If you’ve been waiting for that effortless late-night groove to drop into your rotation, FKJ has you covered. The French multi-instrumentalist just teamed up with powerhouse vocalist Eryn Allen Kane for a swaggering retro-soul cut called “I Want U,” and it’s an absolute earworm.

Instead of over-polishing things, the track leans hard into a loose, spontaneous chemistry. FKJ and Kane reportedly threw the core hook together on the spot, giving the song a raw, magnetic pull that matches its head-over-heels theme.

What Makes “I Want U” Work

• The Vibe: It carries a distinct, Prince-inspired flavor packed with warm analog synths, fluid basslines, and intricate guitar work that breathes naturally.

• The Vocals: Eryn Allen Kane brings serious warmth and emotional depth, letting her honeyed runs float right over FKJ’s multi-layered production without breaking a sweat.

• The Balance: It manages to feel deeply sensual while keeping things playful, bridging the gap between underground neo-soul and smooth alternative pop.

Where It Lands

The single arrives alongside fresh cuts like “How Much Does It Take To Shift It All” and “Changes Rising”, showcasing an artist who refuses to stay boxed into one genre. While older tracks leaned heavily into purely ambient or chillout territory, “I Want U” hits with a punchier, groove-heavy edge that feels tailor-made for high-end headphones or a midnight drive.
