R&B artist Christian Berishaj, better known as JMSN, returns with “So Badly,” the second single from his upcoming album, ‘Velvet.’ 

“You know I love you so madly / And I want it so badly everyday / You know I love you so madly / You know I can’t live this way… I just can’t wait another day.”  Clearly, Christian Berishaj, better known as JMSN, is “in his feelings,” not to mention thinking beyond the emotions on “So Badly.”  “So Badly” is the second single from his forthcoming album, Velvet, following the superb single, “Talk is Cheap”. Once more, Berishaj doesn’t disappoint in the least.

As always, JMSN keeps things hella soulful.  This is authentic, legit, throwback R&B – more artists should try it sometimes.  Anyways, he sings his face off, compelling with his silky-smooth falsetto, fueled by the power of both love and sex.  Interestingly, on the first verse, he questions his abilities to please his lover because basically, she “got some real sex appeal, and I’m not a man of steel.” When he addresses his lover about his confidence concerns, she blames herself, but he’s still self-conscious.  Definitely deeper than sex.

Final Thoughts

Listening to “So Badly,” it makes you long for the same things Berishaj desires – relatable to the nth degree. Even his concerns about being able to satisfy his lover is something that’s not explored nearly enough in popular music – he nails it.  Basically, as you listen to “So Badly,” it’s incredibly easy to get into one’s own feelings, thinking about that boy or girl you’re totally infatuated with, and only want to please.  Another well-written, well-sung number by this painfully underrated musician.  Don’t sleep on JMSN y’all.
