Mr. J. Medeiros - Neon Signs
Artist: Mr. J. Medeiros
Producer: The Stare
Album: Saudade
Label: De Medeiros
On his first Booth feature, Nothing Without Providence, Mr. J Madeiros resolved to march to the beat of his own drummer, never bending to the will of any man. Women? Well, that’s another story – as the Los Angeles underground mainstay so eloquently illustrates on new single Neon Signs, when certain females exercise their wiles, one has no choice but to follow where they lead. As on the aforementioned cut, The Stare (the artist’s own production crew) man the boards; over their understated yet driving keyboard-breakbeat arrangement, Mr. J spits in typically poetic style about a girl who pulls him in every time – years after he first encountered her in his youth (“I was 21, just a loaded gun…”), he finds himself back in her arms again, acknowledging his helplessness while admitting that she makes him “feel alive.” Stro, a fellow Procussions alum, assists on the guest tip, completing the picture with a smooth yet emotionally-charged hook. Has this chilly, contemplative selection made a Madeiros fan of you? If so – or if you were a devotee from the jump – then you won’t want to miss his Saudade LP when it hits the stores on June 14.

I liked it a lot. He has his own style and he is good story teller... (I'm a little biased b/c today has been f*cking hectic... this kicked-back beat helped to chill me out)

I like the whole track. The lyrics, hook and production work well together. The jazzy feel to hook is very nice.

Great track. Love the laid back, chill vibe to this song. Medeiros' flow is on point, and his lyrics are great. I thought he could have brought a little more energy to the track, despite the chill vibe, but the phenomenal hook made up for that. Great track

Not bad, not bad. I actually didn't like the hook, but the rest of the song is solid.

Definitely a solid song and the hook is nothing short of amazing. I agree with Itg, if Mr. J would have matched the energy from the hook I could def have given it 5 stars.
