[LP] JHAMEEL takes BERNAL to new HEIGHTS, and HOW! MANY people will be LOVERS of this album.
if there were ever moments when i felt the rhythm of life it was as fleeting as i, plus i never look back
Hopefully you all remember Jhameel from his solid debut I covered last year. An intriguing character with some unique musical stylings, he’s dropped another free album, The Human Condition, on us and I’m quite pleasantly impressed. His musicianship is tighter, his hooks catchier, and lyrics even sharper. “Bernal Heights” is an instant ear turner, with that swinging rhythm weaving between the creeping, stomping beat, while Jhameel’s perfectly punctuated vocals ground it all. Even though the song has an ominous vibe I still get the sense that Jhameel is having a lot a fun with his music. This feeling is never more prevalent than on the next track, the twangy, bouncy ode to herb, “THC.” Even makes a non smoker like me want to toke up, especially if it was with this guy.
Jhameel’s good spirits continue even into unlikely territory. Singing as the hyper-paranoid new boyfriend in “How Many Lovers” he still sounds like he is having a blast and somehow knows that he is not only over-thinking things but that it will all probably work out.
♫ Jhameel – The Human Condition
Don’t let me fool you into thinking that The Human Condition is all fun and games, Jhameel tackles some heavy personal topics and handles them all with insight and openness. Other standout tracks are album opener “Until The Forrest Knows” and the title track, although the whole album is fantastic and it was not easy picking which ones I wanted to post here. Luckily Jhameel is offering The Human Condition as a free download so you can just dive right in. Rightfully so, he is also accepting donations so if you are loving this album as much as me then throw some change his way. Great art should be rewarded.

I FREAKIN LOVE THIS ALBUM I saw him sing live here in sf and he was really good
Jhameel is a super talented artist and a great performer. You all should definitely BUY his album. He’s an artist worth supporting.
Lately, Jhameel’s been dominating the soundtrack of my life. He’s taking his sound in a great direction. Buy his album. Keep him writing. He needs your love.
It’s an absolutely stunning work. Take a moment to download listen, and share
Seriously awesome, I pity the fool that doesn’t listen to this album
This album is so diverse and catchy, it really projects Jhameel’s multifaceted talents… download it, donate, and see his shows!
Damn, this is sick.
Jhameel is sexy beyond belief. And oh so mysterious. The album is ear tinglingly gratifying.
I liked the lyrical take on how many lovers, very interesting.
Man, I can’t stop listening to this. I had the privilege of seeing him with a full band at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, and I think one of my feet is STILL tapping. Intensely catchy.
Yeah, that’s ok I guess. Why not just write your own review, though?
Isn’t making awesome decisions fun!
Nice! I’d love to see a Jhameel show.
Preach it, brother.
Agreed.
That would be quite a foolish mistake, indeed.
And in that order!
yeah, damn good.
Somebody has a cruuuuuushhh! But fair enough, right.
Not sure if you are talking about his lyrics or my take on them but either way, thanks for commenting!
Privilege is a good word. I’m jealous.

Thanks for getting the word out because everyone should know about Jhameel. Not only is he gorgeous, a genius, can play any instrument, and even non-instruments, has an incredibly sexy voice, writes super catchy yet profound songs, but he is also A REALLY SWEET GUY!
