Sean Garrett - Feel Love
Artist: Sean Garrett
Featuring: J. Cole
Producer: Sean Garrett, Clubba Langg
Album: Courtesy Of
Label: Bet I Penned It/Roc Nation/Columbia
After years of writing for prime-time artists (Usher, Ciara, Nicki Minaj), Sean Garrett is (still) looking to establish himself as a heavy-hitting performer. And with his latest single, Feel Love, he tackles this challenge in a softer tone. With simple, repetitive production, the focus is directed to the vocals, and at first the song doesn’t impress. However, after multiple spins Garrett’s lyrics and voice sound a bit better, and the song maintains a certain catchy feel. Now, I’m sure the majority of you clicked here for the J. Cole feature, so here it is: The song is about love and relationships, and this is not a knock on Cole, but this department may not be his strong suit. His verses aren’t weak, but they do raise some eyebrows as the NC emcee sounds a bit out of place. To make things even more complicated, Cole was a replacement as his arch-nemesis Drake was originally featured - Drizzy probably would have sounded more at home here. If you’re feeling this cut, be sure to look for Garrett’s upcoming debut on Roc Nation, Courtesy Of, which has yet to be given a release date.

Sean Garrett is an immensely talented individual, who has the skills to make hit records both via the pen and the recording booth. The problem is that his forte is in writing, not recording, and I always listen to his material thinking that it would sound much better in the hands of a more capable singer. The J. Cole contribution is okay, but the overall effect of the song is not everlasting.

J. Cole was pretty solid; but like Z, I believe the Pen isn't exactly the choice I'd choose behind the vocals.

This song was better than I thought. From reading the into, I was expecting a weak verse from Cole but I think he fitted well.

Yeah I agree as well. Sean is a great singer but you can't help but wish this song would of been given to a more talented singer. J was a nice feature but I feel the song didn't need a rapper. It would of still been good if Sean was just solo. Great lyrics, that hook is so addictive, since that's Sean's strong point.

Sorry, I just couldn't feel this one. Sean sounds super corny on that rap-intro, and I'd agree with Jon - Cole's the man, but he's not the best choice for romantic jams. That's no hate, just real talk. Eh....

It was good, I think Sean garrett's still trying to find his place as a recorder, he'll be around though.

I didn't think it was too bad actually. Definitely not J Cole's strong suit but he does really well, better than what I thought it would be
