Woah there. Let's face it, this is the one we have all been waiting for. Ultimate tease Jai Paul has seemingly uploaded an album of sorts. Whilst there's debate about whether it's actually him/ if this is just a bunch of old demos/ a mixtape of things to come or that were, we just don't care about all of that. It's all irrelevant because this is the biggest dollop of Jai Paul we've ever been given and personally I'm having a GREAT time waking up to this on a Sunday morning. Amongst all the tracks you've heard before and never got bored of (Jasmine, BTSTU) there's a bunch of previously unheard stuff including a cover of Jennifer Paige's 'Crush'- it's a treat. Stream the entire thing and just ENJOY it because it is an absolute joy. Even if we never get an actual album release from the guy, I'll be happy with this.
That cover of 'Crush' could have been done by nobody other than Jai Paul himself, thus quashing any suggestion that this is the handiwork of a teenage boy with too much time on his hands.
IMAGINE 'Genevieve' in the club.
The sampling on Track 2 (Str8 Outta Mumbai) is interesting in that it makes me think M.I.A may have found a worthy contemporary, and he is a man no less.
The way the internet reacted to this, myself included, felt like a secondary school fire drill. Now we all know what to do and expect next time, should a "real" album follow.

** Ok, his laptop was stolen, illegal leak, etc etc. Weird, confusing, strange and if true, utterly terrible. The internet and all its hype is sometimes just a bit much isn't it. Take yourself away and just enjoy the music.
