Cj TheBest
"One To The Head"
R&B
Game changer
Although compact, Cj TheBest's elaborate, artistically masterful music repertoire is an exciting collection of original songs that is guaranteed to pose the same question in every R&B music lover's mind - what the hell happened to R&B?
With so many new styles emerging today, each one seemingly taking on a more R Kelly approach than the previous, and moving from more romantic and loving themes to what can only be described as "slap me on my ass and take me from behind", "pimps and hoes" scenarios, it could sometimes be difficult to find the right record when navigating the vast libraries of music services like Spotify, Tidal, Google Play Music and Apple Music in search of something descent or at least varied to listen to. Just over a decade ago we had artists like Alicia Keys, Trey Songz, Jeremih, Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke singing love songs that gave fans a little hope but those days are gone apparently.
Cj made his debut back in 2012 with the release of this track. It took fans, A&R scouts, DJs and critics by surprise and brought his local R&B music scene to a stand still, making him one of the most closely watched independent artists in Austin, Texas, USA at the time and even up till this day. The track was featured on his first album, "The Best Album" which also featured other critically acclaimed singles like "Moves" and "Testing". It is still ranked as one of the most original independent R&B records out of the region this decade and still gets a lot of radio airplay and love from DJs just over 7 years after its release.
Explicit.
