How does Jason Derulo follow up his J.R. Rotem-produced debut single “Whatcha Say,” the monster that bumped Owl City’s “Fireflies” off the top of the Billboard Hot 100? By hooking up with Rotem again for the (slightly) more up-tempo, (slightly) rock-infused “In My Head.”
Derulo’s new single appeared on the 20-year-old singer’s MySpace. How does he fare without the use of a ubiquitous Imogen Heap sample?
“In My Head,” of course, isn’t to be confused with Iyaz’ current hit “Replay,” which contains the refrain “Shawty’s like a melody in my head.” That one, by sheer and complete coincidence, was produced by J.R. Rotem and co-written by Jason Derulo.
“For eight months J.R. and I literally locked ourselves in the studio, wrote and recorded,” Derulo says in his MySpace bio. “Our aim was to not be influenced by trends, and make sure that our art was coming from a true place.”
Wonder what “true place” that hot-and-heavy breathing at about a minute into “In My Head” comes from, then?
So instead they are influenced by the trends of 8 months ago (eg slick autotune).
this song is the bomb
Goodness Jason Derulo is such a generic RnB/pop hybrid cliche.
The song is completely bland.
JASON WAS GREAT ON MTV TODAY.
i absolutely love ” In My Head” and ” Watcha Say” . I can't say why i love them so much theres just something about them. Maybe its just the message of the songs. In ” Watcha Say ” , the message that is sent out to the listener is that cheating isn't okay and it really isn't. The message from ” In My Head “…well i cant find a clear message but it is somewhat like the song ” Love Story ” by Taylor Swift (UCK) but from a guys perspective.
I love Jason Derulo . His songs ” In My Head ” , which I happen to be listening to right now, and ” Watcha Say ” are absolutely amazing. Both songs have messages. though the message in the song ” In My Head ” isnt clear, it is almost like the song ” Love Story” by taylor swift *UCKY* but in a guys perspective. the message is most clear. and for those of you who cant seem to get it, the message is that cheating is wrong and that is completely true.
