Paris-based artist J Coubz is a child of the vibrant 80s and a maestro of sonic nostalgia, blending the rich sounds and vibes that defined the films of that era into his unique musical output. Rooted in classical music and currently contributing his talents to a symphony choir, J Coubz is on a mission to infuse his compositions with the melodic charm and romantic atmosphere reflective of his background.
First making his entrance as a solo artist in 2018, he released his debut single titled “Autumn Leaves.” After a hiatus from releasing music, this year he’s returned with a string of new tracks and brings us one of his recent releases with the new single titled “Prince.”
With “Prince,” J Coubz serves up the perfect taste of his highly original electronic sound. Capturing an instrumental synthwave aesthetic, the song opens with the pulse of a synth bass tones over a snapping drum beat before the arrangement builds with grooving synth lines, bouncy rhythm and playful topline melodies.
Crafting a spacey atmosphere with a winding synth lead, “Prince” takes you on an intriguing sonic journey that’s at once energising and subtly haunting. Equal parts fun and mysterious, it’s a slick synth jam packed full of danceable rhythm, colourful synth tones and memorable melodic writing.
The track is a sonic bridge between eras; echoing the synthwave and 80s vibes that informs his sonic vision, J Coubz crafts a sound that’s familiar yet offers something entirely new. The sonic palette he uses to paint his sound is expansive, capturing a retro aesthetic while infusing it with his own modern flair.
As J Coubz continues to share his original sound, “Prince” is a superb display of his ability to synthesise 80s nostalgia into a contemporary sonic offering and we can’t wait to see what else he’s got lined up for the future.
