Music News - Jeremih confirms New Zealand leg of 'Late Nights' World Tour
09 December 2015 - 1 Comment
Frontier Touring is thrilled to confirm three Australian East Coast
shows and two New Zealand shows for R&B superstar Jeremih in
February of 2016. These headline shows coincide with Jeremih’s much anticipated
appearance at Good Life Festival 16.
‘It's Jeremih
season’ – Pitchfork (1 November 2015)
It’s been five years since Jeremih dropped his second LP All About You (Def
Jam) leaving critics and fans alike waiting with bated breath for another
album. In what has been a year of teasers for much anticipated third album Late Nights (out
now through Def Jam), singles You & I, Oui, Impatient (Pitchfork’s Best New
Track) and Pass Dat account for just some of
the Late Nights tracks Jeremih has dropped on the public without any notice. Late Nights also features Grammy nominated track Planes feat. J. Cole and Don’t Tell ‘Em feat YG which recently hit platinum
in America and Australia, selling over 3 million copies worldwide and counting.
Jeremih’s freshly released masterwork Late
Nights features Future, Big Sean, J. Cole, Ty Dolla $ign, Migos and
more and already has critics raving. The 15-track album displays Jeremih’s
modern take on R&B, and will continue to establish him as one of the most
important figures in the broader contemporary R&B music scene right now.
‘Compact and
floating, a music box lullaby for the beginning of a day’ – The Fader
‘It’s as smooth
and atmospheric as I’ve been hoping’ - Stereogum
Jeremih’s second Australian platinum single of the year came in the form of a
feature on Nelly’s smash hit track The Fix. Jeremih’s unforgettable
2009 smash Birthday Sex undeniably launched his
career – a career that would see admirers and collaborators in Drake, 2 Chainz,
Whiz Khalifa, French Montana, 50 Cent, Nikki Minaj, Flo Rida, T.I., Future and
J. Cole.
‘It’s one of
the best R&B songs of the year.’ – Pitchfork on Jeremih’s track ‘Planes’
‘‘Pass Dat’ is a
chilled-out yet jittery smoking anthem that strikes me as a subtly hyperactive
version of the futuristic twilight sonics that made ‘Planes’ so good’ -
Stereogum
While Jeremih’s commercial success is impressive, his collaborations with
alternative artists reveal another dimension to his work. In 2014, Jeremih collaborated
with electronic producer Shlohmo, releasing No
More EP (out through Wedidit). The EP showcases a total dichotomy
of Jeremih’s musical stylings; never however straying too far from his R&B
roots. Tracks from the EP include Bo Peep (Do U Right) and the driving
title track No More. Jeremih has also
collaborated on tracks with Chance the Rapper and Cashmere Cat, to name a few.
‘Jeremih’s got
a quiet confidence, and he knows how to make his voice glide silkily over
whatever track he’s singing on’ – Stereogum
‘No More
transcends cool diversion when Jeremih finally flexes amid Shlohmo's fog of
art-trap melancholy, especially on ‘Let It Go’, where he bops, ducks, swerves
and spectacularly caresses the melody.’ – Rolling Stone’s 20 Best R&B
Albums of 2014
‘Gorgeously
smoggy, humid, and sort of tragic despite the surface romance, with Jeremih’s
weightless falsetto piercing through the groaning bassline’ – Pitchfork
It’s been a year of surprise performances from the elusive R&B megastar,
performing brand new, unheard tracks from Late Nights without any notice all
over America. Meek Mill even brought Jeremih and Natalie La Rose out on stage
to perform their smash hit Somebody, which they performed live on the Ellen show in
April.
Drake hand-picked Jeremih to perform at his carefully curated OVO Fest in
Toronto, alongside J. Cole, Big Sean, YG and Drake himself. In June, Jeremih
kicked off Pepsi & iHeartRadio’s summer yacht party performing alongside
Flo Rida and Prince Royce.
‘Jeremih
brought the party’ – Billboard
Finally, it’s time to hear one of the most anticipated R&B releases in
recent years performed live, along with a swathe of other modern classics. With
music that transcends the worlds of mainstream and underground, there is
something for everyone at a Jeremih show. Don’t miss your opportunity to see
what all the hype is about.
