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
― some dude, Thursday, 10 June 2010 13:12 (fourteen years ago) link
oh is this charting?
― fman29.5 (k3vin k.), Thursday, 10 June 2010 14:57 (fourteen years ago) link
not yet, i'm just thinking it probably will
― some dude, Thursday, 10 June 2010 15:09 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

― r|t|c, Thursday, 5 August 2010 11:49 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

oh no doubt, it's just a really solid play front to back, and jeremih is very clearly talented. lots of standouts and i agree "break up to make up" should have been huge; it's grown to be my favorite

didn't even know it was out... kinda remarkable how little i check for us music these days really
just pressed play

shit i had no idea he had an album out!! where is the buzz

he's been harsh there imo but i need to think about it some more

one play through and not much is sticking but then again first one took a few listens. shultz brought it on a few tracks tho
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 5 October 2010 04:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Damn, I have been avoiding this thread for so long, but I had figured that jeremih birthday sex was some indie band.
― kkvgz, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 09:23 (thirteen years ago) link
nothing relaly jumped out at me on first listen - no 'make up to break up' or 'birthday sex'. feels more like a long, really well produced EP than an album. kind of reminds me of lloyd's like me the young goldie in terms of just being a solid collection of songs where the production really suits the singer and vice versa.
wanted to turn it off when the 50 track came on though

the fact that terius inspires such great knock-offs kind of cements his awesomeness imo

The second half of that is O_O.
Terius should totally steal that trick from Jeremih.

wow what just happened? "waiter" was just kinda decent for me but "the 5 senses" is stunningly beautiful

alright loving this now, what was i listening to the first time i heard "take off" "waiter" and "love don't change"?
actually i remember digging the "take off" beat

"broken down" is like, hey ceelo this is how you do retro with some panache without being so damn obvious about it
― wakafledia (k3vin k.), Sunday, 31 October 2010 19:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Album is GREAT. I agree with "like me" similarities in that he's going with what suits him the best throughout, gorgeous melodies, no stupid tricks that ruin the flow.
― abcfsk, Wednesday, 3 November 2010 00:17 (thirteen years ago) link
god 'my sunshine' is just the most devastating song. you'd think his youthfulness would work against him on a song of such import, but actually it's what makes it: you just wouldn't want to ever wish this level of heartbreak on someone so young.

the new album is very good btw! R&b cru sleeping on this one

gotta really listen to this a bit and get into it; initial impression is that it's spectacular

"dawn on me" should be a hit, damn
i lol'd at "let's take 9 shots/ just call it 50"
i guess that would be "down on money" - more classic tagging
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Monday, 15 November 2010 08:57 (thirteen years ago) link
"take off" sounds like jesse mccartney to me, in a good way

"holding on" is really the only one i'm not fucking w/ cuz it's mad tedder
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Monday, 15 November 2010 09:15 (thirteen years ago) link
i love how he affects a real deep almost dancehall voice on "down on me"
― thomas smangalter (J0rdan S.), Monday, 15 November 2010 09:21 (thirteen years ago) link
"down on me" -> "waiter/5 senses" is a pretty much perfect stretch of r&b
