This place has a long history, good people go about their business
We the youth of Thonburi inherit that tradition
This place has a long history, good people go about their business
We the youth of Thonburi inherit that tradition
Thonburi, Thonburi side
There are lots of interesting little streets along the Phra Phutthayodfa Bridge and Chao Phraya River
I wish you could see the old temples with your own eyes You can’t explain them in words
Not far from Wongwian Lek is Wongwian Yai
The statue of King Taksin, worshipped with prayers for prosperity
May we be safe in whatever we do, may others benefit
In Thonburi there is good and bad All mixed together
Everyone knows that day will come These are lessons that come around with time
The new generation of Thonburi are acquiring knowledge
But they never forget to pay respect to the elderly. We are young. We do things with our heart
Thonburi, Thonburi side
This place has a long history, good people go about their business
We the youth of Thonburi inherit that tradition
This place has a long history, good people go about their business
We the youth of Thonburi inherit that tradition

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.
