Laid-back and funky with an addictive melodic charm, “Genie 17” is a new single from Jon GK, a Los Angeles-based artist. Starting with an understated feeling of soulful funk, with sporadic bass pulses, the two-minute mark finds vocals lifting with vibrancy amidst a bouncy push in the instrumentation. The bass-heavy “thank you!” bridge a minute later shows an especially catchy feel, with enjoyment from chilled-out key adornments alongside a bustling bass line. “Genie 17” is a thorough success from Jon GK, who describes the premise as “If a genie could grant you one wish, what would you choose?”
“Genie 17” features guitar and flute by Yoni Arbel, and artwork by Allen Love.
