With a daunting list of accomplishments at only 21 years of age and an amazing voice to back it up, J-Sol looks poised and ready to find his share of stardom in the pop music scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new single &#8216;No Make Up&#8217; has a distinct R&amp;B flavour that works perfectly for the extremely talented vocal performance of J-Sol with a well arranged song that puts everything into place. The song features a great laid back beat accompanied by simplistic instrumentation that is blanketed by J-Sol&#8217;s vocals, which carry the dynamics, as the instrumentation makes subtle changes to compliment them and a hip-hop vocal breakdown by Geko to shake things up a bit toward the end. \u00a0The song definitely is fit for any romantic occasion and gives off the classic R&amp;B vibe of love, romance, and cuddling that works so well with his style of singing.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/unnamed2.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"12282\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2015\/07\/j-sol-no-make-up\/unnamed-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/unnamed2.jpg?fit=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"400,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"unnamed\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/unnamed2.jpg?fit=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" size-full wp-image-12282 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/unnamed2.jpg?resize=400%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"unnamed\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>J-Sol already has a huge list of accomplishments at such a young age from vocally supporting artists such as Boyz II Men, Wretch 32, Bobby Valentino, Chipmunk and Misha B; to choreographing &amp;\u00a0dancing\u00a0in-front of audiences of thousands for superstars like Kanye West, D\u2019banj and Cover Drive. \u00a0In\u00a0 2014, the success of his R&amp;B\/Pop track \u2018Keep It On The Low\u2019 (featuring US R&amp;B starlet Dondria Nicole &amp; one of the UK\u2019s most on demand rappers Sneakbo) led to plays on stations such as BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1, Capital XTRA, BANG FM, REPREZENT RADIO, Rinse FM, Kiss 100 &amp; many more.
