Omarion “Speedin” is VIBES FM #16 on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart 2010.

December 16, 2010

“Speedin'” is the second single from Omarion’s third studio album, Ollusion. The song, produced by 253, debuted at number 73 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
The foundation of Speedin is its dynamic production, a simultaneously pounding and symphonic affair courtesy of frequent collaborator 253, who mercifully keeps the car-related sound effects to a minimum, but far more important to the track’s success is Omarion himself, who turns in the kind of emotional, wide-ranging vocal performance he first hinted he was capable of on Ice Box. In other words, if you thought Omarion was only capable of dance friendly r&b-pop tunes, Speedin should help put that myth to rest.

“Speedin” is on #16 on the Vibes FM songs 2010 Top 20, reports our music directors.

The music video, was thought to be a continuation of Omarion’s previous music video ‘Hoodie’, which ends with the title ‘to be continued’. The idea of the video is speeding back to love, a lost love, in the video his fiance` is shown packing her bags and telling him that she has to leave, she then leaves him with her engagement ring and his thoughts. Later in the video Omarion is seen speeding on the highway in a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder as he races against time to be together with the girl he loves. She then walks out of the house, at the exact time that Omarion walks in but the two never see each other. His love interest is portrayed by his longtime best friend, actress Malika Haqq, which caused some to speculate that the two were more than best friends and had been secretly dating for a long time. The director of the music video is Chris Stokes and co-director is Kevin Shulman.
