Drawing us in with a dimensional and meditative synthscape, designed with intricacy and featuring cerebral ad-libs, Javani J opens Safety Net with a captivating R&B vocal. The opus expands with textured percussion, poetic prowess and subtle harmonies.
We appreciate the intentional depth of the track, and the journey that Javani J is taking us on with exquisite production by TTotal. Speaking on the message of Safety Net, Javani J confesses, “This is a track where each of us are expressing our feelings, love and support to our female persons, but also offering that Safety Net because let’s be honest everyone woman need that in there life and in there relationships.”
This feels highly zeitgeist and important in the face of so much “manosphere” content, rooted in misogyny. What Javani J and his collaborators have created is a timeless piece of art that reflected the true protective nature of masculinity.
Sonically, fans of Drake, Vybez Kartel, and Mavado would absolutely be able to connect with the Afro-Caribbean mood of the track, and we could also imagine Safety Net locking in a sync placement in a more romantic scene on a show like Beauty in Black on Netflix.
We learn that Javani J is part of a fresh generation of UK artists who refuse to be limited by genre or expectation. His musical path started at the iconic Cobra Studios in Birmingham – a well-known creative space founded by the late Mr Noel Brown. It was there that Javani J met his collaborators, TTotal and Gblaxx. The song came to fruition when T Total shared the beat and hook with Javani J. Inspired by the sound, he wrote a verse, with Gblaxx later added the final part of the song.
At its core, Safety Net thrives on notions of emotional sincerity. It really offers a grounded perspective on love, reassurance and partnership at a time when society needs it the most. The chemistry between the collaborators feels organic, and allows the message to resonate with authenticity and a high production value.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Safety Net to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the growing discography of Javani J, including Rollin, and Bad Like the Summer.
