Current bafflement: Jeremih

[koganbot]

Attempting to evaluate Jeremih's "Down On Me" ft. 50 Cent for possible inclusion in my e.o.y. Top 100; for seconds at a time it will seem impossibly pale but then - without changing - it will be impossibly beautiful, the paleness being the vehicle for the beauty. Might be an Autotune equivalent of dub: instead of the center being given to blank space and echoes, the sound is simply washed to paleness. At the very end the song goes to a moment of actual dub, albeit bass-free, and exquisite.

Track does an impressive job of eliminating the huge differences between how Fiddy and Jeremih sound.
