Just as Juice WRLD’s Legends lyrics ‘What’s the 27 Club? We ain’t making it past 21‘ feel extremely eerie and hit extremely hard since his untimely passing at the age of 21, the lyrical content of Righteous also makes for an extremely tough listen in this first posthumous single release.
Whilst it’s an emotional listen though and some of the lyrics genuinely hurt to hear with its telling tale of anxiety and self-medication; it’s a bittersweet experience and the track itself is genuinely exceptional. It’s dark, it’s dreamlike, it’s melancholic, and it’s also incredibly infectious.
Juice WRLD’s vocals cut through the sound superbly, sitting very sweetly atop of the tracks sombre trap instrumental. The production is excellent, musically this single has a huge amount to offer, and even though the artist is sadly now gone; it’s great to have his memory live on here through his music and to hear a posthumous single release of such high quality.
Despite his young age, Juice WRLD had a remarkable impact upon the music world, with his music reaching out and touching the hearts of many. Juice WRLD will forever be sorely missed, but we’ll always have his music.
