Lyric

Message for Your Mind

JUU4E

Music vibrates your auditory nerve When music plays in town, shopping baskets tremble

When equality burns to ashes Truth disappears

People are born and grow old There’s no escaping that In the end it’s just the date which is different

Whoever said you were special? In any case, you have to understand that everyone is different

Young people Have you ever done this?

Young people Have you ever done this?

Young people Have you ever done this?

Young people Have you ever done this?

The time has come for a change of era Equality is not a question of age

The beautiful, shiny society which held up bright slogans But underneath were disturbing problems

Why are we kept down until we lose our will?

Don’t separate the stems and seeds before grinding them to powder

The people of the new generation are like fresh vegetables

Stop this rotten system that stinks like farts

Male students on the founder’s day of their technical high school are like politicians arguing at a meeting

Why do you deliberately stir up fights between the people in the farming villages? When will this country develop?

So many secrets and lies Politicians scam us and talk meaningless nonsense

The new generation are like steel waiting to be worked

They don’t just get drunk and sleep

They just don’t have an opportunity to achieve

A strong wind blows at the peak of Phu Kradueng mountain It’s like a source of power

The children want to study, but they don’t have opportunities, so they sell tao-thong to survive

A person’s value is shaped by what they’ve experienced

We don’t want to be confused anymore We are the new generation

It’s time to end this mafia era We’ve had enough

Young people Have you ever done this?

Young people Have you ever done this?

Young people Have you ever done this?

Young people Have you ever done this?

We want to move forward

We want to move forward

We want to move forward

We want to move forward

Rising out of the bong haze, Thai master JUU4E is back with his second solo album for EM Records. Fusing hip hop and trap with a pan-Asian blend of influences and samples from the traditional and pop musics of his native country, as well as the musics of Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan and other regions across the continent, "Crazy World" is an ambitious and sonically adventurous album alive with unexpected juxtapositions, deft production, irresistible grooves and a joyous heart. A true solo album, all the tracks here are performed/arranged/produced by JUU4E, with the final mix provided by Young-G of stillichimiya/OMK. With a versatile and playful vocal style, JUU4E delivers thoughtful, positive lyrics and intriguing imagery, dealing with issues both local and global, old and new, with themes of celebration as well as social criticism. Featuring a cover of a Taiwan pop classic by Teresa Teng, "Crazy World" is available on CD/LP/DL, and comes with informative liner notes and English translations of the lyrics. Cover art: Shinsuke Takagi (Soi48/OMK)

Artist Profile

  • JUU4E

    Never colonized, Thailand has remained purely itself across the years even while developing, evolving and selectively adopting international influences; the same can be said of Thai popular music, and can be clearly heard in previous releases of Thai music on EM Records. Perhaps the exception to this instinct of "pattana" (Thai for development or evolution) has been the luk thung genre, which, despite great forward leaps in the 1960s and 1970s, has been stagnant since the 1990s. New Luk Thung is here, however, as JUU4E and his friends update the luk thung genre with keyboards, drum machines, and samples from luk thung classics. Contemporary hip hop and trap are fused with luk thung and ramwong elements, as well as the traditional Isan/Lao instruments khaen and phin. Ex-biker JUU4E has been musically active since the 1990s as a respected rapper, musician and producer, relocating from Bangkok to the musically rich Isan region. His lyrics, in Thai, English, Khmer and Japanese, deal predominantly, humorously and punningly with ganja.
