Categorized under “concerning,” this song jolted me the very first time I listened to Justice’s 2016 album “Woman.” It stands out, and Justice has taught me to stay on my toes when listening to tracks of theirs that I’m unfamiliar with. Sometimes the French House duo is funny. Sometimes they’re scary. Sometimes they’re messing around and others, they’re trying to really say something. This track ties all of those directions together in one song that leaves you thinking “What was that? And how do I feel about it?”
Carried by a lingering, distant siren, the song slowly blooms into drums and a myriad of electronic elements and very few, yet pointed lyrics.
“It’s a Love S.O.S.. There is another love emergency!”
I’ve come to love this song best when driving at night. It sounds like a dissolute city that’s cold and hard, leaving anyone with a shred of hope reaching out for any kind of connection.
It’s sad, if you think about it, and I’ve had a hard time getting people to look past the jarring siren intro to really get to the meat of the song. Months after I showed it to a friend (who reacted unfavorably to it) I received a text asking about the name of the track, which makes me believe that it’s a grower.
An intriguing ad campaign teasing the then yet-to-be released music video was even more curious, showing a bloodied muscled warrior of a figure looking into the mirror. The full music video is artfully done, and it’s as disturbing as it is fascinating.

Haha, total guess work. Digging it but can appreciate the chin stroke factor on first pass. A balanced chemical therapy can increase potential palatability but a slippery rope it can be.
