From lustrous, catchy Late Nights to the private jet sex vibes of Late Nights: The Album to trappy, indulgent Late Nights: Europe, Jeremih has bestowed upon humanity a R&B trilogy that will bask in internet glory forever.
The Chicago crooner has more than a nice voice and a nice pen (R&B game Keats with the pen) -- he possess a unique sonic vision that exists in conversation with the modern pop zeitgeist.
Click through the gallery to revisit highlights from Jeremih's "Late Nights" trilogy.
"Fuck U All The Time" feat. Natasha Mosley
Jeremih's music is often slow-paced but there is never a dull moment because he likes to take risks. Mosley's slammed vibrato on the chorus is what makes this song.
"Ahh Shit" feat. Fabolous
Ah shit.
Never has the phrase "Ahh shit" been delivered with such tonal dexterity. Within those two syllables, Jeremih takes about six different melodic turns and in the process communicates utter confidence.
"Go To The Mo"
"Go To The Mo" encapsulates what is so great about Jeremih. He sings about such topics as dirty, disgusting, motel sex with nothing but dignity and poise.
"773 Love"
In case you thought Mike WiLL Made-It wasn't the most versatile producer in the game.
"Planez" feat. J Cole (prod. Frank Dukes and Vinylz)
Maybe Jeremih's best song ever, despite J Cole's best attempts to ruin everything. "Dick so big it's like a foot is in your mouth"... dude.
"oui"
"oui" is bursting with life, full of ideas, and a bit all over the place. Jeremih's velveteen voice, motivated partly by true love, partly by raw carnal desire, rests at the song's core and holds its pieces together with ease.
"Impatient" feat. Ty Dolla $ign
"Impatient" is a song of extremes -- the 808s below, the roiling winter of Jeremih's discontent that he is not presently getting laid, and his falestto hook that drifts like an innocent vapor high above.
"Don't Tell Em" feat. YG
"Don't Tell Em" was originally released in June 2014, eighteen months before Late Nights: The Album. It may be a glossy, radio-friendly club anthem but it never fails to get the blood pumping.
"British Headboards"
Combining the expertly deployed harmonies of "773 Love" with the intimate minimalism of "woosah," British Headboards" is kinda like its lecherous cousin, Ty$'s "Or Nah," but with more game.
"Copenhagen" feat. Sonyae
Late Nights: Europe was conceived in the stripped-down tradition of LN: The Album. "Copenhagen" is a standout in part because it is comparatively lush, a pleasing change of pace as Jeremih enters into an uptempo flow, giving listeners more to love.
