Jake Exavier – Just What U Like (2025)
Jake Exavier returns with ‘Just What U Like’, a track that not only reaffirms his place in today’s evolving RnB scene but also elevates his artistry with charm, polish, and emotional resonance.
From the opening seconds, there’s an undeniable mood. The production, crafted by Rochad Holiday and recorded by Curtis “Sauce” Wilson (both members of the legendary ‘90s group Somethin’ for the People), is buttery smooth. It calls back to the golden age of RnB without feeling stuck in the past. Instead, it brings that same sense of romance and sincerity into a modern context. Warm synths, a steady groove, and tasteful vocal layering all come together to create an atmosphere that feels intimate and confident.
Exavier’s vocals glide across the beat with ease. He doesn’t overdo it, and that’s exactly why it works. His delivery is measured, sincere, and effortlessly cool. There’s a maturity in how he phrases his lines and builds his presence in the song. The hook, “Got what you want and just what you need”, lands like a soft promise. It’s both romantic and grounded, a subtle but effective reminder that confidence doesn’t always need to be loud.
The storytelling is a direct and heartfelt message to a romantic interest. There’s no smoke and mirrors, just someone laying their feelings on the table in a way that’s self-assured but never pushy. It’s refreshingly adult in its approach to connection: honest, respectful, and rooted in the idea that sometimes the right person is already right in front of you. That kind of emotional clarity is rare, especially in today’s RnB landscape, where bravado often overshadows vulnerability.
One of the most impressive aspects of the track is how it bridges two musical eras so seamlessly. You can hear the influence of artists like Usher and Chris Brown, but Exavier never feels like he’s imitating anyone. Instead, he’s building something that’s his own. There’s a clarity in his artistic voice that makes it easy to imagine a full body of work built around this level of quality and intention. With this single, Jake Exavier values his lyrics, sonics, and displays genuine emotion over trend-chasing or flash. He’s staying true to who he is as an artist.
