Background

While attending Columbia College Chicago, Jeremih collaborated with record producer Mick Schultz.[4] Together, they wrote all the songs, while Schultz produced the entire album. The duo recorded approximately 20 songs for the album.[5] In February 2009, Jeremih met with Island Def Jam chairman L. A. Reid and executive vice president of A&R Karen Kwak. After performing for the two, Jeremih was signed to Def Jam Recordings that same day.[6][7]

Release and promotion

Prior to its release, the album was previewed exclusively on social networking website MySpace. "Birthday Sex", the lead single from the album, topped the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[8] It peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 58 on the Canadian Hot 100.[9][10] "Imma Star (Everywhere We Are)", the second single, has peaked at number 23 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100.[11]

Critical reception

Upon its release, Jeremih received generally positive reviews from most music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, it received an average score of 70 based on four reviews.[12] Andy Kellman of Allmusic described Jeremih's vocals as "charmingly sly", expressing a comparison to Slim of 112 and Raphael Saadiq.[13] Giving the album a C-, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune felt that the use of Auto-Tune made Jeremih sound like a "clone" of Kanye West, but showed "little of West's imagination on his debut album".[14] Meanwhile, following the album's August 2009 UK release, noted R&B writer Pete Lewis of 'Blues & Soul' referred to it as "A promisingly-diverse R&B set which combines jiggy, club-flavoured tracks like the sexy 'That Body' and catchy 'My Ride' with classy soulful ballads like the hauntingly mellow 'Starting All Over' and wistful 'My Sunshine'.[15] The album debuted at number six on the Billboard 200, selling 59,000 copies in its first week.[16] As of late 2010, Jeremih's debut album has sold over 500,000 copies in the US.
