Listen to I Have Good Taste But For Some Reason I Like You
A Seattle soul-pop artist, JNA (Jen-Nuh) makes the most of this quick listen with 4 tracks tailor made for any dance club from the ‘70s on, and she’s got Thione Diop’s drums and Shane Hawley’s guitar along for the ride.
“Only One” gets the listen off to an energetic start, where funk, pop and disco meet at a very stylish and beat friendly intersection that’s guided by JNA’s smooth pipes, and “I Need You” follows with a light buzzing that quickly escalates into a playful and agile version of dance-pop.
“Freak” and “Tell Me Why” exit the listen, where the former recruits bright synth and firm drums for a dreamy EP highlight, and latter finds plenty of grooves to reside in as the infectious R&B and soulful demeanor makes for a very adventurous yet sophisticated finish.
If artists like Prince, Chic, Donna Summer, Diana Ross or KC And The Sunshine Band mean anything to you, this debut EP will be a great addition to your disco, funk and pop collection.
