J Hus is back with a new double release, 'Clean Run' and 'Moonlight'. These songs mark the beginning of something new for the artist, expanding the distinguishable sound which has defined his career so far.

'Moonlight', co-produced by Grammy Winner P2J and Cole YoursTruly, leans into a more expansive sound. It is warmer, richer and undeniably catchy. There is something fresh about the rhythm, drawn from plenty of musical influences which blend together to create something truly modern.

'Clean Run' is one of the most lyrically powerful songs in his repertoire. An infectious blend of UK rap and Afrobeat, his much loved sonic identity shines through in this beat. Produced by JAE5, the rap-led song is dramatic and direct. The perfect track to blast with the windows down.

Together, the two songs showcase the range of Hus' musical ability.

The new songs are immersive from the first listen, creating a listening experience that feels almost euphoric.

The rhythm feels built for large crowds, an urge to dance, bounce, move.

J Hus, during his time away from music, has been splitting his time between the UK and the Middle East. His teasing of new music on social media received mass attention, and it is clear why.

These new music drops follow a landmark period for the artist. He has refined musical collaboration, now he stands on his own two feet. 'Clean Run' and 'Moonlight' have a unique sense of freedom, a record driven by instinct and breaking boundaries. J Hus has always been identifiable, and these new releases redefine the originality that set him apart.
