By now everyone with a radio knows about Jason Derulo. Not only do those DJs play his songs more often than Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” (Read: Every. Other. Minute.), but homeboy really loves to sing his own name. Like, a lot.

But this is one artist whose songs I actually want to hear every ten minutes. And “Whatcha Say” and “In My Head” are just the start. Derulo’s self-titled album, which came out last week, is a Must-Know-About. It is so good I can’t even express how good it is in words. I listened to the album THREE times in a row on a recent flight to Los Angeles (helloooooo SPRING BREAK) and I’m pretty sure the woman sitting next to me was not enjoying my 5-hour dance sesh in my window seat.

Honestly, if there’s one album you are actually going to spend some money on, let it be this.

It’s the perfect pick-me-up for that early morning walk to class and your weekly (er… nightly) pre-game. Not in the mood to go for a run? Put on “Love Hangover” with your Lululemons and you will be marathon-run ready. From songs for fist pumping, to songs to to mellow you out, to songs for sexy time (to set the mood and save your roomies from hearing anything naughty), this album’s got got something for every mood.

And let’s be real – Derulo’s good looks (mmm washboard abs mmmmmm) don’t hurt, either.

This is one artist who is always In My Head. Pun intended.
