Title: The Human Condition
Artist: Jon Bellion
Release Date: June 10th, 2016
Label: Visionary
Jon Bellion’s album The Human Condition is a beautiful interpretation of what it means to be human. This album was released on June 10th in 2016 consisting of a combination of fourteen hip-hop/rap songs. It is his fourth studio album he’s released since he started music and I really like this album. When it first came out it was one of my favorite things to listen to, and I still listen to a few songs frequently.
Jon has been making music since 2011. He has helped write songs for Eminem, Jason Derulo, and MAX and has been featured on songs with Logic, Zedd, B.o.B, and a few others. Jon’s most popular song is “All Time Low” – which peeked at #16 on Billboard charts – is included on The Human Condition. One thing that is cool about his music is that a lot of his sounds and music are actually his own vocal tracks. He literally sings to the sound of his voice, which is why his sound/style is so unique.
This album includes “He is the Same”, “80’s films,” “All Time Low,” “New York Soul (Part ii),” “Fashion,” “Maybe IDK,” “Woke the F*ck Up,” “Overwhelming,” “Weight of the World,” “The Good in Me,” “Morning in America,” “iRobot,” “Guillotine,” and “Hand of God.” Each song, in its own way, shows what it is to be human – family, self-assurance, love, break-ups, uncertainty and faith. The album is unique and Jon really stepped up his game on this one.
Five out of fourteen of the songs are explicit, mainly for foul language. Some may not like the album considering foul language, and that his music is an acquired taste because of the sound. However, I really love The Human Condition. The beats, vocals, and the lyrics are all amazing and totally worth a listen. Its available on most platforms/apps, and if it’s not on your favorite, it’s on YouTube.
