Truth be told, if Jero did R'n'B he wouldn't really get as much attention. There are too many R'n'B artists out there these days that it's hard for anyone (outside of the usual fan circle) to really distinguish the differences between all the artists.

Jero seems interesting and seems like he is seeking an untapped niche for foreign artists. The song was nice, and he has a good voice, but we'll just see if he can stay afloat with this strategy. The PV was intriguing with the hip hop flair going on yet his vocals/the song totally did not match the PV (but I guess that was their intention).
