Meanwhile, 50 Cent eggs on the singer during his guest appearance by commenting on how his girl can “bounce it fast and shake it slow.” As much as “Down on Me” plainly promotes grinding to the beat, Jeremih smartly attempts to know his dancing muse on a personal level. The thumping song stays heavy on synthesizer as Jeremih spots his lady interest on the dancefloor during the chorus.

Following the breakout success of bedroom track “Birthday Sex,” uptempo club banger “Down on Me” is his latest single to crack the Billboard Hot 100 and keep the ladies in mind. ARTIST: JEREMIHĪlthough Jeremih can work in many styles, the R&B singer/ songwriter’s affinity for women has been a constant presence in his singles. Over laissez-faire, reggae-inspired guitar and percussion, Martin and Jimenez trade playful verses about a deeply satisfying relationship, achieving a dynamic similar to that of Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat on “Lucky.” It’s tough to resist connecting Martin’s opening lines (“I finally feel happy/Sadness is not for me”) with his personal triumphs of the past year, but this subtext makes “Lo Mejor de Mi Vida” feel all the more like a genuine expression of delight.

With debut album “19,” Adele displayed an understanding of the importance of a sweeping chorus: Well-written ballads like “Chasing Pavements” and “Hometown Glory” became outstanding when their powerful hooks unfolded.


“Down by the Water” captures the feeling of desperation with an accessibility that could deliver the Decemberists to a wider audience. “So knock me down, tear me up/ But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup/Down by the water and down by the old main drag,” they belt, with Meloy revisiting the nautical themes of the band’s past work. Buck’s instrumental contributions drive the track, but folk songstress Gillian Welch, who duets with Decemberists frontman Colin Meloy, is even more captivating. Lead single “Down by the Water” previews the homage by featuring R.E.M.’s Peter Buck on guitar and mandolin. While the last two albums by Portland, Ore., indie rockers the Decemberists have been operatic song cycles with historical undertones, forthcoming sixth disc “The King Is Dead” is a love letter to country-inspired folk music and ‘80s indie.
