jeremih birthday sex

stupid but i kinda like it. esp when westwood plays/intros it. i think he sold it to me (as a stupid but likeable POS). my favourite part is when he goes 'AhAAAhhAAAAHHHAAAAHAAAAHAHAA'.

great album.

is it just the one Mick Shultz cat producing every track?

it is, yeah.

I wouldn't call it a "great" album, it's very samey...

I'd like to hear the whole album.

i like 'imma star'

love imma star

even if we only go to my-y-y house

is the album out or leaked or what is the deal?

man i really think that song is boring as hell - i was being a bit fatalistic on the r&b thread/jukebox but i do think it's a really below average song - don't see how the production is really at all noteworthy

words can't express how much I hate this kid

okay I take that back somewhat, the second half of "I'mma Star" is pretty great

"Birthday Sex" is just stupid, though, and not nearly as fun as it should be

I-I-I-I-I-I hope that th-th-th-th-th-this becomes the new au-au-au-au-au-autotune

uh oh

That Brooke Hogan version is a trainwreck from which I cannot look away. She changes Moet to Southern fucking Comfort.

PUSSY RESERVATIONS

why is this not already someone's display name?

sip mo, weezy

cool showy synth textures, rhythm constantly shifting between triplets and straight 4/4, a big dramatic outro that sounds completely different from the rest of the song -- ymmv, but it has a lot going for it that is 'noteworthy' in the context of the stuff it's being played between on R&B radio.

birthday sex riddim is upon us.

lol I had no idea either

ships is otm about "I'mma Star" btw, the more I here it, the more I like it

at what point does a beat become a riddim? when jamaican dudes rap on it?

pretty much

Fell under the spell of "Imma Star" and grabbed the album. I agree that a lot of it is really samey, but I'm loving "My Sunshine" right now. "Runway" is pretty awes too.

who is the 'k. james' credited on bday sex and imma star?

"Imma Star" is fabulous, the album is pretty good on first listen. Consistently lovely-sounding.

raindrops is fucking amazing....like unbelievably good. buh bye is pretty great too.

J0rdan OTM, "Imma Star" is so so boring. Y'all are fucking insane!

I like "My Time," though!

the last minute or so of "imma star" is really good, it's basically mid-level dream but that's cool w/ me. ship, when you're lauding its "outro" are you talking about that or the strings @ the end?

the rest of the song is bland as fuck, tho

You know the really awesome thing about "Birthday Sex" that no one ever talks about is those Aretha "aahhhhr-OOTS!" that pop up during the bridge. Somehow all the retro-soulers have left it to a teenager to bring back that one.

the bridge is great - the drum rolls coming up to the "aahhhr-OOTS!" part are awz too

yeah the last minute of the song is what i mean by outro

DON'T NEED ROGER EBERT OR THE PAPARAZZI
TAKE MORE THAN A RED OCTAGON TO STOP ME

Is this "up-tempo" mix of "Birthday Sex" at the end of the album the shitty technoid version yall were complaining about? It is kinda :'(

Album isn't as bad as yall are making out. Not on a Dream/E Red level, but I like it on a Ciara/Foxx level.

most of the posts about the album seemed pretty positive to me?

I dunno, seemed most ppl were pretty indifferent.

def bonus points for working roger ebert into contemporary hip hop track

just checking if anyone's on my level with this album yet?

ain't heard it yet -- any non-singles in particular that might convince me i need to?

is that including 'break up to make up'? i dunno man, if you havent triangulated something you might wanna check out outta the three so far i'm not sure anything's gonna sway you any further -- feel like i'm spoiling it now but ok how about:

also did you see the 'imma star' video??

oh wait lol is this the thread where the guy who splashed out on the new fabolous cd is wary of making a hasty purchase

yah I love "Imma Star" and the video, but didn't really dig "Birthday Sex" or hear anything else off it. "Starting All Over" sounds good.

ha xpost

damn "Break Up" is catchy as fuck

basically i like all the songs on the album - i can see how people might hear it as generic, or (staaaans) terius-jocking, or repetitive, but i guess what it comes down to is i like the kid jeremih a lot (andy k compares him to saadiq in his amg review - otm!!) and you really get the feeling this is exactly what he and the schulz guy always wanted to make; there's real charm and talent in the attention to detail they've put in to what is pretty much the most 2009 record you will ever hear that even when it's on something i wouldnt normally be mad for like the gaga-goth europop on 'runway' it still draws me into their shit cos it's somehow just theirs and theirs alone, i dunno.

nearly embarked on a schulz - peanuts folly there BUT I DIDNT

yeah listening to those last couple songs I heard a little bit of a certain high joyful tone I identify most w/ Saadiq and (dare I say it) Stevie Wonder -- always annoyed me when people referred to "Birthday Sex" as being somehow post-Dream when if anything it's just yet another guy with a high voice who's similarly post-R.

this the right place to talk about MihTy? i'm really into it, it feels v hermetic and, true to what Jordan was saying last year about Yung Berg/Hitmaka, balaeric

it feels more like a jeremih record than a Ty$ record though, just in aesthetic—clean, crisp lines and deep sonic hues within a more formalist hip-hop soul structure, rather than the loose, proggy thing that Ty$ often does on his own records

Starting All Over is a timeless classsic imo.

CTRL+F might be letting me down but no sign of the Martelo remix itt. Though given it only seems to be available on myspace (!!) maybe not so surprising...https://myspace.com/mrmartelo/music/song/jeremih-birthday-sex-martelo-refix-72225869-79634301

He's in the ICU bc of Covid :(((

prayers up

:'(

what the fuck

TMZ is saying he's on a ventilator; hoping he's okay.

wow i hope he recovers :(

he did :)

*blasts Are You Live*

jeremih's first album in two years since a collabo with Ty Dolla is... a Christmas album with Chance the Rapper.

Also Chance's first album of the year! Just weird!

it's a sequel to a previous christmas mixtape they made a few years ago

okay, missed that. Pretty high-profile project without much hype.

is anyone ever hyped for christmas albums?

imo they’re really good too

the first volume iirc was just kinda thrown on soundcloud as a mixtape, feel like it’s a pretty low key project for both of them

is anyone ever hyped for christmas albums?

I've a friend pitching a book about them.

I didn’t even know he had an album/tape out this year until I randomly googled him tonight. It’s amazing how stuff just happens but you don’t necessarily ever hear about it

https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyJihFoIZ6EhqBgrSgJ6otctgQcSmbmCG

thats his mixtape from a decade ago, probably re-released or something

he did release a new single recently tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0xCsiK9cZ8

yeah pretty good!

he just needs to put an album out bcuz it will be awesome, i hope they're not trying to chase a hit or anything w/ him at this point

i love dude but that ship woulda sailed a decade ago if it was gonna

really nice track
