Jason Derulo Previews 'Emotional' New Album at Samsung's Made for Summer Live at 837 Finale: Exclusive

 After a summer that included headliners like French Montana, Noah Cyrus, All Time Low and Sam Hunt, Samsung 837's Made for Summer Live at 837 series needed a true hitmaker to close out the season on a high note and, luckily, had a superstar who had just dropped his latest future chart-topper hours earlier. Jason Derulo was the grande-finale performer to take the summer stage at the mobile giant's slick Meatpacking District headquarters that doubles as a sophisticated and certainly experimental space for attendees to play with new technology like 360-selfie cams, virtual reality headsets and more exclusive tech.

While Jason's set focused on his near-decade worth of hits—kicking off with his latest Top 40 smash "Swalla" before jumping to a tightly choreographed performance of "Ridin' Solo" and a croon-heavy rendition of "Talk Dirty"—the singer talked excitedly with Fuse backstage about his upcoming 777 album and future projects. From an upcoming party track fans will hear as the next album track to another he calls "one of the greatest songs I've ever written," read below to find out how Derulo's gig with Samsung 837 is the latest step in an artist following the projects, sounds and paths that excite his artistry.
