Mixerr Album Reviews #1,294

This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will review Jerome Childers - Too Old For Me.

If you love Tevin Campbell, Lil Johnny, or Quindon Tarver, then you will love the sounds of Jerome Childers. Remember when Jerome Childers was signed to Bad Boy Records back in the day from 1996 to 1998? That is when Jerome Childers went under the name of Jerome. He was a Bad Boy protege under tutelage of Puff Daddy in 1996. (A child protege at that, who was 11.) He wrote songs, produced, and sang on many hooks during his time on Bad Boy. Jerome is most memorable for his singing though. (He produced for Bad Boy Records and Puff Daddy from 1996 to 2000.)

Too Old For Me was the buzz single that led Jerome to have popularity in the spotlight for a short period of time. The soulful single was accompanied by a music video which had featured cameos of Puff Daddy, Keisha of Total, LOX, and NORE of course. Too Old For Me has a catchy beat that is still considered memorable to this day. Production for this song was top notch with no flaw. The remix had a more urban rap feel. The remix had featured NORE and The LOX.

Despite having a buzz single under the most prestigiously known record label of the era, the Jerome - Too Old For Me album never saw an official release as a retail album but instead as an album sampler released as a promo across the United States and Canada. Promo copies of this do exist in limited quantities. The buzz single did not exceed to meet the expectations Bad Boy Records was hoping for in order to become a chart topping success. Too Old For Me has some amazing singing talent with these ballads.

I rate this single, Too Old For Me, 5/5*****!!
