Durning the Love and Hip-Hop, LA Reunion show K. Michelle spoke about trying her hand at Country music and the track entitled ” Just Like Jay,” featured in her fifth studio album ‘All Monsters Are Human’ doesn’t disappoint. Accompanied by a visual, this single is tonally reminiscent of Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road,” this single is definitely a hit. Speaking about personal topics with lyrics like, ”I walked away from Atlantic because they wanted me to be Mary J, and the whole time I was thinking who the hell gone be K” or “Crucified for my mistakes, make me wanna walk away. Maybe I should walk away, fade to black just like Jay, ooh ‘Cause y’all don’t love me anyway, so I’ll fade to black just like Jay,” a direct reference to the iconic Jay-Z’s “Fade To Black” documentary and his The Black Album. K. Michelle put her heart and soul into this song and if that any indication this album will be one to be on the lookout for.
