Junior vs. DJ Pleez goes for a physical sort of dance pop with the passionate “Ready to Love”. With immaculate production that positively glistens, the pieces feel so crisp, teeming with life. Best of all are the vocals which show off an impressive range. Stylistically while the sound is anchored with this poppy sensibility, elements of hip-hop, R&B, even electronica flows into the mix with the utmost of ease. Right in the center of all of these and tying everything together is a tender form of lyricism, one that explores a sense of desire. Yearning and relationships help to sculpt these stories, ones that help to tie the entire collection together. At times the collection recalls the 80s R&B experiments of Neon Indian and other similarly-minded chillwave artists.

By far the highlight of the collection comes with the multifaceted opener and title track “Ready To Love”. Tactile details come to the forefront, from the soothing deep bass to the playful finger snaps. Multiple layers of sound work wonders as everything feels downright gorgeous. Slowing things down a little bit is the neon-hued realm of “Together (Forever)”. Dreamy to its core a degree of optimism enters into the mix, with a pulsing groove further adding to the sense of luxury that permeate the piece. Ending things on a high note is the lush and summery sound of “Love Ya”.
With “Ready to Love” Junior vs. DJ Pleez chooses a full-bodied, fully engrossing sort of sound, one that feels so real.
