There will be no summer barbeques or afternoons at the beach for Jun’s Psycho. This song spends its time in a windowless room, chains and restraints attached to the walls. Summer fare this is not.
Jun has recorded solo material before, most recently with last year’s Limbo. Psycho follows a similar vibe, though it’s more combative and… well… weirder. And at just over two minutes, I wish there was more of it. The song feels inextricable from its performance, which is likely the point given Jun’s skills as a dancer. Its rugged textures remind me of 2017’s Lilili Yabbay. It’s immaculately produced, with a variety of competing percussive elements and atmospheric flourishes.
In addition to wishing the track was longer, I wish Psycho felt more fleshed out. Its hook is quite empty, relying on descending synth and dramatic, pulsing bass to compel interest. It works as a passing curiosity, but the song never blooms into a sonic world worth getting lost in.

Jun’s solo material has really surprised me. It’s definitely not the sound I would have expected him to gravitate toward but I’m into it and it suits him!

It’s everything I expected it to be but somehow I’m underwhelmed. I like this song slightly less than ‘Limbo’ from last year.
I’d give it a 7.75/10

i liked both limbo and psycho, liked limbo a little bit more tho, but still i feel with these both tracks i feel like there’s smth missing, like there’s a space to fill in both song for them to fully liberate it’s power
i would give it a plain 7

Oh wow, this is interesting.
And then it ends right before it should transition to something else, perhaps on the album the next song immediately follows does that, perhaps, but I was hoping for a FF “Take Me Out” moment right here right now.
(Though definitely does not fit a 4th July holiday weekend vibe, I mean the soundtrack drifting across the lake we are staying on is old John Cougar Mellencamp followed curiously by Despacito, ain’t that America you and me.)

I actually liked this quite a bit more than Limbo (I forgot what Limbo sounded like so I had to re-listen lol), probably because it feels more like a gay club banger than the latter. The fact the song’s in Mandarin also gets some bias points from me. The under-3-minutes length is criminal though
