The secret to crossover success seems to be that pivotal song that gets people talking. For Jason Derülo, an artist fitting somewhere between pop and R&B incorporating electronic, dance, and hip-hop, that hit was "Whatcha Say". His 2010 self-titled album also spawned several more hits, seemingly setting up the singer for future success. Unfortunately for the young pop star, his 2011 effort Future History fell 'flat as a pancake' commercially. As they say, "third time's the charm"...

Available on: Beluga Heights / Warner Bros How to be really, really hip in music journalism, lesson #1: when reviewing shit records the party line is thus - low culture reveals as much about the times we live in as high art. For example, were the music fan looking for an insight into the collective psychology of generation Facebook, the right-on journo might tell you that Farrah Abraham's My Teenage Dream Ended - an apocalyptically heinous, reaper's lullaby of a record, is more illuminating of...

Jason Derulo's smooth voice is absolutely perfect when it comes to those lovesick pop and R&B; songs which woo a woman much like Bruno Mars. I wasn't surprised that his latest album Tattoos started off with his killer hit "The Other Side," a song about moving out of the friend zone. With an easily relatable topic in the lyrics and upbeat, danceable accompanying music, it's no surprise that this song became so popular. Jason's love songs are predictable but I loved them...

It's currently mandatory for R&B mainstreamers to start songs by announcing their own name, and Jason Derulodoes just that here. The opening track (and No 1 UK single), Don't Wanna Go Home, springs into action with a cry of "Jason De-rooo-lo!", and that tells you exactly what to expect over the next 45 minutes or so: namely, an album that cleaves so closely to this year's ubiquitous pop/urban sound that you wonder whether the Florida-born crooner has an original idea in his head...

He may have started out writing for Diddy and Sean Kingston, but singer/songwriter Jason Desrouleaux - known statewide as Jason Derülo - had his sights set on becoming a performer. Hanging on the balances of electro-pop and Chris Brown-esque crossover R&B, the Florida native makes his national debut with a self-titled, moderately short ten track production. On the surface, Derülo feels like the new thing designed for UK synth-pop domination, but the climate in U.S...
