"I Got It Now" is the first official single by Puerto Rican-American singer Malik Jarvez, the 25 year-old has been quietly working on his music over the past year. Not a whole lot is known about this young man other than he was once married to famous model Ally Hanson with whom he has a 4 year-old son, he was also briefly linked to fellow singer Lexi Marie Taylor, but other than his dating past the guy is very ominous but with the release of this song his public profile will likely increase.
”I Got It Now” was written by Malik Jarvez and comes in at a total runtime of three minutes and two seconds. For production the 25 year-old turned to the faithful Sweeds as the track was produced by Swedish producers Peter Hammerton and Pontus Persson, whom are both renowned in Sweden for creating some of the best pop music in the past decade.
”I Got It Now” will be released independently across all major platforms on November 30th 2021. Lyrically the song talks about finally making it in whatever context the listener of the song takes it in, which is quiet fitting as a debut single as this could very well make Malik “make it” as a serious singer.
The overall sound of the song is heavily influenced by the two producers of the track as it is a full on pop rock bop, however sources close to Malik claim that the singer typically has a more alternative pop sound so perhaps the 25 year-old wanted make and release a more commercial and radio friendly song first as his debut and introduction into the music industry after all he is competing with some very big names at the moment. It is unclear weather this will be the 25 year-olds only release as no word yet has been made on weather an album or EP is coming but with Jarvez claiming to have been working on music over this past year during lockdown we can’t imagine or see why a full album isn’t on the way from the young man.
Critically the song has received mixed reviews from critics Lacy Adams of PopCrush wrote in her article. “What can I say about this debut offering, it’s pretty good but can he really sing as well as this track indicates or is studio magic at work, I’ll need to hear him live before I can make a fair judgement”. Johnathan Willis of Rolling Stone wrote “This 25 year-old has come out of nowhere with a pretty decent bop, is it the strongest song of 2021 probably not but if this is any indication of what we can expect from Jarvez in 2022 then color me excited”. Marsha Peters of Idolator gave a less favourable review giving it a 2/10 saying “At 25 years-old I’d have expected something more creative this sounds like a throw away song from any of the big boys out there in the pop world as a debut it is very lackluster, he will need to be much more creative in any follow up music to be a mainstay”. Jackson Shaw of AllMusic wrote in his article. “This guy looks like a rocker but sings pop, color me confused that aside his raspy voice makes this song stand out, lyrically I think is where the song is strongest, not that I am faulting the producers but lyrically Malik clearly knows how to write killer tracks.” Jessica Cara of Digital Spy wrote that “the song has potential to blow up on radio, it would also make a cracking Eurovision entry”. One of the best reviews came from DeLuca Jones of Metacritic wrote “For a debut this offering is catchy enough to get peoples attention, it’s also a bop about a postive topic and that we can get behind, overall cracking effort for a debut outing”. He ended his review giving the track a 7/10.
