People love how she sounds and this song we have is super special.” The song we did is super cool because I think people are gonna love how she sounds on this song. She has a dope personality.’ It was super cool to make music with her. Everyone had been telling me, ‘She’s dope. We were doing a show…I watched her perform. I can’t wait for people to see it.” The singer also leaked some news about the upcoming album as well, saying he recorded a track with female vocalist Kehlani. “We have a song called ‘Angel’ that’s pretty awesome, I remember the first time I met her. You’re really connected with the experience…The video is amazing. It was an amazing experience to be in a place…for the first time. We actually shot three different videos over there. “I can’t wait for people to hear, for people to see it,” Omarion said about “Distance” in a recent interview. The artist has been busy down in South Africa not only wrapping shooting on the “BDY On Me” single but also filming a follow up track “Distance”. But here’s hoping that it’s not a repeat with his latest effort “BDY On Me”, the first single taken from his forthcoming album “Reasons”. He seems to have only defined himself as an artist who can produce one quality chart topper from one album at a time. I understand that a lot of songs in this collection were for baby-making, but to be frank, there are too many quality songs out there to have sex to for someone to settle for anything on this EP… Except “Admire,” that song is dope.Since departing from the group B2K it’s been a tough road for singer Omarion to make a solo name for himself commercially. But I don’t buy Omarion’s emoting, and I don’t think many other’s will either.Īs a whole, the Care Package EP is nice, but gets painfully boring quick. “Ode to Tae” is a nice try at the more genuinely emotional R&B that The Weeknd has made popular recently. Wale has a decent verse to add to Omarion’s energetic vocals. “M.I.A.” is at least more upbeat than the other shamelessly bedroom pandering tracks. There’s nothing special about anything in those songs, and so I just want to get them out the way. “Private Dancer,” “Out Loud,” and the song that follows the lame “Rozay Interlude,” “Trouble,” are R&B songs at their most standard. Not sure how that feature happened, but it’s always good to hear Trae, so thumbs up I guess.
Moving on, this song’s unnecessary feature is occupied by a lyrically adequate Trae Tha Truth. I”ll be honest here, up until “M.I.A.” this EP sounds just like Omarion found some scrapped album tracks and said “Whatever.” The second song on the EP ,“Arch Your It,” has pretty good production, but Omarion’s lyrics are so contrived that he actually is singing with a cadence and phrasing ripped straight from 2Chainz… I repeat, Omarion flowing like 2Chainz. Overall, the track goes down well and is the only real album-worthy cut in this collection. R&B D-list member Tank is also on the track, but that’s pretty much all you can say about him. Actually, “Admire” probably would have been better as just a song by Problem featuring Omarion. The rapper on the song, Problem, absolutely kills the song. The first track of the EP is “Admire,” and with its hypnotic minimalistic intro, the song is the EP stand-out, and for that reason, not a good starting track.
That’s not to say the intro isn’t good it’s just not really worth noting. The intro is a clusterfuck of R&B jargon mixed with airy 808’s and canned conversation. This isn’t that day though, and the Care Package EP, while good, is nothing close to spectacular. The day when Omarion puts all the focus on his unique voice that registers in a one of a kind sweet spot between a whiny and raspy will be the day he finally makes the quality music I know he can.
As an avid R&B listener, I always thought Omarion was better than the material he put out. Omarion is a wasted talent as far as I’m concerned.
