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.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 18 November 2010 05:22 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 18 November 2010 05:30 (thirteen years ago) link
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!
― goole, Thursday, 3 February 2011 06:04 (thirteen years ago) link
"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
― suxv (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 20:25 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― kl0p's son (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 20:32 (thirteen years ago) link
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.
― some dude, Wednesday, 30 March 2011 20:34 (thirteen years ago) link
think it's Jer-MI with a long I
― slight even by tweet standards (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 30 March 2011 20:34 (thirteen years ago) link
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

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

― maybe i'm just gay (Tape Store), Thursday, 31 March 2011 03:41 (thirteen years ago) link
i think there's a perfect balance of sleaziness & charm that really makes the song work -- i realized it when i was thinking too much about "love faces" & how trey songz really lacks tact in his songs, but i feel like jeremih in that song is sorta like a dick that would actually get a girl cuz his jokes are funny ("let's just take nine shots, we can call it 50") -- that balance of sleaziness & charm is also a big step up from "birthday sex" which i love as a song but jeremih's persona on that song is pretty ridiculous
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 31 March 2011 03:42 (thirteen years ago) link
the baltimore doc? didn't that come out like almost a year before "down on me"? or do you mean "birthday sex"?
― some dude, Thursday, 31 March 2011 03:42 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, "birthday sex"
― maybe i'm just gay (Tape Store), Thursday, 31 March 2011 03:43 (thirteen years ago) link
i listen to "down on me" kind of fascinated with how bizarre and uncomfortable jeremih can make his voice sound on it (and i like the way his voice sounds on a lot of other songs), but i'm neither annoyed or enjoying it, just kind of agog like wtf is he even doing

the most important part of "down on me" is that it means drumma boy has had two of the biggest rap/r&b hits of the year

holding on is great, yeah. love how the chorus sounds like it's just one note but secretly it's not

i'm pretty sure 'down on me' and 'wanna get up' have the exact same bridge

― Evan R, Monday, 9 July 2012 20:09 (eleven years ago) link
yeah totally, wish he'd just put the tape out cos the tracks arent doing anything on their own but together it might all potentially be a vibed out little classic
what a funny career arc he's having, probably never more popular and respected right now but never less likely to have a solo hit again
― r|t|c, Thursday, 12 July 2012 09:26 (eleven years ago) link
I don't know how popular or respected he is, at least outside of ILM. I think a lot of people find the boyish tint of his voice annoying.
Agree his window might be closing. Bei Maejor is kind of doing the same thing, but with more gravity.
― Evan R, Thursday, 12 July 2012 13:43 (eleven years ago) link
ok "popular and respected" is a slight stretch but people who mighnt have cared for his solo stuff now like him on hooks do they not
and i think his window's wide open, i'm just not certain he quite knows how to really distinguish himself solo any more
bei maejor is a charmless idiot
― r|t|c, Thursday, 12 July 2012 13:59 (eleven years ago) link
I would have thought Jeremih would have gotten more of a bounce from that really fun Diggy song earlier this summer, but that track didn't have the shelf life I expected.
I'm really conflicted about Bei Maejor. I think he can be a sharp songwriter sometimes, but that's not the same as liking him. "The Truth" was a really cold slab of storytelling, and "Til We Get It Right" was just an absolutely wonderful track
