HONEY
their new album HELLA drops on MARCH 4

The cover of HELLA, the upcoming third LP from Bay Area outfit Just Friends AKA JF Crew, is a quintessential west coast dream: fireworks spitfire their way across a starry night sky while below on the warm pavement, friends watch the explosions from their cars, awash in the warm glow. Vocalist Sam “Sammy” Kless says this ritual of nighttime Californian communion is what HELLA is all about.
“This is a record to listen to when you’re driving around at night time with your friends, with the person you like, or just by yourself,” Kless explains.
The crew’s latest single Honey is practically begging to be taken for one of those rides. It’s a thick, perfumed late-night slow-burn featuring vocalist Brianda E. Goyos León’s first-ever verse in her native Spanish, while Sacramento hip-hop artist Nate Curry brings an airy, saccharine bridge.

Gamechanger. The term probably doesn’t fit any album better than HELLA. Throughout, Just Friends’ effortlessly weaves marching band brass theatrics, R&B tenderness, funk brashness, and the occasional hard-rock pummeling to create a record that triangulates the sweetest spots between Dua Lipa, Rage Against The Machine, and Brockhampton. It’s bold and bright, with a vibe that alternates between sugary sweet and cheeky citrus sting.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
