French Kiwi Juice

Vincent Fenton, known as French Kiwi Juice (FKJ), has crafted a compelling album that is currently deserving of your attention. Based in Paris, Fenton’s music is a vibrant blend of electronica and jazz, and his 2017 self-titled album is a testament to his exceptional production skills.

The album, simply named after his stage name, effectively merges Fenton’s identity with his musical style, creating a cohesive and distinctive sound. Each of the twelve tracks is uniquely arranged, featuring a rich interplay of bubbling synths, steady basslines, and smooth vocals. The result is a genre-defying fusion of electronica and jazz, imbued with a French flair that adds a delightful texture to the music.

FKJ’s sound is both dynamic and sophisticated, offering a range of moods from upbeat deep house to atmospheric jazz. It is an ideal addition to playlists for various occasions—whether it’s a beach outing, a late-night bonfire, or a spring break flight. The album provides a perfect backdrop for enjoyable moments with friends and positive experiences.

Among the standout tracks are ‘We Ain’t Feeling Time’, ‘Go Back Home’, ‘Canggu’, and the introspective ‘Why Are There Boundaries’. The album’s vocals are primarily in English, although Fenton’s sound would undoubtedly retain its allure even if performed in French. FKJ is an album that will resonate with anyone who appreciates exceptional music and sound. It is a strong contender for being one of the most overlooked but outstanding releases of 2017, so be sure to experience it for yourself.
