"Down To Earth" is a diverse collection of songs, which Jem wrote and produced with hip-hop producer Jeff Bass, one of the two brothers credited with discovering Eminem, and producer Lester Mendez (Shakira, Santana and Nelly Furtado). A press release states, "The album reflects the singer/songwriters far-ranging influences including Brazilian percussion on the title track, Detroit Gospel choirs, a Stevie Wonder inspired 'Crazy' complete with funky banjo, and the tempestuous Latin-flavored track 'I Want You To' a collaboration originally earmarked for a solo album by turntable whiz Cut Chemist."
"On Top Of World" is a beautifully melodic and soothing track that prominently features Jem's warm, ethereal timbre. Kinda angelic sounding actually. This is not the patchwork style that marked Jem's first album. Instead she presents a mature and evolved sound on this track that is clearly aiming for contemporary radio.
