VIDEO: Jeremih - Raindrops


Well damn... While I wasn't a fan of Jeremih's debut album (click here for the review), Raindrops was one of the better offerings from the project. And it just got better. This video leaves very little to the imagination and I have NO problem with that... Nicely done Jeremih...

Jeremih - Slow Love Divine





Another cut off DJ Storm's upcoming R&B Radio Volume 6 mixtape, I'm really digging this joint by Jeremih. I wasn't feelin his album too much, but the dude has talent, I can't deny that. This reminds me of some real good 90's R&B, good look Jeremih...

I was really hoping he wouldn't pick this wack song as a single, but hey when the album's wack I guess you don't have much choice. His self-titled debut album wasn't much to sing about, and neither is this song. In fact, his videos seem to be WAY better than the songs, which only speaks for the directors of the video. For some odd reason I still have faith in this kid, I just feel like he was dealt a raw deal with his first album. Better luck next time.

Haaaaa!! Okay, let's be honest... I really hate this song. If Soulja Boy was a singer, this is a song he would make. But the concept for this video is pretty damn funny!! It actually makes me like the song a little more. I recommend you check out my review of Jeremih's self-titled debut album, this kid has talent but you won't find it on that album. Still, this is one hella funny video!








Album Review: Jeremih - Jeremih

Artist: Jeremih
Album: Jeremih
Release Date: 6.30.09

From his live performances, some would argue that Jeremih is a talented singer, but you wouldn’t know by listening to this album. At his worst his vocals are comparable to a second-rate Dream, at best he’s an underdeveloped Raphael Saadiq – and therein is the problem. Vocally he sounds like an undeveloped talent, in need of a few years training to get him to realize the potential LA Reid obviously sees in him. The vocals on this album are overrun by production and lack of concept. Nothing new here at all.

Powered mostly on the strength of production, Jeremih has some decent offerings. Opening the album is That Body, which would be perfect for a single. The vibe gets particularly sexy on the upbeat Runway, lyrically a dedication to the fashionable girls around the world that enjoy looking sexy. Breakup to Makeup is slated as a single and goes slightly harder on the vocals but it’s really just an average song. In the vein of Birthday Sex there’s Raindrops, laced with sexy lyrics meant especially for the ladies. The vocal purity is at its peak on Starting All Over, where the voice augmentation devices and auto-tune are put away to reveal Jeremih’s true talent. On this song, he channels that young and undeveloped Raphael Saadiq with his smooth tones. Buh Bye is another highlight and closes the album with an energetic beat.

Despite the aforementioned highlights, this album sadly falls short more than it rises. I’mma Star (Everywhere We Are) is nothing more than a failed attempt to follow the current trend of flashy lyrics over southern-style bass-heavy beats. Judging from the sample of Soulja Boy’s Donk, it’s apparent that Jumpin is also meant for the clubs, but it’s another less than impressive effort. Hatin On Me, My Sunshine are also tracks that leave much to be desired from the R&B artist.

Within just 4 short months, Jeremih Felton accomplished a feat that takes some artists years to do: he was signed to Def Jam by music mogul LA Reid, released a Billboard top 5 single, and released his self-titled debut album. With Birthday Sex, taking over the airwaves, Jeremih appeared to be the next great thing for R&B music – this album proves otherwise. His BET Awards performance confirmed that he can indeed provide quality vocals, but this project overshadows all of his natural talent.

Sound-Savvy officially rates Jeremih with 2.5 out of 5 platinum headphones.

Monday's Motivation Muzik: Fabolous ft. Jeremih - It's My Time


Needed a bit of inspiration this morning and, of course, I felt like sharing. It's My Time is a track that will appear on Fabolous' next album Loso's Way, now pushed back to the end of July. This is a song about resilience in the face of insurmountable odds. Your visions become reality when you stand up and claim what's yours. Remember, no one can take your dream from you. If it's your time, go get it! Always give yourself something to live for, something to hope for, something to attain and you'll always find your reward. Happy Monday and have a great week!

Mack: It's undeniably one of the best gifts you can give someone... Jeremih follows up his sexy top 10 single with this hot and steamy video. This song is gonna be any lady's favorite so fellas, get up on your game and take notes on how to serve it up and put it down on her special day of the year. I also gotta say, whoever directed this video did an excellent job with the details. Look for Jeremih's debut album later this year from Def Jam... Enjoy!

Video: Fabolous - It's My Time


Wow... I don't really know what else to say, but Fabolous is doing it BIG for his new album! This is another hot track and fly video! Jeremih on the hook makes It's My Time some more heat Fab is droppin for the summer. The beat gives the track a militant yet triumphant type feel and I'm really diggin it. What I've heard so far, Loso's Way is shaping up to be a hell of an album. I wouldn't get caught sleepin' on Fabolous this summer...

Jeremih - Everywhere We Are


Ha ha haaaaa... Is this dude serious? This track is WACK!! I was halfway feelin' Birthday Sex, but any credit that he was gettin from me on that is on it's way out the window with this one. Quite simply, this is what Soulja Boy would sound like if he went R&B! We've got enough wack hip-hop on the airwaves, let's not add this rap-sing bullshit to the mix. It's a tough industry out here, so someone should tell Jeremih's camp - bring the heat or stay out the game!!

Jeremih feat. Fabolous - Birthday Sex (Remix)


Is it just me, or does this kid sound a lot like The Dream (makes me wonder who wrote this...)?? Fabolous never hesitates to blaze his feature spot, and he puts it down on this joint. I'm sure the ladies will really love this one, so it's especially for you. Sure I'm vibin with the concept of Birthday Sex, but the sound is too unoriginal. I hope he's got something stronger in his arsenal if he plans to survive this industry. I'll give him a chance though...
