Cher Lloyd ft. Mike Posner - “With Ur Love”
A few months ago, I was convinced Cher Lloyd was one of the worst pop acts to come out of X Factor. There was no redeeming value from “Swagger Jagger,” Unless it was meant to be some horribly aggravating joke.
But this song has made me rethink my quick dismissal of the British singer. Posner’s verse is pretty horrible, especially the ick factor of the “yummy” line, and the spelling of your is pointless, but it’s it has a fun bubbly chorus that I’ve had stuck in my head the past week. Here’s hoping Cher sticks to singing and stays away from rapping on the rest of her album.
I’m also curious to see if she mentions ‘swagger’ in every song. That must prove difficult eventually as there are only so many things you can rhyme it with.

This is one of the strongest tracks from Posner’s debut, though not as catchy as “Deja Vu.”

Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me (original mix)
Every time I hear “Cooler Than Me” on the radio, I can’t help but smile. I still remember meeting Posner for the first time in his tiny, cramped dorm room my junior year at Duke. There was a cockiness about him that I never found unappealing, because, despite the attitude, his talent actually warranted it. I still remember hearing his first few songs as they circulated around Duke, caught up by how refreshing his sound was and still is. I’m estactic over his success and can’t wait to hear the album August 10th.
