Mann - Text
Artist: Mann
Featuring: Jason Derulo
Producer: Jonathan "J.R." Rotem
Album: Senior Year
Label: Mercury/IDJMG
There’s no doubt about it: texting has become the music industry’s latest technological obsession; Raheem DeVaughn and the Ko*Starz have both dropped records with “Text Message” in the title, Trey Songz’ latest single combined the medium’s most popular acronym and emoticon into one radio-ready jam—heck, a certain Chi-town singer‘s Booth-incubated breakout hit originally bore the title Birthday Text. Now, L.A.‘s very own Mann has jumped on board the bandwagon with new single Text, a track on which he explains just how much lust 160 characters can inspire. Fellow SoCal native and Beluga Heights signee Jason Derulo channels a bit of his label’s alpha wolf in his hook, and head honcho J.R. Rotem delivers boardwork befitting a summer smash (okay, it’ll be early fall by the time it impacts). Mercury/Def Jam have yet to assign Senior Year a solid release date, but, with a single this catchy, it’s only a matter of time.

Similar to my feedback on the new Juvenile single, I'll be damned if someone says this isn't catchy-enough to work at radio. JR's pop-appealing production, Jason's synthy hook vocals, and Mann's fun-swagger make for a potential winner.
Only question... are people sick of talking about text messages? We will certainly find out.

this is hot.. Mann's flow suprised me. I'll look out for him. For a song about texts he made this catchy since this seems aimed at the younger crowd. And Jason Derulo went in on this hook!

It's mainstream but Mann's flow is much better than Soldier Boy see "Kiss me through the Phone" which I'm reminded of; which is a double-edged sword. It may help with popularity or it could hurt because it's a "rip-off". Well not really but the subject is similar and the subject matter obviously isn't insightful but mainstream doesn't care about that....now do they...unfortunately.

This is a kiss me through the phone type joint. Too safe for me. I don't really like these type of beats these days. Over used sounds!! Mann sounds like a clever MC, we shall see what comes from him next. I'm on the fence about him.

The production is cool, JR Rotem never fails, but overall the melody is a lil boring. I mean, it's a good song but a generic, I've heard other songs like this many times!

Jason Derulo is a stud. He can sing, but to be honest, this is just your average song. Decent beat, catchy hook, and sub-par rapping. 2.5, but rounded up because of Jason Derulo.

It's cute. Definitely for the radio and the teens. I might spin it in the club but I'll probably wait for the girls to request it.
