Junior vs DJ Pleez goes for a sun-soaked, party atmosphere on the bumping sound of “Summer Love EP”. Done with a sly sort of tenderness, the entire EP is full of love. Anchored heavily in a neon-hued dance floor style, everything works in service of the groove. Stylistically, the collection owes a heavy debt to electro’s summery vibes, while it incorporates elements of pop, EDM, glistening R&B, and more into a singular whole. Infinitely playful, the songs deserve to be absolutely blasted. Fiery and passionate, the vocals rest at the heart of it all, featuring a tremendous amount of energy. Best of all, Junior vs DJ Pleez sculpt a unique sound one that has a warm welcoming presence to it. Playfulness expands off into the infinite while the whole of the work rolls through.
With “Last Man” they open the collection up on a high note, as the romantic notions of the song work wonders. Full of longing, the song has a yearning quality to it. On “Show U Off” they slow things down featuring glistening keyboards. By far the highlight the whole of the piece bounces with such determination. Rather soothing, “Keep Me Up” has a late-night vibe to it, as the song explores atmospherics with the utmost of ease. Swinging through in a display of earnest lovingness “Summertime (I Always Miss U)” gently glides along with the utmost of care and compassion. Tenderness flows through as the lyrics drive down to the very heart of a relationship. Ending the whole of the collection are two extended cuts of “Last Man” and “Keep Me Up”. Backup vocalists add to the wonder of “Last Man – Extended Version” as does the additional emphasis on the groove. Heavier and more minimal “Keep Me Up – Extended Version” has a hazy, dreamy vibe to it.
Effortlessly cool, Junior vs DJ Pleez’s “Summer Love EP” has a gorgeous sound, one so satisfyingly silky smooth and serene.
