Jason Derulo Future History lyrics
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. All the boxes are ticked: Auto-Tune, a sample from an 80s hit (Toto's Africa, which gives the languid Fight for You a bit of bounce), washes of disco synths – and, of course, Derulo pledging his heart with gauche declarations such as: "Much more than a Grammy award, that's how much you mean to me." For all that, there's some likable listening here, but Derulo hasn't yet found a distinctive sound.
