Musically the soundscape for “Back 2 Me” by “J Fox” is fairly dreamlike and blissful. The instrumentation is light and uplifting, so this – combined with the explicit honesty and realness of the lyrics, makes for something that is supremely well crafted and ready to inspire and motivate even the most downhearted of audiences. A welcome and worthy return for the RnB musician.
At the same time as being surrounded by this euphoric meeting of the industrial world and the perhaps more natural one, which, in itself, is often enough to keep a listener contained, the music here develops and enthralls you with every beat and every moment that passes. You’re not simply contained or surrounded by the sound, you’re captivated by it, provoked to think more deeply, to explore your own imagination as the creative production subtly yet surely directs you through this manic yet blissful world of audio and video.
The structure of the track is notably unique and interesting to witness. The melodic hook comes through with the familiar vocal effect of much of modern RnB, however, it’s used here in an uncommon way, and the melody arrives as a fairly tuneful contrast to the weight of the surrounding sections. This awesome soul undoubtedly offers something fresh and true to his own preferences and his own sense of style and personality.
You can always, always pinpoint when a producer has approached a release with creativity and passion, an unquenchable drive to craft and express something from scratch, then when they are simply looking to make the beats that bring the audiences in. J Fox’s work is deeply creative, undeniably human in its emotional elements, yet mind-bending electronic and otherworldly when you really pay attention. On top of this, it’s music that you can unquestionably escape to, and that pulls it into a multitude of other categories. An absolute dream to witness. Listen loud.
