Get To Know Rising Star - Jerrod Azaad - & His Newest Release “Put It Down"
Put It Down started as just a fun Pop song. Producer, Dreez, sent Jerrod Azaad this track around last Christmas Eve. Once Azaad heard the beat, he almost instantaneously started writing lyrics. They went through a few different versions of the song, but together, decided to implement R&B elements while still keeping true to its dance music roots.
Lyrically, inspiration for the theme came from Sade’s single Is It A Crime. Azaad went on to explain that in comparison, “the lover in both songs has an unshakeable hold on our hearts and we illustrate a picture of the depths of our undying love. I wanted to take the topic into a more upbeat realm. Creating a light-hearted approach while retaining its sensual appeal.”
Musically, the first 20 seconds highlight a catchy beat and a female vocal that will surely draw you in. Jerrod Azaad continues to make a name for himself and you can hear the influences of Chris Brown and The Weeknd guiding his way through this musical journey.
