Jeremih: 'Birthday Sex'
Writing a song called 'Birthday Sex' is a bit of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you're pretty much guaranteed to get our attention; on the other, you've got a lot to live up to. Sadly, US R&B crooner Jeremih Felton fails to pull it off here. (Dodgy innuendo intended.)

His 'Birthday Sex' is a plinky-plonky, R Kelly-style slow jam that never gets close to a musical climax. Oddly enough, his vocals sound almost neutered, while the lyrics alternate between the cheesy ("Without a broom I might sweep you off your feet") and the crass ("I improv between your legs"). It's no abomination, but writing a song called 'Birthday Sex' and making it as mundane as this is quite an achievement.
