jeremih birthday sex

i've kinda tuned out the lyrics -- "break up/make up" is a big red flag at lazy couplets ahoy -- but the vocals and the melody, especially on the bridge, are so great. baby James and I have bopped along to that song many a time.

aww

^^how can anyone dislike the song now

i held off listening to the album for ages b/c "birthday sex" was so perfect, but in that fragile don't-know-if-i-want-any-more way - it's a lot better than i thought it would be, but i think i agree w/jordan about his voice - it doesn't bother me in small doses but so much reediness over 45 mins is a bit much.

i'm streaming this right now--i think i just really like the sonics of it enough to carry the parts where the songs or his voice aren't quite up to par? so i'm like on the cusp of purchasing it but with my self-imposed 2 records/week limit not totally sure if/when that'll happen.

i'm so glad i put this on my ballot, just listened again today and it just gets better

I was just listening to 'raindrops' on headphones and when the thunder sound happened I actually took my off my headphones and looked out the window

"imma star" is on constant rotation here on kauai right now and i'm totally hooked. that little vocal glissando on "ice" is genius.

"imma star" is so good to nod your head to

did i mention that starting all over is the classic deep cut

OTM, besides the singles which are all incredible the can't-live-without-em cuts are "starting all over," "my sunshine," and "buh bye"

i shall always be inordinately fond of this album, the one thing that felt like it really came right out of nowhere to steal my heart in 2009.

and the kid had good videos too.

... yeah it's okay, i could get used to it?

pretty good!

doooope

Agree re the Jeremiah album, endlessly pleasurable to listen to.

haha that reminds me whenever i search for one of his videos on youtube it always autocorrects to 'jeremiah'

I have a Google Autocorrect in my brain it seems.

i dunno it's weird, i never really thought we'd ever hear from this guy again for some reason...?

<3 HURRAH THOUGH

inevitable procession of the luda verse makes this track seem more slight and generic than it really is, needed to assert itself a tad longer before and maybe even during. still v v v good though - schulz is a beast, like who else other than these guys would bother chipmunking the chorus so very lightly like at 3mins

hey what a good song

mad sexy

man this is good

and yeah the schulz production is great, he really owns this sound

I like, but could do without the Luda verse really (though on first listen that could just be knee-jerk thanks to Bieber)

yeah luda's unnecessary but doesn't really take away from it for me - def hope the next album is light on guests

first album is a classic to me now

who is schulz?

Mick Shultz, guy who produces all of Jeremih's stuff and amazingly hasn't been snapped up to work w/ anybody else major yet afaik

good song!

the luda verse is really dope

song is great too

his music is like bubbles

girlsay
ooh hoo, ooh hoo
i liiiiiike... *

it is actually spelt schulz btw in case it looks like i'm getting corrected on the low up there

corrected on the dl

damn i forgot all about that bertell song as well - holds up niiiice imo

whenever i read this thread title i think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvqXHk8PxiQ

i fucked up when i said "Shultz" but it actually is Schultz

lolz, both wrong

truly a black day for rechtschreibung

what u make of the song ships?

i listened to it once but almost nothing really sticks with me after one listen, should come back to it tomorrow when the baby's not asleep.

this is cool but its success just further bums me out that the dope Keri song "I Like" that was a hit in a bunch of random other countries will never get a proper U.S. release

oh is this charting?

not yet, i'm just thinking it probably will

that keri 'i like' has really grown on me lately - props 2 ships.

sad that i have to remind myself the jeremih one exists, still captivates whenever i press play though.

haha this kid is like my one oasis of musical innocence in a cold world - i actually do worry about him :/

did that song even get released as an official single

I was disappointed they didn't give "Break Up to Make Up" a singles push. That one sounded like a hit to me.

It wasn't high art, but that self-titled Jeremih album was really an oddity: A major-label R&B album written and produced entirely by a singer and his producer. That was really refreshing. Judging by the Ludacris feature on the first single from his next album, though, I'm guessing the new one will be more of the typical by-committee R&B album.

this album is really good yeah, was gonna revive this thread last night as found myself digging it out again. even the really bare "songs" are really great.
