The emerging star of Salt Lake City Jermain comes out boldly with his newest single “That’s News”. It is a high-energy mix of R&B, rap, and pop, and it demonstrates that the artist can transition between various genres without losing the freshness and excitement of the sound.
“That News” is a confidence-attitude based construction. The song narrates about how a girl, who has a real relationship, abandons it to find someone who is flashy and rich but upon her return to the relationship, she realizes the glamour and materialistic things are temporary. Jermain delivers the message in a humorous and swaggish manner transforming the situation into a humorous and amusing anthem. The song is joyful and daring and it embodies the sense of a person who understands his value.
The song is unique, musically, due to the high blend of melodies and rhythm. Jermain is in perfect control in shifting between relaxed R&B singing and hard rap verses. This equilibrium makes the track involved throughout the entire duration and emphasizes his flexibility as a singer and a lyricist.
His musical history also makes a significant contribution to the sound. Being a mixed Filipino and African American artist, Jermain initially found his passion in music in his Baptist church children choir. Those childhood experiences are still audible in the song about the rich harmony and the soulful delivery. Moreover, his six years of playing the alto sax contributed to the formation of his musical ear and rhythm.
On the whole, “That News” comes as a pumped-up main character anthem. It has that feel that would be ideal on a late-night dance floor and at the same time, it has the sound that would be suited on heavy rotation on the radio. Jermain has shown that he can create a strong impression in the contemporary music with his catchy tunes, self-assured lyrics, and energetic production.
