Venus & Mars (Jett Rebel album)
Venus & Mars is the third studio album by Dutch multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Jett Rebel. It was released on October 31, 2014, through his own record label JJ Music V. The album is a double album, consisting of two distinct parts: "Venus" and "Mars."
"Venus" primarily features pop and soul-influenced songs, showcasing Rebel's softer and more melodic side. The songs on "Venus" often explore themes of love and beauty.
"Mars" takes a more rock-oriented approach, with heavier instrumentation and experimental sounds. It delves into themes such as war, death, and destruction, contrasting sharply with the lighter tone of "Venus."
Jett Rebel wrote, performed, and produced the entire album himself, playing all instruments on the recordings. The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising Rebel's musical versatility and ambition. Some critics noted the unevenness between the two halves, with "Mars" occasionally being perceived as less cohesive than "Venus." Despite this, Venus & Mars is considered a significant work in Jett Rebel's discography, demonstrating his wide range of musical influences and his dedication to crafting a unique sound.
