1. Swedish group jj emerged in 2009 on the Gothenburg-based record label Sincerely Yours with a particularly gratifying take on the musical preoccupations common to much of the label's roster, which includes its founders, The Tough Alliance. jj are distributed in North America by Secretly Canadian. The band consists of Joakim Benon and Elin Kastlander.
jj's take on neo-Balearic indie pop filters Air France's tropical haze, The Tough Alliance's penchant for slyly irreverent appropriation, and The Honeydrips' fragile twee pop melodicism into a beguilingly lush, gently electronic style, reminiscent of prime Saint Etienne with a smoother, beachier sheen. jj also share their label mates' propensity for mystery, favoring an artfully enigmatic presentation. Vocalist Elin Kastlander provides a distinguishing sonic hallmark in the form of her warm, lusciously smooth alto.
jj released their debut single jj n° 1 in early 2009. A couple of months later they released their debut album jj n° 2. Their third album, jj n° 3, was released on March 9, 2010.
In late 2010, jj released a mixtape called Kills. The first single from Kills, "Let Them," sampled Akon's "Right Now (Na Na Na)." The single also featured a B-side entitled "I'm The One/Money On My Mind" that samples "Intro" by The xx.
Aside from their official releases, jj has also done several covers and new takes on contemporary songs. For example, they've recorded covers of Akon's "Troublemaker," Jeremih's "Birthday Sex," and the "Theme Song" for the classic 70s American tv series Welcome Back, Kotter. All of these tracks were released for free on the internet.
2. Brace yourself, North America – slosh rock is coming. Intrepid guitarist, singer and songwriter JJ Hendrix is mixing and mashing genres to concoct his own blend of musical intoxication which latches on to the listener and refuses to let go. Armed with a seemingly endless satchel of guitar solos and a knack for combining searing riffs with funky, grooving beats, this is the refreshing burst of danceable, yet imaginative rock the scene has been thirsting for.
Hailing from Ontario, JJ continues to make a name for himself throughout the indie music circuit thanks to his eclectic, yet trademark sound that drips and oozes from each and every song he pens. The far majority of his creations are instrumental, allowing the music to do the talking while the listener immerses themselves into the world of slosh rock. Driven by “creativity in its pristine state,” this unique style feeds off the unbridled, rampant inspiration and experimentation embodied by JJ himself.
Joined by Brad Heatherly on drums, Yeruvim Krantsky on guitar and bassist Al Finter, JJ’s Music Retaliation continues to roll on, releasing their latest single “Grunky Gillers and the Fillers” through CD Baby and other digital retailers. With influences from Jimi Hendrix, as well as the blues and rock greats of yesterday and today, the foursome continues to carve out their own niche within the industry. Serving as a small sampling of what’s to come, the single drives sole songwriter JJ to write and record for the group’s upcoming full-length album.
JJ Hendrix earned his nickname from musician and producer Scott Hill of Astranova Records, who recorded with former Black Sabbath keyboardist and producer for Robert Plant, Jez Woodroffe. The pair collaborated on a well-received record Ancient Future in 2010. He released his solo debut Return Regalia in 2008, which generated thousands of plays via Spotify and Last.fm.
JJ’s Music Retaliation’s new single “Grunky Gillers and the Fillers” is available to purchase through CD Baby now, as well as JJ’s full-length Return Regalia. Check him out on ReverbNation to sample some of the delectably fun slosh rock that continues to emanate from his guitar amp today.
3. JJ is the name of a 90s pop group from Salford, England, fronted by the eponymous Jan Johnston.
4. JJ aka Alcapone-JJ is a dancehall mc from Gugulethu, Cape Town. Having been introduced to African Dope Studio boss DJ Dope by fellow Gugulethu crew Chronic Clan, he was inducted into the African Dope Soundsystem project, where he shone. Following tours by the African Dope Soundsystem posse to Germany in 2005 and 2006, JJ secured a record deal in Berlin and relocated there. For up to date info including news of his album release, see JJ's Myspace page.
5. There is also a Dutch artist named JJ. He appears on the Water, Wind & Sails compilation on Dutch label WM Recordings.
6. JJ is one of the few solo singers that has been acknowledged by this prestigious producer, so many are anticipating how she’ll fare against the other girl groups she’ll be competing against.

The JJ and The XX's song Still is a powerful anthem about resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The opening lines, "still moving under gunfire, where the weak lies, when no one's beside," suggest a dangerous and chaotic environment, where there is little support or protection. Despite this, the singer declares that they will fight until the bitter end, refusing to give up even when their "knees cry." The repeated refrain, "till the morning light, and sunlight will shine on me" conveys a sense of hope and determination, as the singer envisions a brighter future where they will finally triumph over their struggles.
The song's focus on resilience and strength in the face of adversity is further emphasized in the verses that follow. The lyrics urge listeners to be cautious and strategic in their approach to life, warning that "rules of engagement" should be followed and intentions kept hidden. However, the song also emphasizes the importance of self-expression and standing up for oneself, noting that "how you make your stand, how you play your plan, that makes you the man."
Overall, Still is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages listeners to persevere through difficult times while remaining true to themselves and their values.

Still moving under gunfire
Despite the danger and violence around me, I am still determined to keep moving forward
Where the weak lies
In a world where the vulnerable are often taken advantage of or ignored
When no one's beside
Even when I feel alone and unsupported
I will fight, till the end times
I refuse to back down or give up, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges
Till my knees cry
Until I am physically and emotionally exhausted and drained
I'll get up, get up (yeah)
But I will still find the strength to pick myself back up and keep going
In the night sky
Even when things seem dark and uncertain
Where enemies hide
When there are people or obstacles standing in my way or trying to bring me down
Till I die
I will keep fighting until my last breath
Till the Morning Light
Through the long and difficult journey until a brighter, better future arrives
And Sunlight will shine on me (yeah)

I got summer on my mind, nowhere else though
Lord take me downtown or to you
People show me love but I can't take it
What I said was true, real pain, can't fake it
Still they wanna be with me, still they wanna leave with me
Still they wanna feel like me, still I can't believe it's me
Time you spend on me, I spend mine on being free
On a flight to NYC, I see you when you see me
[Hook]
I wonder why, why you have to lie
When you've seen me cry, when you've seen me shy
When you've seen me high, when you will see me die
[Verse 2]
Where we from, you don't know, you will know where we will go
Yeah I'm here, where are you? There's nothing you can't do
We up in here with one thing on our mind, let's leave with something
Then we play Still Dre, my way, all day, in Beats by Dre
Then we go and get buzzed, get drunk, get crunk, get fucked up
[Outro]
I am S/Y, no lie, at least you get to witness
Kill so many songs, you'd think I have a hitlist
That's Drake, well we love Young Money business
Cause we're young and we get money

حبيبتي وأُختي العزيزة مليسا الغالية...💜💙🧡
أُهدي إليكِ هذهِ الكلماتِ...🌹❤️
لعلّها تلامسُ شِغافَ قلبِكِ...؟؟!!
فتفتحُ لكِ آفاقَ التّأَمُّلِ ومُحاسبةَ النّفسِ في الحياة...
راجِياً من اللّٰهِ العليّ القديرِ أن تنالَ حُبّكِ ورِضاكِ...
( بسمِ اللّٰهِ الرّحمٰنِ الرّحيم )
السّلامُ عليكِ ورحمةُ اللّٰهِ وبركاتهُ...
أَمّا بعدُ :-
فكلُّ إنسانٍ لم يُخالط قلبُهُ بشاشةَ الإيمانِ وحلاوةَ الحبّ الإلٰهيّ فهو إنسانٌ غيرُ ناضجٍ ومعدومٌ...
فإذا عاش وحيداً يوماً ما ، قد خرج عن صمتهِ... طالباً حقّهُ المشرُوعَ ولكنّهُ غيرُ مدروسٍ...؟؟!!
يبحثُ عمّا يُعوّضهُ عن الإحساس بالنّقصِ ، ولم يستمع جيّداً إلىٰ نداءاتِ الرُّوحِ النَّورانيّةِ الّتي تهديهِ إلىٰ عالَمٍ ومَرتعٍ زاخِرٍ بِالكراماتِ والأنوارِ والأسرارِ والتّجلّياتِ الإلٰهيّة...
الّتي ينكشفُ بها الزّمانُ والمكانُ المناسبينِ لِكُلّ إنسانٍ كان يتوخّىٰ الحذرَ وهو في مسيرهِ المُقدّسِ نحوَ الحُبّ الإلٰهيّ...
من كُلّ ما من شأنهِ أن يُعكّرَ أَجواءَ ذلك الصّفاءِ الرُّوحيّ الرُّومانسيّ الجميلِ ، حين يكونُ مع اللّٰهِ سُبحانهُ...
فتنفتِحُ عيناهُ الحالمتينِ آخرَ السّحرِ ذاتَ يومٍ ، حين يكونُ مُنشغِلاً في قيام اللّيلِ كأزهارِ النّيلُوفرِ...
كأنّهما تنظرانِ بِلهَفٍ إلىٰ أملِ نفيسٍ لم يعهدهُ من قبلُ...
يرىٰ فيهِ أَحلامَهُ الَتي تُنسِيهِ كُلّ جُروحِهِ وآلامِهِ وَأَشجانِهِ وَأَحزانِهِ...؟؟!! 😮😮
الّتي لطالما أَضلّ طريقها ؛ بِسببِ عقلِهِ ونظرتِهِ القاصِرةِ في الحياة...
حيثُ يحملُ معهُ الأشواقَ ويزُفُّ إلىٰ مسامعِهِ البُشرياتِ... 🌈🌈🌈🎉🎉🎉
ولكن اعلمي يا حبيبتي مليسا أنّهُ لا يَدرُجُ نحوَ هذا الأملِ الكبيرِ ، فينالُ هذا النُّزُلَ الكريمَ مَن المولىٰ الحكيمِ مَن كانت حياتهُ جافّةً لا رُوحَ فيها...؟؟!!
لكنّهُ علىٰ النّقيضِ من ذلك...
مَن صابَرَ نفسهُ ولم يستثقلْ حملَ الجروحِ والصّدماتِ والآهاتِ...
حتّىٰ يجنيَ ثمارَ جهدهِ واجتهادهِ ، الّذي كان ومازالَ يعتبرُهُ وقوداً ونُوراً يهدي بصيرتهُ ، ويشحذُ هِمّتهُ نحوَ التّقرُّبِ إلىٰ معرفةِ خالقهِ ومولاهُ...!!!
لِيَنضُوَ عن كاهِلِ أيّامِهِ الخالياتِ غبارَ اعوجاجِهِ عن طاعةِ اللّٰهِ...
فيَغدُو قلبُهُ وجسدُهُ لَيلَتئذٍ مُتنعّمَينِ نعيماً يجِلُّ عن المثيلِ وعن النّظيرِ...!!!
لِما أَبصرَ بِأُمّ عينيهِ الحالمتينِ ما وهبَهُ لهُ اللّٰهُ الغنيُّ الكريمُ...؟؟!!
فتُزهِرُ أَيّامُهُ...
وتنفرِجُ هُمومُهُ ، وتتهلّلُ أَسارِيرُهُ...!!!
فيتبدّلُ حالُ حياتِهِ ، من الضّيقِ إلىٰ السَّعةِ ، ومن ظلمةِ الحياةِ ورُكودِها إلىٰ أنوارِ الحرّيّةِ وانطلاقها... 🕊️🕊️
الّتي سيأسَفُ يومَها قلبُهُ الّذي أَضحىٰ مُستنيراً بِنورِ اللّٰهِ ورحمتهِ وهداهُ عن نيلها طويلاً ؛ لِما غفلَ عنها حين نأتْ بِكَلكلِها اللّياليَ والأيّامُ...!!! 😢😢
فيطمئنُّ ساعتها قلبُهُ المُنشرِحُ بِذاك الطّيفِ الجميلِ ، الّذي يشفي قلبَهُ العليلَ ، ويُريحُ بالَهُ المُفتقِرَ الذّليلَ...؟؟!!
والّذي أَهَلَّ عليهِ من قِبَلِ اللّٰهِ الكريمِ الجليلِ...!!!
😊😊
والّذي يحملُ بين جَنَباتِهِ أيضاً نسائمَ ذكرياتِهِ الجميلةِ أَيّامَ لهوِهِ وصِباهُ...
الّتي كانت تضُجُّ بِالضّحِكاتِ البريئةِ ، وَلا سِيّما العبثِيّاتِ الغريبةَ الّتي تنطوي علىٰ نسيانِ تِلك الحقائقِ المُرّةِ ، الّتي يعيشُ مع الأَسَفِ بنُو الإنسانِ تحت ظلامِها الحالِكِ حياتهُمُ البائِسةَ...؟؟!!
كان معكِ يا حبيبتي وأُختي العزيزة مليسا الغاليةُ والحسناءُ الجميلةُ الإمامُ المهديُّ المنُنتظرُ محمّد صادق عُبيد الكُبيسيُّ عليكِ وعليّ من اللّٰه أزكىٰ الصّلاة وأبهىٰ السّلام...!!! 💚💚💚💜💜💜💙💙💙🧡🧡🧡
أنا أُحبُّكِ... 💔💔💋💋
