REVIEW
01. He Is The Same
https://youtu.be/1vAqEzZRqLk?si=4sXxqAH5B0ICq8zS
[Verse 1]
Still living in his dad's house, 24 years old
He could buy a few pads, but he just like to stay home
No, he never took the fast route, now the plaque’s on deck
But they still make him take the trash out, keep his ass in check
[Chorus]
Same kids from the high school, jump shot still flame
Couple million in the bank, but
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Nothing has changed, he is the same
[Verse 2]
His assistant is his best friend
Lost his dad that day
Really puts it in perspective
What the fuck's a bad day?
Sister told him "Keep your head right," 24 years old
Real women need love, fake bitches want gold
[Chorus]
Same kids from the high school, jump shot still flame
Couple million in the bank, but
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Nothing has changed, he is the same
[Verse 3]
All he needed was a platform, built a real fanbase
Took 'em with him when the deal came
Selling out in every state
Signed a deal after his first tape
But he kept it on the low
They can never say he sold out
So why they come to every show?
[Chorus]
Same kids from the high school, jump shot still flame
Couple million in the bank, but
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Nothing has changed, he is the same
[Outro]
Nothing has changed, we are the same
Nothing has changed (nothing)
All the same, we are the same
Nothing has changed, we are the same
We are the same

04. New York Soul (Pt. ii)
https://youtu.be/SiFLVYPTrQY?si=UQSPA5iXWjE5x-Mo
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Bring me down in Brooklyn if I lose my life
Push me down the Hudson and turn on the radio
Long Island's only smiling cause my soul is flying
I did everything for New York
[Verse 1: Jon Bellion]
New Yorker in California, packed Brooklyn up in this bag
I'm in Malibu with the Bronx, she's in Kevin love with your man
Kryie needed a king, I'm just making you understand
What I rustle up in the West, cause my reach is Kevin Duran
Records are very pop with a pocket deeper than sand
A juxtaposition, Sam Cooke, Billy Joel, Steely Dan
Changing the fucking spectrum, I need you to understand
Like I took the fall for some drugs, I've been nominated for Grams (It's Grammy's)
Skinny genius got blueprints up in my hand
So the minute you hear my single, just know that it's in my plan
Advantage of demographics, I'm Jigga, Bruno and Sam Smith
I'm moving business, I'm Taylor Swift in a van
This game, boy, is very, very advanced
I'm very, very New York, be very, very aware
How very, very Dinero I can get on a snare
Letting go of your throat, I can sing the hook if you scared
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Bring me down in Brooklyn if I lose my life
Push me down the Hudson and turn on the radio
Long Island's only smiling cause my soul is flying
I did everything for New York
[Verse 2: Jon Bellion]
Meet me in the red dress when the stakes side, that's porterhouse
She's 5 foot 9 in a Rolls Royce, that's Slaughterhouse
Benny Hahn, Hahn's and a tall boy, we ordered out
The hell you need a chaser when all this liquor is watered down
Wait, see all them lines is fuck boy chat
Don't be so impressed by all that fuck boy rap
This money gon' leave you empty if you just want that
See, my joy lies in the son and you should jump on that
She'll make you think that she the wife and that you found the one
But she just looking for some powder, not the talcum one
I’m not judging, here in the middle like I’m Malcolm, son
Verbal trigger like you should never play around with guns
Bow down to no crown, these goobers out for the count
Cuz the Sour Diesel was loud, I was pounding face in the lounge
Sober dope, moving proud, like allowance found in the crowd
With a thousand counting me out, but I'm here and killing the crowd now, blow
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
Bring me down in Brooklyn if I lose my life
Push me down the Hudson and turn on the radio
Long Island's only smiling cause my soul is flying
I did everything for New York
[Verse 3: Jon Bellion]
Let me give the kids just a little help
Tell 'em money is not the key to wealth
Cause if it can stop the pain
How the fuck did you explain the bunch of millionaires that killed themselves?
So you can take me off your winner's shelf
I got that fifth vision, I'm bringing help
I know the demons in the room gon' say it's more that I can chew
But now all I hear is the dinner bell
I need a family that loves me right
Don't need a chain, don't need a glove at night
I had a conversation with an angel
She told me I'd cheat death if I stayed away from the party life
Dropped off in the land where the artists play
Where God's way is the hardest way
Told myself I'm keeping my faith
If it costs me my reputation, then take it, I'll give it all away
05. Fashion
https://youtu.be/wvr1bidh14k?si=tSx5BfbyOPzhKejD
[Verse 1]
I hit 'em with the boots in July
Bitch, I don't need snow
I gotta go bigger, I gotta go bigger
Five thousand on a coat cause it's fly
No, I don't speak broke
Still, I gotta go bigger, fuckin' go figure
[Pre-Chorus]
There's an aching, there's a hole in my chest
It's amazing that the crown of a king doesn't change me
It's amazing
[Chorus]
Baby, that we all want, we all need fashion
Baby, that we all want, we all need fashion
Have I lost control? A voice says I might need my soul
But that's when I remember
That we all want, we all need fashion
[Verse 2]
Lost in it, livin' life through a phone
Now it's all I know
I gotta go bigger, I gotta go bigger
Yeah, five million dollar mans
It's a cure, stuck in high school mode
Still, I gotta go bigger, fuckin' go figure
[Pre-Chorus]
There's an aching, there's a hole in my chest
It's amazing that the crown of a king doesn't change me
It's amazing
[Chorus]
Baby, that we all want, we all need fashion
Baby, that we all want, we all need fashion
Have I lost control? A voice says I might need my soul
But that's when I remember
That we all want, we all need fashion
[Bridge]
Might be gold, but that shit's still a chain
Might be gold, but that shit's still a chain
Might be gold, that shit's still a chain
Might be gold, but that shit's still a...
[Chorus]
Baby, that we all want, we all need fashion
Baby, that we all want, we all need fashion
Have I lost control? A voice says I might need my soul
But that's when I remember
That we all want, we all need fashion
[Outro]
Might be gold, that shit's still a chain
Might be gold, that shit's still a chain
Might be gold, that shit's still a chain
Might be gold, might be gold
06. Maybe IDK
https://youtu.be/OLYObm5xNy8?si=6Ygp2Lp5_F7bCHSx
[Verse 1]
I wonder why I get paranoid when I’m high
I wonder why I say yes to everyone in my life
I wonder why I can’t run that fast in my dreams
I wonder why I feel short when I know my money’s tall
I wonder why I miss everyone and I still don’t call
I wonder why I can’t run that fast in my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Although I guess if I knew tomorrow
I guess I wouldn’t need faith
I guess if I never fell, I guess I wouldn’t need grace
I guess if I knew His plans, I guess He wouldn’t be God
[Chorus]
So maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
Maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
But maybe that’s okay
Maybe that’s okay, maybe that’s okay
Maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
But maybe thats okay
[Verse 2]
I wonder why I feel emptiness and I sing these blues
I wonder why I feel hopelessness when I watch the news
I wonder why I can’t find my voice in my dreams
I wonder why they say hate your brother and hide your gold
I wonder why we all fear the things that we might not know
I wonder why I can’t find my voice in my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Although I guess if I knew tomorrow
I guess I wouldn’t need faith
I guess if I never fell, I guess I wouldn’t need grace
I guess if I knew His plans, I guess He wouldn’t be God
[Chorus]
So maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
Maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
But maybe that’s okay
Maybe that’s okay, maybe that’s okay
Maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
But maybe thats okay
[Bridge]
All this shit, I can’t explain
Is it by design or random fate, yeah
[Chorus]
So maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
Maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
But maybe that’s okay
Maybe that’s okay, maybe that’s okay
Maybe I don’t know, maybe I don’t know
But maybe thats okay
07. Woke The F*ck Up
https://youtu.be/axKguLdeMEY?si=NK3IX57r3QkjAT2w
[Verse 1]
Take your clothes and rip 'em, rip 'em off
Call these hoes and tip 'em, tip 'em off
You can tell them you are mine
I'm sick of, sick of games
No more time, you lit the, lit the flame, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
We live in an age where everything is staged
Where all we do is fake our feelings
I've been scared to put myself so out there
Time is running out, yeah
Need to let you know that
[Chorus]
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds, yeah-eh
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds, yeah-eh
[Verse 2]
Take these walls and rip 'em, rip 'em down
Take my (uh) and snip 'em, snip 'em now
I will tell them I am yours and very, very proud
I am forced to give in, give in now cause
[Pre-Chorus]
We live in an age where everything is staged
Where all we do is fake our feelings
I've been scared to put myself so out there
Time is running out, yeah
Need to let you know that
[Chorus]
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds, yeah-eh
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds, yeah-eh
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds, yeah-eh
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds
[Bridge]
We live in an age where everything is staged
And all we do is fake our feelings
I'm so scared to put myself so out there
Time is running out, yeah
Need to let you know that
[Chorus]
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds, yeah-eh
Last night I woke the fuck up
I realized I need you here, as desperate as that sounds, yeah-eh
08. Overwhelming
https://youtu.be/j0XRUgOeL2k?si=m3MXitd3SOvT4YZL
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I think I got one
Her soul is presidential like Barack, son
Yeah, she call me Goose, I call her Maverick cause of Top Gun
They say we annoying, they just jealous cause we got love
Yeah, I got a hot one
She don't want a problem if there's not one
But people come around and start some stupid shit to start one
She give you the people's fuckin' elbow like The Rock, son
[Pre-Chorus]
There is a potion in your lips, so sweet, I'd die
There is an ocean in your hips, so deep, I'd dive
I hear an opus when we kiss that completes my life
Yeah, I think I got one
And every single little thing about her is so
[Chorus]
Overwhelming
Everything about you is so overwhelming
When I think about you, it gets overwhelming
Cause everything about you is so overwhelming
Come over here and overwhelm me
[Verse 2]
"Hey, do I impress you?"
I really like the way you rock a sweatsuit
When you working out and I'm just watching how your legs move
They would think that you was, like, developed in a test tube
You deserve a theme song
You could be the shoulder that I lean on
Love it when you're late for work and try to slip your jeans on
You be bumping Chili Peppers all up in your Nissan
[Pre-Chorus]
There is a potion in your lips, so sweet, I'd die
There is an ocean in your hips, so deep, I'd dive
I hear an opus when we kiss that completes my life
Yeah, I think I got one
And every single little thing about her is so
[Chorus]
Overwhelming
Everything about you is so overwhelming
When I think about you, it gets overwhelming
Cause everything about you is so overwhelming
Come over here and overwhelm me
[Bridge]
You write checks that my ass can't even cash
I bit a little more than I can chew
I bit a little more than I can chew
You write checks that my ass can't even cash
I bit a little more than I can chew
I bit a little more than I can chew
Cause everything about you is so
[Chorus]
Overwhelming
Everything about you is so overwhelming
When I think about you, it gets overwhelming
Cause everything about you is so overwhelming
Come over here and overwhelm me
09. Weight Of The World (Feat. Blaque Keyz)
https://youtu.be/f0LsolixaY0?si=L4gp8UCUlcDtCZmt
[Verse 1: Jon Bellion]
We're six feet underground inside my bed
And all the little letters in my head
We're spelling suicide but not by choice
Was calling out for help, but heard no noise, no noise
[Pre-Chorus 1: Jon Bellion]
Only the sound of my back breaking
But ever since you and your arms saved me
[Chorus: Jon Bellion]
I don't hold the weight of the world anymore
I don't hold the weight of the world anymore
I don't hold the weight of the world anymore
I don't hold the weight of the world anymore
[Verse 2: Jon Bellion]
The only friend I had wore black and red
The darker instruments inside my head
We're playing suicide but not by choice, by choice
Was calling out for help, but heard no noise, no noise
[Pre-Chorus 2: Jon Bellion]
Only the sound of my hands shaking
But ever since you and your arms saved me
[Chorus: Jon Bellion]
I don't hold the weight of the world anymore
I don't hold the weight of the world anymore
I don't hold the weight of the world anymore
I don't hold the weight of the world anymore
[Break: Jon Bellion]
Don't hold the weight of the world
I don't hold the weight, I don't hold the weight
[Verse 3: Blaque Keyz]
This the flow that helped me tip the scale
I'm stackin' chips like Chippendale's without the strippin'
Get the bailiff out cause Mr. Bellion's out the cell
We skip the bail and out the jail
We hit the trail, the route we took is hard to smell it out
So get to sniffin', equipped with the gift of spit like the lisp on a chicken plate and a flick mixed with Spiderman
I'm brighter than LEDs on your TV
Keyz is sharp as a dagger
Who walks around with a swagger of Kenny G
When you see me, chill with the chatter
Got the skill of a master craftsman whose passion is rappin'
Snackin' on actors, so pass me a napkin
Chip on the shoulder, the kid is colder than both Dakotas
The winter soldier, assassin coming after your captain
For honor and every day, I'm getting stronger
No one will shock the world, got a buzz like a mini Blanka
When they apply the pressure, it's heavier than E. Honda
Got what it takes to be great, but can't hold this weight any longer
10. The Good In Me
https://youtu.be/n1UPp1qVHMQ?si=87JO_xe1ALl2TVC9
[Intro]
1, 2, 3 (Vocalizing)
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 (Vocalizing)
[Verse 1]
You know that he trusts you and I know that he loves you
But somehow you convinced me again
My foundation rumbles and all my morals crumble
My father's warnings run through my head
[Chorus]
Your heart's a vine that I've bled trying to climb
Yeah, you're making a ruin of me
Try to survive, keep my spirit alive
But like a knife in the woods
Yeah, you hunt down the good in me
Like a knife in the woods
Yeah, you hunt down the good in me
Like a knife in the woods
Yeah, you hunt down the good in me
[Verse 2]
One temptation sparked this
Now I can feel the darkness
It's my own fault but you had this planned
All of me, you take now, like criminals and shakedowns
Yeah, you make me forget who I am
[Chorus]
Your heart's a vine that I've bled trying to climb
Yeah, you're making a ruin of me
Try to survive, keep my spirit alive
But like a knife in the woods
Yeah, you hunt down the good in me
But like a knife in the woods
Yeah, you hunt down the good in me, hey
Like a knife in the woods
Yeah, you hunt down the good in me
[Bridge]
All of your good is mine
All of your good is mine
All of your good is mine
All of your good is mine
[Outro]
Like a knife in the woods
Yeah, you hunt down the good in me, hey
11. Morning In America
https://youtu.be/TGVqPPat808?si=t31ieT2VfD3aOTf4
[Verse 1]
1600, 1600, 1600 on the SATs
Said they gettin', said they gettin'
Said they gettin' me an SUV
Just a couple miles from the lights of the city
Pour a little liquor in my Starbucks Venti
Just 11, just 11 when they said I had the ADD
I've been trying to keep up with all of these great expectations
So I keep on faking
[Chorus 1]
We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it
But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry
Cause my dad's office door's always closed
But I stopped knocking
Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
[Verse 2]
At the locker, at the locker
At the locker selling time release
Where's the party? Where's the party?
Where's the party? There's a house empty
Didn't learn a lesson, didn't use protection
Doesn't wanna keep the baby
Throwing up in the alley, in the alley
Older brother looking for me
[Chorus 2]
We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it
But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry
Cause my dad's office door's always closed
But I stopped knocking
Cause there's some things I don't wanna know
We're secretly out of control, nobody says it
When the class president overdosed, we all pretended
It was rare, it was shocking and all the town was talking
Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
And everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
[Bridge]
No, no?No, no
We're secretly out of control, nobody knows me
And my friends all addicted to porn, can't keep a girlfriend
Cause the great expectations got all us imitating
Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows
[Chorus 2]
We're secretly out of control, nobody knows it
But my mom's got a problem with oxy's and she's angry
Cause my dad's office door's always closed
But I stopped knocking
Cause there's some things I don't wanna know
We're secretly out of control, nobody says it
When the class president overdosed, we all pretended
It was rare, it was shocking and all the town was talking
Yeah, we're secretly out of control and everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
And everyone knows
Oh, it's morning in America
Oh, it's morning in America
And everyone knows
12. iRobot
https://youtu.be/6SCr_okT4U0?si=umbAmVfuTP8KNI9T
[Verse 1]
I was a human, breathing and thinking
Eating and drinking, philosophizing
I was a human, before you killed me
And ripped my heart out, I knew what love was
[Pre-Chorus]
Now when they ask me, I just reply slow
And sound like an iPhone
I do not know love, I am a robot
(Ba ba ba ba bam bada bum)
I do not know love, I am a robot
(Ba ba ba ba bam bada bum)
I used to know love
[Chorus]
Cause I had a fire, passion and desire
Now all I require are circuits and wires
Inside was an ocean of soul and emotion
Then you cut me open, now all that I know is
[Verse 2]
I am a robot, thoughtless and empty
Don't know who sent me, don't know who made me
Electric robot, everything's gray now
Numb to the pain now, I knew what love was
[Pre-Chorus]
Now when they ask me, I just reply slow
And sound like an iPhone
I do not know love, I am a robot
(Ba ba ba ba bam bada bum)
I do not know love, I am a robot
(Ba ba ba ba bam bada bum)
I used to know love
[Chorus]
Cause I had a fire, passion and desire
Now all I require are circuits and wires
Inside was an ocean of soul and emotion
Then you cut me open, now all that I know is
[Bridge]
I am a robot
I am a robot
I used to know love
[Chorus]
Cause I had a fire, passion and desire
Now all I require are circuits and wires
Inside was an ocean of soul and emotion
Then you cut me open, now all that I know is
[Outro]
I am a robot
13. Guillotine (Feat. Travis Mendes)
https://youtu.be/h2ymJcCwS_s?si=Ygc7Hk_i1KUVOFkZ
Sleep on me
feel the rhythm in my chest
just breathe
I will stay so the lantern
in your heart won't fade
The secrets you tell me
I'll take to my grave
There's bones in my closet
but you hang stuff anyway
And if you have nightmares
we'll dance on the bed
I know that you love me love me
Even when I lose my head
Guillotine guillotine
Even when I lose my head
Guillotine guillotine
Even when I lose my head
Kiss my lips
feel the rhythm
of your heart and hips
I will pray so the castle
that we've built won't cave
The secrets you tell me
I'll take to my grave
There's bones in my closet
but you hang stuff anyway
And if you have nightmares
we'll dance on the bed
I know that you love me love me
Even when I lose my head
Guillotine guillotine
Even when I lose my head
Guillotine guillotine
Even when I lose my head
You fill me up you fill me up
You set my soul ablaze
You fill me up you fill me up
Your love is so amazing
You fill me up you fill me up
You set my soul ablaze
You fill me up even
when I lose my head
Guillotine guillotine
Even when I lose my head
Guillotine guillotine
Even when I lose my head
Guillotine
Even when I lose my head
Guillotine guillotine
Even when I lose my head
You fill me up you fill me up
You set my soul ablaze
You fill me up you fill me up
Your love is so amazing
You fill me up you fill me up
You set my soul ablaze
You fill me up even
when I lose my head
14. Hand Of God (Outro)

[Verse 1: Jon Bellion]
My head spins and I've been sipping
I've been sipping, I've been sipping lately
All my sins, I've been tripping, I've been tripping, my God
Brand new life, I've been looking
I've been looking, I've been looking lately
All these nights, they've been cooking
They've been cooking me raw
[Pre-Chorus: Jon Bellion]
I am just a man, I am just a man
Who lusts, gives, tries
Sometimes I lose my way
[Chorus: Jon Bellion]
Tears at a funeral, tears at a funeral, I might break
Angry at all the things, angry at all the things I can't change
When you're lost in the universe, lost in the universe
Don't lose faith
My mother says, "Your whole life's in the hand of God"
[Post-Chorus: Jon Bellion]
Break it down
Your whole life's in the hand of
Your whole life's in the hand of God
[Verse 2: Jon Bellion]
My ex girl, I've been seeing, I've been seeing
I've been seeing lately
She's got hope that we're getting back together, my God
I just know that I'm horny and I'm lonely, just admit it's crazy
She just holds on to something that she knows is long gone
Damn...
[Pre-Chorus: Jon Bellion]
I am just a man, I am just a man
Who lusts, gives, tries
Sometimes I lose my way
[Chorus: Jon Bellion]
Tears at a funeral, tears at a funeral, I might break
Angry at all the things, angry at all the things I can't change
When you're lost in the universe, lost in the universe
Don't lose faith
My mother says, "Your whole life's in the hand of God"
[Post-Chorus: Jon Bellion]
Break it down
Your whole life's in the hand of
Your whole life's in the hand of God
[Chorus: Sheldon Ray & The Andre Crouch Choir]
Tears at a funeral, tears at a funeral, I might break
Angry at all the things, angry at all the things I can't change
When you're lost in the universe, lost in the universe
Don't lose faith
My mother says, "Your whole life's in the hand of God"
Nothing has changed, he is the same
"Your whole life's in the hand of God"
Nothing has changed, he is the same
"Your whole life's in the hand of God"
Nothing has changed, he is the same
[Outro: Sheldon Ray & The Andre Crouch Choir]
Bum be-dum, bum bum badum, bum be-dum, bum bum badum
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Bum be-dum, bum bum badum, bum be-dum, bum bum badum
Your whole life's in the hand of God
Tears at a funeral, tears at a funeral, I might break
Angry at all the things, angry at all the things I can't change
When you're lost in the universe, lost in the universe
Don't lose faith
My mother says, "Your whole life's in the hand of God"
Tears at a funeral, tears at a funeral, I might break
Just like the 80s films
We'll hook up in the back seat and let my best friend drive
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Overwhelming
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Overwhelming
Your whole life's in the hand of God
Bring me down in Brooklyn if I lose my life
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Push me down the Hudson and turn on the radio
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Long Island’s only smiling cause my soul is fine
Bum be-dum, bum bum badum, bum be-dum, bum bum badum
Nothing has changed, he is the same
Bum be-dum, bum bum badum
I did everything for New York
RATING
이 앨범에서 보여준 음악은 힙합, 팝, R&B를 자연스럽게 섞어 다양한 사운드를 만들어내는 그의 스타일을 보여주며 기존의 팝 음악과는 확연히 다른 신선함을 제공하며, 그 속에서 인간의 감정과 일상적인 고민들을 풀어내는 그의 서술 방식이 돋보입니다.
The Human Condition에서 가장 눈에 띄는 요소 중 하나는 존 벨리온의 뛰어난 프로덕션 능력입니다. 그는 단순한 보컬리스트가 아닌, 자신의 곡을 직접 프로듀싱하고 편곡하는 아티스트로서 다양한 악기와 전자음, 보컬 샘플을 사용하여 독창적인 사운드를 완성합니다. 이를 통해 그는 자신만의 음악적 정체성을 확립했고, 그 결과는 각 트랙에서 확연히 드러납니다.
특히 “All Time Low”는 그가 음악적으로 얼마나 혁신적인지 잘 보여주는 대표적인 트랙입니다. 이 곡은 심플한 멜로디와 반복적인 후렴구를 통해 중독성 있는 리듬을 만들어내며, 다양한 신디사이저와 전자음을 활용해 청각적으로 매력적인 분위기를 연출합니다. 이 곡은 라디오에서 큰 성공을 거뒀고, 그의 음악 스타일을 대중에게 확실하게 각인시켰습니다. 심플하면서도 중독성 있는 멜로디는 쉽게 따라 부를 수 있는 곡임에도 불구하고, 그 안에는 복잡한 감정선이 존재합니다.
벨리온은 앨범 전반에 걸쳐 감정의 다층성을 잘 표현하는데, 예를 들어 “80’s Films”에서는 향수를 불러일으키는 레트로 사운드를 사용하여 청중을 감정적으로 몰입하게 만듭니다. 이 곡은 80년대 영화에 대한 그의 사랑을 담았으며, 팝적인 요소와 신디사이저를 적절히 섞어 따뜻한 감성을 전달합니다. 레트로풍의 사운드는 일종의 트렌드였지만, 벨리온은 이를 자신의 색깔로 완벽하게 소화해냅니다.
존 벨리온의 The Human Condition은 제목에서 드러나듯이, 인간의 감정과 삶에 대한 깊은 통찰을 담고 있습니다. 이 앨범은 개인적 경험을 바탕으로 한 이야기와 감정을 솔직하게 표현하며, 사랑, 자아 성찰, 두려움과 같은 보편적인 주제를 다룹니다. 이처럼 진솔한 가사와 함께 다채로운 멜로디가 어우러져 청중에게 감정적인 연결을 제공합니다.
“Maybe IDK” 같은 곡은 삶의 불확실성에 대해 이야기합니다. 벨리온은 자신이 모든 것을 알 수 없다는 사실을 인정하며, 그럼에도 불구하고 앞으로 나아가는 방법을 찾아야 한다고 고백합니다. 이 곡은 철학적인 메시지와 동시에 그의 개인적 고민을 반영하는데, 이는 많은 이들이 공감할 수 있는 주제입니다. 사람들은 자신의 미래에 대해 불안함을 느끼고, 벨리온의 이러한 가사는 그런 감정들을 직접적으로 건드립니다.
또한 “Guillotine”은 사랑과 헌신에 대한 강렬한 감정을 노래합니다. 이 곡에서 벨리온은 사랑에 대해 자신을 완전히 내어줄 수 있는 힘을 찬양하면서도, 그 과정에서 느끼는 두려움과 고통을 표현합니다. 이 곡은 흥겨운 리듬과 함께 복잡한 감정선을 잘 담아내어, 사랑의 양면성을 상징적으로 보여줍니다. 벨리온은 이러한 모순적인 감정들을 표현하는 데 탁월하며, 청자들이 깊이 공감할 수 있도록 만들었습니다.
존 벨리온의 음악은 종종 매우 시각적인 느낌을 줍니다. 앨범 커버부터 각 트랙의 사운드까지, 그는 청중에게 영화적인 경험을 선사합니다. 그의 가사는 단순히 감정을 묘사하는 데 그치지 않고, 마치 한 편의 영화를 보는 듯한 상상력을 불러일으킵니다. “Morning in America”는 미국 사회의 현실을 반영하면서도, 그 속에서 느껴지는 복잡한 감정을 그려냅니다. 이 곡은 미국의 정치적, 사회적 문제들을 다루면서도 개인의 고민과 성찰을 통해 큰 공감대를 형성합니다. 벨리온은 사회적 이슈를 다루는 데 있어 진지한 메시지를 전달하면서도, 그의 트레이드마크인 중독성 있는 멜로디를 놓치지 않습니다.
또한, “Woke the F-ck Up”은 청각적으로나 감정적으로나 강렬한 곡입니다. 여기서 벨리온은 사랑에 대한 후회와 상실감을 깊이 있게 탐구하며, 그가 경험한 내면의 갈등을 음악적으로 표현합니다. 이 곡은 벨리온의 성숙한 음악적 접근 방식을 잘 보여주며, 그의 보컬과 프로덕션이 어떻게 감정을 전달하는 데 중요한 역할을 하는지를 강조합니다.
The Human Condition은 존 벨리온이 가진 음악적 재능을 완벽히 증명해낸 앨범입니다. 그는 다양한 장르를 혼합하여 자신만의 독창적인 음악 세계를 구축했으며, 그 안에서 인간의 감정을 솔직하고 예술적으로 풀어냅니다. 그의 음악은 복잡한 감정을 쉽고 중독성 있게 풀어내는 능력이 있으며, 이는 대중에게 큰 공감을 얻을 수 있는 중요한 요인입니다.
다만, 일부 곡에서는 가사의 반복이나 멜로디의 유사성이 느껴져 약간의 단조로움이 있을 수 있습니다. 이는 벨리온의 독특한 스타일을 유지하는 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 부분이지만, 청중에 따라 다소 지루하게 느껴질 수도 있습니다. 또한, 그의 감정적 서사가 지나치게 개인적인 경험에 치중하는 경향이 있어, 보편성을 약간 잃을 수 있다는 점도 아쉬운 부분이겠네요.
전 처음 듣고 이 사람 천재라는 느낌이 확 오더라고요. 정말 좋은 프로듀서이자 가수입니다.
