Jason Derulo - Whatcha Say
Artist: Jason Derulo
Producer: Jonathan "J.R." Rotem
Album: Jason Derulo
Label: Warner Bros. Records Inc.
It seems that unsigned R&B artists are starting to follow a pattern: submit your best record to DJBooth.net in August, watch the rave reviews roll in, wait a few months, and get signed to Beluga Heights/Warner Bros. Devoted readers will remember that Auburn scored a deal soon after she sent single Eww Eww to this very site in August of ‘07. Now, it’s happened again, only replace the key words with “Jason DeRulo,” “Algebra,” and “‘08.” On his latest single, Jason Derulo admits he’d been letting the fame get to his head and flirting with other women behind his girl’s back. Committed to changing his ways, he asks her, “Whatcha Say about some ‘kiss and make up?’” Label boss J.R. Rotem backs the record with a sample from Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek, borrowing the phrase that comes just after the snippet that appeared on DJ Wich‘s What We Need. Jason’s upcoming album, tentatively entitled Future History
which will be self-titled, might not have a release date yet, but, with Rotem’s knack for creating summer anthems, it might arrive sooner than you’d think.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart
on June 15, 2009

I like this beat alot, (even if it's that OC song) JR is impressive on this one. The singing gets slightly old after awhile so Im giving this 4 stars for the beat and 3 for the overall.

I have to give this a 2.5: just out of rotation. It was catchy and mainstream enough, but it wasn't great. His vocals were pretty unimpressive to me, the melody was mediocre and annoying at times, and the production was average.

This is a banger! He used the sample well, it really fits in with the overall tone of the song. His vocals are good, the beat is banging...its set to take over radio playlists everywhere

Not bad. I thought the 'Algebra' song he had was pretty good too. I think this is the 2nd time I've heard Imogen Heap’s Hide and Seek sampled on a track on DJBooth lol. JR and Derulo have a solid track here.

Hmmm....Burmy, I hope what you are saying in that blurb proves to be true...lol. J.R ROTEM, holler at me!
But anywho, this is definitely dope. I think Auburn said on Twitter that she's working on a track with him too. She posted a snippet of it on Twitter. |

To be honest, I liked this a lot. He sounded very good on the verses and the hook was catchy. Put that on some good production work, what else can you ask for? Looking forward to hearing more of him.

I've been listening to this track for about 2 months straight. And it still sounds fresh!!! Very creative. Imogen Heap is a great artist too...probably won't be featured on DJ Booth anytime soon. lol

I say the sounds would be a lot better WITHOUT him using auto-tune. It's really getting old. Even Roger Troutman is stating he'll never sing Computer Love again... (lol, i dunno if he said that, but I would if I was him)

This song seem to target the younger generation.... This is one of those tracks that will be hot for about six months then will never be heard of again.
