Ahmad Belvin - Super Sorry
Artist: Ahmad Belvin
Producer: J.R. Rotem
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Label: J Records
For some wrongs, such as, say, repeated infidelity, a simple “Sorry” just isn’t good enough. How can you make things right when you’ve f***ed up big-time – like, Tiger Woods big-time? On his debut single, singer Ahmad Belvin (previously heard under the name “A.B.” on the T-Pain-assisted Trophy Girl) shows us fellas how it’s done: simply tell her you’re “Super Sorry,” and then spell it out a couple times to drive the point home. While your mileage with the “super-apology” approach may vary, the song itself is pretty much guaranteed to take up shop in your head. Boasting Belvin’s melodic vocals and the characteristically pop-appealing synth boardwork of superproducer J.R. Rotem, this super-catchy cut could hardly be a more auspicious debut for the J Records buzzmaker. Is it infectious enough to earn Ahmad’s yet-untitled freshman full-length a solid release date sooner than later? That, I am Super Sorry to say, remains to be seen – but Booth readers can feel free to speculate.

I know my reputation in the Booth would be shot if I just flat out said that I liked this record, so allow me to criticize it first while you decide whether or not to hold my feedback in the future in high esteem.
Critical Of...: Sounds like it fits squarely into the same super-saturated mold of R&B-pop acts like I.Y.A.Z, Jason DeRulo, etc... Now, onto the good stuff... First, the production is crack. JR Rotem has hit a groove over the last few years and he stays in his lane, churning out hit after hit. So, I ask, why would this be any different? Two, Belvin's voice (while a tad underdeveloped because of his age) is controlled and doesn't try to do too much. And three, how dope is dude's style (he got 2 points for the out-of-this-world wings in the photo above). **After listening to this 4 more times today, I realize I overrated. I've gone ahead and lowered my ratings from a 4 to a 3.

That's a crazy freakin outfit! It's cool though. The production is great, but I find his voice a little whiny. Like you said though @DJ Z, he does have good control over his voice

wow is that a sample????? well if it is what a pick on the jr-rotem sounding beat(haha i looked up and i was so right..... it was jr rotem)
gotta give props for the wings he looks so out of this world with that jacket reminding me of this alien type creature in a book i read a couple years ago forgot the name. its in rotation for me the beat is hott but its not my type yet maybe when i see the music video and give it more listens it wil hit home. |

I don't like this formulaic trend of the likes of I.Y.A.Z, Jason DeRulo, Sean Kingston... their vocals are all average at best and musical creativity is zero! Like this guy, I don't like his voice at all, it's just annoying and the songwriting is so mercenary it hurts.
Hot garbage! (You will know as soon as you see him perform this live, like some awful "Fire Burning" performances I saw by Sean Kingston...) |

I'm a big fan of Ahmad. (Especially "Outer Space") I like his voice cause it's unique and stands out. This song is a little too commercial and trendy (and I'm not crazy about the use of "Super Sorry" phrase.) But it's good enough to get Ahmad some attention. Hopefully his follow-up single is more original.

im super sorry but i think his voice is really annoying-
but the song is catchy...the Beat sounds it would have some eastern influence in it.. good song. But the voice is just weird to me, but i guess i will get used to it, If Ahmad Belvin will continue make good songz like this. |

well i loved trophy girl. i thought that was an easy banger, this is a different style of song though. just another sugar-pop song to add to the rapidly-growing collection, i dont think i need to mention names. this rates highly with me though. firstly cos jr rotem was behind the boards and the majority of the time that guarantees at least 3 stars for me and second of all because im a sucker for hip-pop i must admit. so its a 3.5 but cos of my bias i must round up!

Anyone know where I can find some enormous shoulder pads? I'm sorry, I had to.
Anyway, back to the track. Basically J.R.'s pumping out the same beat over and over again, but considering his track record, it's hard to hate. With that said, I gotta be real. I'm not sure what Belvin's bringing to the table here. His voice sounds ready to me - me makes Jason Derulo sound like Mariah Carey. I'm super sorry, but I can't get with this one.

I can’t sit here and act like I'm not super surprised @Z's feedback and rating. This gots to be the most synthetic-sounding vocal performance through auto-tune. Yep, studio engineers are in total control of his voice. If you can’t sing the song properly, no amount of post-processing will make it sound like you did.
Jason Derulo version is MUCH BETTER. No matter the unconvincing result, least he put in efforts with the lyrics and tried to put "Oh Na Na" to better use. It's definitely worth hearing. |

JR Rotem's beat was radio friendly. AB's
vocals were ok, but not to my liking. The voice during the hook and beginning of the song was annoying. |

Are you fukcing kidding me! Usually try to be fair with the ratings, but what it is this. Just by the look of this guy he definitely has a futuristic vibe to his persona and he clearly expresses himself in this track.
Futuristic and all over the place pretty much sums up the production. Verses were much better than the majority of the track which consisted of a really annoying little voice worked into the hook. Hook was really the downfall of this. Definitely aimed at the radio, but the only people I can see really having this high on replay are young teenage girls. This isn't my style. It's Ok. |

Lady Gaga get up I see. Seems too mainstream for me. And not the best singing voice I heard. I'm sure ladies will dig it. J.R continues to do his thang. Good on the first few listen's, same ol same ol after that
