Brathwaite does open-minded sincerity much more convincingly than he does charming asshole: 'I want you to turn up every night on me when I see you,' he urges on the Drake-assisted 'Recognize' while acknowledging upfront that both he and the woman he's singing to have other lovers. He spends the majority of the album in awe of the women he sings about: 'East Liberty' teems with talk of sunset-watching and proclamations of 'forever' in less capable hands, a line like 'the ocean's calling your name' would be an eye-roller, but Brathwaite's puppy-dog earnestness-not to mention the track's woozy, dense throb-prevents it from inducing gag reflexes. In 2015, he produced three songs on Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late: “Legend”, “Preach” and “Wednesday Night Interlude”.Brathwaite has scrubbed this occasional creepiness from his sophomore effort, as PARTYNEXTDOOR TWO matches his self-assured cockiness with an increased benevolent streak. Later that year, on December 3, 2014, PartyNextDoor released the 4-track EP titled PNDColours, with the follow up COLOURS 2, released in 2017. The record featured singles like “Thirsty”, “FWU”, “East Liberty” and the Billboard charted “Recognize”, featuring Drake. His debut studio album PartyNextDoor Two was released on July 30, 2014. He performed background vocals on “Own It” and “Come Thru” from Drake’s third studio album, Nothing Was the Same. It entered on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart at number six with sales of 2,000 copies and peaked at number 34 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for the week of July 20, 2013.

His first mixtape, PartyNextDoor, was released to the iTunes Store on July 1, 2013. Having made electronic-infused R&B under his real name Jahron Brathwaite, he signed a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell as a songwriter, under the name PartyNextDoor, at age 18. He has also seen success as a songwriter, having penned “Work”, which was released on Rihanna’s album Anti and peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100, along with more songs such as “Wild Thoughts” which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.Ĭareer beginnings and debut album (2007–2014): PartyNextDoor has collaborated with a number of artists, including Drake, Big Sean and Jeremih. He subsequently released PartyNextDoor Two and PNDColours in 2014 and PartyNextDoor 3 in 2016. He then released his first EP self-titled PartyNextDoor later that year.
