    Lyrically foreseeable and foreseeably stupid.
    Badly produced.
    This is why his albums always sell a lot less of his singles. A method to avoid this? Put in it some famous artists: K. Michelle? She tries to make it better. Meghan Trainor? Hell no. Steve Wonder and Keith Urban? Useless. Jennifer Lopez? She actually sounds a bit more fresh than usual. Julia Michaels, who is probably    Lyrically foreseeable and foreseeably stupid.

    Julia Michaels, who is probably the less know featured artist in "Everything is 4", gave the most appreciable contribute.

    The worst songs are 'Pull Up' and 'X2CU' (even if the end is OK). The other are slightly less despicable.

    Is it catchy? Yes, it is. Has he a nice ass? Yes, he has. Is this album worth it to listen? No, unless you are a bored dumb blonde girl.

    The thing that baffles me the most are the 16 producers. The production sounds remedied and disappointingly mediocre. Since when Danja produces so cheesy?    … Expand

    For all its blatantly ill-conceived moments, there's something charming about the sheer audacity of Derulo's often bizarre choices. Even when it falls flat, there is character here.

    On Everything Is 4, some songs give him newfound definition, but then others distract from it.

    Occasionally, the more ambitious nature of Everything Is 4 reveals some of Derulo's weaknesses, like his insistence on indulging straight R&B (which feels basic compared to the unique mode of genre-bending he usually works in), but stretching musically also leads to arguably the most exciting moment here, the funk rave-up of album-closer "X2CU."
