You, I, Wind, Land, & Sea.


Justin Nozuka's long-awaited sophomore album, You I Wind Land and Sea, just released this past Tuesday. I like all of the songs on the album. I've heard a majority of his songs from this album, way before the tracklisting & his exclusive demos were released, from his live shows & online. His songwriting just keeps getting better & better. My favorite songs are "Carried You," which he wrote & first performed in his 2008 US tour, and "Woman Put Your Weapon Down." However, what I found kinda disappointing (& I know many JNoz fans are too) was that there is a lot of backup vocal accompaniment on a few of his tracks. Maybe this is because he didn't use it at all in his debut album & it doesn't really sound like a "Justin-like song". Overall, its a pretty good album. You could tell that Justin is progressing more in his music. I'd rate it a 3.5 out out 5. Check his album out.

1. Gray
