Radio Ready

RnB/Pop

Jason DeRulo (2010)

1. Whatcha Say
2. Ridin' Solo
3. In My Head
4. The Sky's The Limit
5. What If
6. Love Hangover
7. Encore
8. Fallen
9. Blind
10. Strobelight (Bonus)
11. Queen Of Hearts (Bonus)
12. What Cha Say (Acoustic)






It might seem that Jason DeRulo came out of nowhere, but the young sensation has gathered experience in recent years winning talent competitions and appearing onstage in musical productions form the age of 5 and writing for artists like Diddy, Cassie and Pitbull from 16, Jason Derulo has actually been doing big things off the radar for a while now. With his self-titled debut comes his time to shine, but will he be able to prove himself as more than just another one-hit wonder?

Overall, while Jason Derulo’s self titled album may not be particularly groundbreaking, it contains a bevy of radio-ready songs playing off the formula that has been so successful for him in recent times, which should please fans. JR Rotem’s production makes the album stick together considerably well, but listeners might grow tired of hearing the same synths and snares on every song. With quite a few great pop songs and nothing on the album that can truly be labeled as “bad”, Derulo has done well on his debut to distance himself from the stigma of being a “one hit wonder” - whether he can go above and beyond this is something that remains to be seen, however.

Here is the debut album from Empire Of The Sun – an electro- psychedelic project led by Luke Steele, the enigmatic wunderkind behind Australia’s The Sleepy Jackson and Pnau’s Nick Littlemore. Exotic, lavish, larger-than-life, Empire Of The Sun brings together these two unlikely collaborators from Australian pop. ‘Walking On A Dream’ is a bold, visionary and brilliant album, which manages to sound exhilaration contemporary, audaciously forward-looking, yet also curiously archaic all at once.
