This new J.P. album, Coming Out Party, is completely bizarre. There are songs that sound like Khalid if he made twerk music. Ditties that belong on pop-country radio, if they would give him a chance. Full-throated gospel vocals over Milwaukee lowend handclaps. I mean, c'mon, the project kicks off with J.P. getting a little freaky over a sample of Laurie Anderson 's 'O Superman.' I think I dig it?
But I'm for sure into 'Over Here,' where the college athlete turned viral rap star churns out one of those soft and cozy party anthems he's so good at. He sounds like he's swooning while he gives out twerk commands, with twangy, fluffy melodies that would be sweet enough for Radio Disney if he wasn't so raunchy.
