Music reviews of Jeremih
Music Review: Strong First Outing
Rating: 4 Stars
R&B these days, save for a couple of artists has grown incredibly "similar". What I mean by that assertion is that everybody is doing the same thing. Jeremih proves to be another "good" addition to the R&B world, but even after listening to his solid debut, JEREMIH, one can't help but wonder if the singer will be able to separate himself from a saturated field of superb R&B artists. That is the similar problem that Pleasure P, a fine singer has on his impressive debut THE INTRODUCTION OF MARCUS COOPER. Let's face it, many have come and gone and with a stagnant economy hurting CD sales and further limiting the commercial viability of the new artist, you wonder where someone like Jeremih stands. Working in his favor is one sexy, catchy first single, "Birthday Sex", which may very well propel Jeremih past the other struggling newbies in the R&B game. Personally, JEREMIH is well rounded in my eyes, if at times a bit too repetitive for my tastes. Too often do remnants of The-Dream's repetitive brand of R&B appear here and it isn't The-Dream performing it. That aside, there is no reason for Jeremih to hang his head on this fine first outing.
Jeremih's producer, friend Mick Schultz has certainly been listening and studying his urban music. The productions on the album are fine, if copy-cat at times. But with first albums usually sporting downgraded production (from up and coming, no-name producers, respectively), this album is a treat as Mick successful "models" and embodies the popular "urban-sound" of today. "That Body" is a fantastic opener, exploiting Jeremih's lovely tenor vocals. "Birthday Sex", the "meat" of JEREMIH is exceptionally produced and has the distinction of sounding different from most other R&B songs on the radio. Sure, it is oft-compared to J. Holiday's "Bed", but in my eyes, it has a bit of a different spin and overall sound. I don't know how memorable "Birthday Sex" will be in years to come, but it is certainly one of the most recognizable singles of 2009.
"Break Up To Make Up" is another solid production showcase, as well as another strong performance by Jeremih. "Runway", similarly keeps up the momentum, with Schultz and Jeremih presenting their "A" game. "Raindrops" lays equally well as anything else, serving as another sexualized urban showcase, not as quite as catchy as "Birthday Sex", but equally sensual with mammoth drums and wah-wah synths. "Starting Over" is the first sincere ballad of the album aka not exploiting Jeremih's lovemaking plans for the ladies. Here, Jeremih's vocals are great and you can hear the exact reason why he was signed.
"Imma Star" is perfect for the clubs, in which Jeremih definitely whose his swagger off. "Jumpin'" and "Hatin' On Me" seem like repeats of songs written and rewritten over and over to some capacity by other artists, but like everything else on JEREMIH, they are definitely more than filler material by all means. "My Sunshine" is pleasant if the slightest bit bland. "My Ride", "Buh Bye", and a "Bonus" remix of "Birthday Sex" are less alluring, making Jeremih's self-titled album fall off the slightest bit. The positive thing is, Jeremih has already proved he has some chops and talent. The problem I as a listener and musician am left with is, is JEREMIH enough to truly establish Jeremih as more than a one-hit wonder? Only time will tell. As for me, 4 stars is appropriate for this debut.
