“0:22 the addition of the saxophone just takes this song from Cool to Cool 2.0”
“The point of indifference is a particularly heartbreaking stage in any relationship, but Justy delivers a meditation on this very topic over an easy-going LoFi beat with smooth rhythmic guitar riffs as well as a lone saxophone. There is an intensity in her lack of intensity, a drama in her avoidance of drama…it’s the beautiful complexity in a song the Tonemamas are all about.”-Tonemill

“It’s “Cool” Now You Know About Justy”
“
Born and raised in New York emerging artist Justy pulls inspiration from the likes of Amy Whinehouse, NoName and Anderson Paak. Her music fuses traditional jazz elements with modern lo-fi beats, and her transparent and raw lyricism showcases her writing skills. Justy’s voice is a perfect blend of soft, whispery and raspy, light and airy but full and slow-moving like smooth honey, sure to raise the goosebumps on your arms.

-CASS MCLAUGHLIN (Glasse Factory)
“
With unassuming confidence, Brooklyn-born Staten Island-raised R&B artist Justy advocates for self-acceptance on the smooth jazz-hop single "Cool." While the production channels golden age hip-hop, Justy's vocals waft smoothly over the beat as she quips, "Money in the air, money in the air / I don't really care, I don't fucking care." She has this way of sounding both laid-back and indulgent in herself with these nonchalant lyrics.”
-Ysabella Monton (The WildhoneyPie)
“The Brooklyn-born, Staten Island-raised Justy pours out vibes and blends genres like delicious tropical drinks. On "Cool" her follow up to her recent "Expectations" release, and part of an upcoming album due our next year, she celebrates and laments the foibles of love and love lost, "touch me like I might matt'er".”
-Robb Donker Curtius (American Pancake)

“Justy just has.. it. The style, the confidence, and most importantly, the sound.”
“ Justy's lush delight "Expectations" is the perfect blend of evening jazz club vibes with a contemporary r&b feel. And because the Brooklyn-born singer and songwriter isn't awesome enough - she adds some dope razor smooth bars.

“Soul Food is a beautifully, relatable project about growing – and all the rough and wonderful moments that come with it. Moments that are filled with love and care intermingle with moments of self-doubt and uncertainty. It’s not a project that romanticizes the process of growth; it’s not a project that presents a neat and tidy version of progress.”- Tamar Ballard, Thursdayemail.com

“ ‘Love Letter, Pt.3’ (feat. Huas) is very much of the same variety and encapsulates all that Justy has to offer in three minutes. It is a slick, smooth and super soulful marrying of lush hazy tones with seductive grooves.” - Barry Gruff
