There’s something about synthpop that makes me swoon, and Joho delivers it in spades. This single is a perfect combination of Hip Hop, Drill and Synthpop, with an 80’s vibe that gives it a very cinematic feel.
The vocals have a great range, and the lyrics are honest, vulnerable, and poignant. Joho brings his A-game lyrically and vocally on this track.
We can say that Joho’s “Just Be Honest” is a brilliant track that blends this pop vibe with drill hip-hop in a way that is both unique and trailblazing for the future of music.
The song tells the story of a man who is asking everyone in his life, to be honest with him and tell him what they really think, while also acknowledging how much he needs to do the same thing.
