j.paul’s “Clementines” is a sun-drenched slice of lo-fi surf rock that perfectly captures the fleeting magic of a summer romance. The track’s jangly guitars and laid-back rhythms create a sonic landscape that’s equal parts nostalgic and refreshingly current, evoking comparisons to Dayglow’s breezy melodies and The Strokes’ garage rock sensibilities. Justin Genzo’s vocals, slightly hazy and effortlessly cool, float atop the instrumentation like a warm breeze, inviting listeners into the intimate moment he’s describing.
Lyrically, “Clementines” paints a vivid picture of a chance encounter in a crowded bar, with lines like “I saw you in a crowded room / Honey I can tell you feel it too” capturing the electric anticipation of new attraction. The repeated refrain of “Sweet like clementines / Something feels so damn right” serves as both a clever simile and a catchy hook, encapsulating the song’s overall mood of carefree optimism. As the lead single from j.paul’s upcoming EP, “Clementines” sets a promising tone, suggesting a collection of tracks that will blend lo-fi aesthetics with pop sensibilities to create the perfect soundtrack for lazy park hangs and impromptu summer adventures.
j.paul’s debut EP, Clementines, was released on December 13th 2025, via No Stress Records, a sublabel of Nice Guys Records.
