance, channelling the golden era of neo-soul with a pure, low-key but high-energy intimacy. Inspired by the 1997 romantic drama Love Jones, directed by Theodore Witcher, the themes across the record are similar: interpersonal poetics, navigation of trust issues, and candid portrayals of intimacy in urban settings.
