“You are my favorite song
Your love is justified
You play me all the time
Your love is justified”
Memphis singer/rapper Jon Waltz released the second single, “Justified,” from his upcoming project and this artist’s impact continues to expand. The song grooves, I’ve had it on repeat since one of his production collaborators, Frank Leone, sent it over. It’s an uptempo jam, with some darkness beneath the surface. “Justified” premiered via Pigeons and Planes, Jon told them, “This song came from a time period of depression and self-reflection. I lost everything that I thought was important to me. I lost all of my friends, and this was the only way I knew how to deal with it. I hope anybody battling their personal demons is able to hear this song, embrace their reality, and then improve their reality.” It’s an excellent follow up to his hit, “Anna.” Jon Waltz is one of the most exciting artists I’ve heard recently, his sincerity and musical skill & determination are clearly illuminated by the growth and change from his last project, the well executed “Alyss” to “I’m Lonely” to what he’s creating now. Listen to him, it’s justified. Jon Waltz is enchantingly cold.
