jeremih birthday sex

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

'waiter (the 5 senses)' is pretty incredible

like whoa

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.

"Sex Intelligent (Ambient Mix)"

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

i have to listen to this again

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

schulz man...the outro to "i like"

luda gtfo

"broken down" is like, hey ceelo this is how you do retro with some panache without being so damn obvious about it

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.

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.

nicely put, love that song

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

^mte

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

this is a really nice album -- trey & ne-yo take Ls imo

"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

"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

i love how he affects a real deep almost dancehall voice on "down on me"

"down on me" -> "waiter/5 senses" is a pretty much perfect stretch of r&b

"take off" sounds like jesse mccartney to me, in a good way

yeah this is my favorite

"wanna get up" d-_-b

ship have you checked this yet?

i was wondering that too

wasnt on october rundown

new album deserves new thread
Jeremih - All About You (the second album)

eh i dunno, there are like 5 people who post to this one

http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/cairo/114/critic.gif

more or less see this album as sorta like the awkward self-conscious teenage growing pained older brother to the exuberant little bubbleworld of the first. (by that i'm not saying the earlier record wasn't derivative, just that it was derivative in its own way; it's the difference between 'birthday sex' and 'sleepers', the stronger suggestion of jeremih speaking through other ppl's voices and seeing the stuff he does through other ppl's eyes.)

like i mentioned on the rolling thread though i'm not really into being overly critical of this album cos even on its least successful cuts i still think there's always something earcatching to enjoy, either on the production or vocal side, and yeah basically i remain fully supportive of these talented & (especially so in a barren r&b year like this) unusual dudes.

by the by a couple of cuts on this (mainly the two after '5 senses', but in small doses elsewhere too) totally make me think jeremih should probably have a career on stage or in glee or something.

agree the new thread is unnecessary btw, if it wasn't already clear.

i think this compares pretty badly to the first album, actually - seems a lot of the arrangements are stripped further back, which makes jeremih's reedy voice stick out a lot more - it gets kinda one-note over the course of an album. and there aren't any standouts on the same level as "birthday sex"/"imma star"/"raindrops".

anyone heard this? nothing special or anything but a link for completist stans

sorta bummes at the lack of talk about his new one, which i thought was prety strong actually. he's someone for whom i'd check all his new shit

good song!

"All About You" is such a good album. The production is great and Jeremih himself seems to have a really likeable personality - romantic, sweet and sexual without seeming too sleazy or overly macho.

I had no idea his name was pronounced the way it is

it's with a long "I", right? he says it in a few of his songs and on his twitter he writes "my" as "mih"

i'm guessing most of you slept on this album

i definitely did, but there never seemed to be as much excitement around it as the first, just hard to get motivated. also not crazy about "down on me" but its success at least means there'll probably be a 3rd album.

think it's Jer-MI with a long I

long i definitely but all three syllables pronounced imo

'holding on' is the unsung hero of this album (which is so so good btw)

the way he sings "for all we know / this rocky road / would just be the transition to unstoppable" is orgasmic. p.s. i am 99% sure i got those lyrics wrong

i always end up pronouncing it jeremiah

that's pretty much what it is minus the 'uh' at the end

yeah ships "down on me" is prob the worst song on the album, glad he got a hit at least tho he deserves it

"down on me" is awesome

this song is in a dope scene from putty hill
