It's hard to believe that almost a decade passed in between studio albums for someone as ubiquitous as Jason Derulo. Between 2015's Everything Is 4 and 2024's Nu King, the pop star released a slew of well-received singles and collaborations that kept him busy on the charts and social media, but teased full-lengths with titles like 777 and 2Sides never appeared, as it was revealed that he had left his label. So when Nu King arrived, there was clearly a lot of ground to cover, resulting in over two dozen tracks that more than make up for lost time. Reaching back as far as 2017, Derulo was sure to include his biggest hits from the almost-decade: platinum smashes such as "Swalla" with Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign, "Tip Toe" with French Montana, "Savage Love" with Jawsh 685, "Take You Dancing," "Love Not War" with Nuka, "Acapulco," and "Jalebi Baby" with Tesher are all here, giving his 2016 Platinum Hits set a run for its money. The guest list balloons with Michael Buble, YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Gucci Mane, Quavo, Adam Levine, Dido, David Guetta, Meghan Trainor, and more, lending an already eye-popping collection even more punch. Of the songs that weren't released in the years prior, the best of the bunch sound like sleek, synth-funk variations on the Weeknd's contemporary output; on the other hand, the more forgettable fare -- it's hard to stand out when surrounded by so much competition! -- reminds listeners of much-better R&B-flavored 2020s K-pop. Overall, it's understandable that Derulo had to play catch-up by putting so much onto one release, but Nu King might have packed a more direct punch with some editing and artistic focus. Regardless, he's a master of the dancefloor and can keep a party going, which is likely enough for longtime fans.
