“Watch Out” warns those seeking to mess with Janae Music. Lyricism has an edge, effortlessly cutting down anything that stands in her way. The verses feature such defiance to them, things that feel highly versatile. So much of the experience goes for the stately, from the drop of the beats to the bells echoing in the distance. Embracing this grandeur further highlights her vocals and delivery with this sense of urgency because she’s about to arrive. Rhythms have a languid pacing, making sure that their physicality matters.
A dark, heavy atmosphere takes over right from the start. Skittering snares have a delicacy to them. The bass rumbles off elegantly, going for that emotional resonance with a realness. Lyrics cascade ever downwards, making sure that it completely engrosses the listener. Her delivery races through as every angle feels like a new path for the attack. This is a contemporary full-on assault on the senses. Melodies here further add to the darkness that she brings into the fray. Bell rings to give it an almost 90s flair, for it has this timelessness that feels visceral. For the final stretch, it all seemingly evaporates into the infinite as she remains steadfast in taking out those who oppose her.
Janae Music completely and thoroughly confronts the listener with the “Watch Out” intensity.
