Love Me is the latest single from J. Reed off of his most recent EP, Pearlie’s Boy. The song, inspired by a high school girlfriend. A story about a man who has come to an agreement with a woman that they are better off as is friends. However he still has feelings for this woman and though he wants to respect their decision, he believes that she still has feelings for him as well based on their conversations. It's a back and forth game with him on what he should do and what he wants to do. As a woman it is refreshing to hear a man, whether it’s true or not, express his feelings and thoughts about a woman he is interested in.
It definitely holds a summer groove but will do just fine for the fall. It seems like everyone these days are interested in love or in some crossroads on the issue, but for sure this song will bring one person to mind to whoever listens. A lot of times rappers try to overdue the word play to tell a story but J. Reed gets right to the point. While I love a good metaphor and awesome word play, the delivery of just a conversation is amazing too. It makes you think as if he’s either talking directly to you or for you. The song definitely feels personal and I truly believe this was a great choice as a single. "It was a breath of fresh air when I seen everyone's reaction after my verses were recorded", says J. Reed after explaining that everyone in his circle believes that this one is the "it" song. This is the first song I heard from J. Reed and I didn't know what quite to expect when I first received the link. Here I am weeks later and I listen to this song multiple times a day. Love Me holds this R&B/Pop feel to it, which I love but still holds on to the essence of Hip-Hop which definitely makes it that much better. I haven’t quite decided if it’s the song overall or my two favorite lines; “I probably need to hand you your wings and let you fly, but something in me tell me you lovin’ the way I try” & “My granny used to tell me she liked you and asked about you, so how would I look walk in heaven and I’m without you?”. The first line is very nostalgic. Not many times does a woman admit that the effort a man puts in does something to them no matter how much they push them away. I know I’ve been there. The second line, well everyone loves their granny. As a woman it would almost make me feel obligated to be with a man LOL, “I can’t let granny down”. I just know it's for sure going on my daily playlist. This song is just one off of Pearlie’s Boy. If you are feeling this, I would definitely suggest pressing play for a full picture. J. Reed has a show coming up at The Bullfrog in Redford Charter Township on November 11. He plans on releasing a visual for Love Me soon so be on the lookout.
