Four years is a long-ass time no matter how you cut it, and Phoenix have now made us wait that long for not only their previous album Bankrupt! in 2013, but also the just-announced Ti Amo, out on June 9th. Dudes! Why? But the Parisian boys are immaculate in their craft of danceable, smooth arena rock, so the extended crafting time makes sense."J-Boy" is a consummate Phoenix song through and through: funky and gleaming, it's the ultimate Mediterranean yachting music. Yes, Phoenix have always been yacht rock, in case you were wondering. Listen to "J-Boy" above and welcome the sun with open arms and/or analog synth grooves.
