 Raunchy smash ''Birthday Sex'' is the catchiest tune on this 21-year- old's debut, but it's got competition from all the other hit-worthy R&B hooks on Jeremih. Chances are Jeremih will be celebrating for many a birthday to come. B+...full text |

There's more to Jeremih's debut album than "Birthday Sex," a bedroom ballad that became a major summertime crossover hit a la J. Holiday's "Bed." Outside of the startlingly direct delivery of its title and the stuttering effect that comes into play whenever Jeremih sings lines like "I know you want to cry-y-y out" and "Girl you know I-I-I" -- a twist on the-Dream's oft-deployed stammer -- "Birthday Sex" is a basic but ingratiating slow jam built over Mick Schultz's gently rocking lullaby beat, rather "Bed"-like. Schultz, who met the singer in college, produces the whole album. Despite being a mere upstart who takes many cues from the hottest pop-savvy R&B producers running, including Tricky Stewart, Carlos McKinney, Danja, and Timbaland, he supplies his partner with a set of backdrops that covers all the bases, from low-slung Southern trunk rattlers to glossy Euro-flavored pop. Jeremih's charmingly sly voice, somewhere between One Twelve's Slim and a young Raphael Saadiq, is hard to not like, especially when he tempers his cockiness with a little sensitivity -- best heard in "Break Up to Make Up," the song that also bears the album's sharpest hooks.

| With his smash, steamy single “Birthday Sex,’’ Jeremih has almost single-handedly made everyone look forward to getting older. The debut from the Chicago native doesn’t come close to capturing the magic of that small epiphany. It sounds like a disc from a 21-year-old who hasn’t developed a fully formed musical vision yet has great potential. A lot of the material here is as thin as Jeremih’s voice, which shows little range. No doubt the vocals will fill out as he matures, but we’ll have to see if the songs do as well. The disc opens with “That Body,’’ which steals from R. Kelly as well as from The-Dream’s production technique, followed by the terrific single. But it doesn’t maintain that momentum, and a bit of schizophrenia sets in. “My Sunshine’’ is a sweet piano-driven trifle filled with heartbreak, while “Starting All Over’’ is rendered with style, but “Imma Star (Everywhere We Are)’’ indulges in gratuitous self-congratulation. Producer Mick Shultz relies on a lot of electronic blips and swooshes as he compensates for Jeremih’s vocal limitations. But there are dynamic tracks here, including “Runway’’ (the remix should be killer) and “My Ride,’’ which, despite clumsy rhymes, bounces like Chrysler checks. (Out tomorrow)...full text |
