Jeremih's sophomore album, "All About You," has leaked in full (And I Have It!). The 23-year-old singer delivers records about love, heartbreak and sex with this eleven track album.

Much like his self-titled debut, which spewed a Platinum single in "Birthday Sex," production is top notch. In fact, "All About You" is perhaps more solid from start to finish than it's predecessor. Jeremih showcases a bit of growth lyrically and musically as evident on the album highlight, "Broken Down." The track compliments Jeremih's voice and you can hear the snarl as he sings, which adds a different element to it.

Jeremih gives us those baby-making records with cuts like the album's title cut, "All About You," the finger snapping "Waiter" and the album's first single, "I Like," featuring Ludacris. Although his word play on those records is a bit cringe worthy, they will prove to come in handy for those late night sessions.

The album's dark horse is "Take Off," a heavy hitting mid-tempo that sports a beat that sounds fresh out of Ryan Tedder's front pocket. Although it is a single worthy cut, Jeremih's vocals fall a couple steps short. His rapping-sining delivery on the album's second single, "Down On Me," featuring 50 Cent, is unfortunately more in his comfort zone. It's the only cut on "All About You" that has the Chicago native dabbling in Auto-Tune and is the album's strongest record.

Even though Jeremih's vocals are a step below his counterparts' (Trey Songz, Usher), his second studio effort is decent. Production is top notch and if you enjoy R&B ballads with a modern twist or sleek slow jams then you will enjoy this album from start to finish. The album drops September 28th.

Highlights are "All About You," "Take Off," "Broken Down," "Down On Me," and "I Like."
