Hip-Hop, Pop, Videos | Jon Bellion – Luxury ft. Audra Mae

Posted by on September 2, 2014

Jon Bellion Luxury freshnewtracks Coming off his last abstract visual production, “Simple and Sweet”, Jon Bellion returns with a track which counters his first single, “Munny Right”.  It brings me back to my middle school days when I would thrash on my trumpet.  The sweet sound of brass…that hardly ever came out of my instrument, but that’s besides the point.  Stringing together an anthem-esque production over slightly deeper, slightly raspy verses & the signature JB hook sound.  The OKC folk singer (previously recognizable from Avicii’s “Addicted to You”), Audra Mae, lends her powerful vocal chords for four very heavy lines to complement Jon’s effort.

You can hear Jon battling Miss Luxury in his head.  He continues to grow, but it’s a constant battle to keep his feet grounded and retain his roots.  This marks the third single off The Definition due out 9/23 and will also be followed with a short animated film later this week (likely Thursday) entitled “Jon Bellion’s Luxury”.

“We’re not sad at all We know you have to leave and we’re not mad at all You’ll be back in town and we’ll play basketball And if you fall off track we’ll be your adderall We won’t let your soul drown in luxury”

There aren’t many things on this earth that I enjoy as much as Jon Bellion’s music.  A loaded double bacon cheeseburger from Five Guys, a shampoo from the fine Asian woman at Supercuts, or my bar tab on some random dude’s card are a few exceptions.  In addition, a look behind the scenes into JB’s creative process often trumps the final musical product.  Why?  You can’t appreciate a sound like Jon’s without seeing the process from start to finish.  What goes on in Bellion’s head is a mystery; a ‘beautiful mind’ indeed.

Enjoy the above video of Jon producing his recent record, “Ungrateful Eyes” fro scratch in the studio.  While it seems I’m not the only one who enjoys these videos, Jon will be releasing these for each single leading up to the release of his highly anticipated fall album.
