R&B newcomer Byron Juane is shooting straight from the hip on his new song “Take It Personal,” which he co-wrote and co-produced.
Juane sings to his inappreciative lover above a sparse guitar, addressing why their relationship had frayed.
He opens, “I never said you had to be perfect / I said I wanted trust / Always gave you my all / As long as you knew what it was.”
“Take It Personal” concludes a year of releases from Juane. Throughout the year, Juane has shared tracks like “Needs & Wants” and “Bands On You,” as well as collaborated on other songs such as “It’s Okay” with Derek Minor, Susan Carol, and Greg James, and “Savage” with Is This Cam?
In 2022, Juane released the project A Little Crazy after completing a tour with Kenyon Dixon. The project comprises eight tracks and features a guest appearance from Xavier Omär.
“This album marks a huge time stamp in my life,” stated Juane. “So many things changed when this album was made. I moved out of the house for the first time. I gained new friends, but I also lost some. l experienced love in every capacity.”
He added, “I started to truly find myself as a person. And that person is not perfect…he is, in fact, a mess. But he is honest, and that is just what this project portrays. This is a start of a new era and THIS is when everything changes.”
Later in the year, Juane reissued A Little Crazy with acoustic versions of some of the tracks, including the lead single “Crazy.”
He also toured as a supporting act on NBDY’s Emotionally Unavailable Tour.
