The forthcoming release of ‘abandoned love.’ will mark JAY B’s sophomore mini-album as Def. thus far, after he released his debut record ‘Love.’ earlier this year in January. That record featured six tracks and featured title track ‘Sunset With You’.

South Korean rapper Leon was featured on opener ‘Again’ and Korean-Canadian musician Junny on ‘Like A Fool’. JAY B, referred to as Def., was credited as a writer and producer on every song on ‘Love.’

The announcement of ‘abandoned love.”s impending release comes off the back of ‘Be Yourself’, the second mini-album released as part of his main music pursuits as JAY B. That EP featured lead single ‘go UP’ and five other B-sides, one of which is the Sik-K-assisted ‘Break It Down’.

JAY B debuted as a soloist last year with ‘SOMO:FUME’. In a three-star review of last August’s ‘SOMO:FUME’, NME’s Sofiana Ramli wrote: “After being relieved from JYP Entertainment’s shackles to pursue creative freedom, you would expect the singer to use the opportunity of having a plethora of new producers and collaborators at his feet to experiment greatly, but the end result is neutral and safe.”
