JS stands for the Johnson Sisters, Kim and Kandy, two young and harmonious R&B vocalists learned in the art of couching subtly (and often not-so-subtly) suggestive bits of innuendo in the sweetest, lightest, most innocent beats. Though young, the two sisters have been singing together since childhood and have a bit of a history in the music biz, doing session work for many artists, including Christina Aguilera before being discovered by soul legend Ronald Isley.
Considering the subject and the tenor of the lyrics, it's not overly surprising that controversial, if undeniably talented, R. Kelly has his hands all over JS's debut ICE CREAM, writing and producing the majority of the tracks, including the title track and debut single. Dripping in soulful sensuality, but sweet as confectioner's sugar, "Ice Cream" spills double-entendre after double entendre over a nursery rhyme backbeat. The sisters go even further on the R. Kelly-esque "Slow Grind;" the title pretty much sums up the fetching jam. "Love Angel" and "Someone" show the duo capable of simple love songs as well. Overall, JS provides an alluringly physical debut in the vein of TLC on ICE CREAM.
