"Jus 1 Kiss" is a song by English electronic dance music duo Basement Jaxx. It was released on 24 September 2001 by record label XL as the second single from their second studio album, Rooty (2001). It reached number 23 on the UK Singles Chart, number one on the UK Dance Chart, and was a minor hit in Australia and the Flanders region of Belgium.

Reception

[edit]

The Guardian wrote that "Jus 1 Kiss" is "intoxicating in its hands-in-the-air simplicity," while The Irish Times claimed that it demonstrates Basement Jaxx's "growing confidence."[2][3] John Bush for AllMusic and Ed Potton for The Times described it as "filtered disco" and "breezy...and soaring", respectively, each complimenting the song as contributing to Rooty overall.[4][5] In a retrospective for Rooty, DJ Mag referred to it as a "timeless pop single."[6] On the other hand, a Spin review compared it negatively to Wings and called it "unsatisfying," while a Sunday Times review wrote that it was uninteresting.[7][8]
