Every week in the past, Starship Leisure’s new lady group KiiiKiii pre-released their first monitor I Do Me, prompting a lukewarm response from me and lots of others who wished the group wouldn’t play issues so secure. Watch out what you want for, I assume, as a result of they’re again with one other pre-release — satirically titled Debut Track.
I’m unsure I’ve ever encountered a music like this from a significant label earlier than. It is a robust one, as a result of so far as I can inform, Debut Track isn’t meant to be taken severely. Its garishness is a characteristic, not a bug. At the least, I hope that’s the case. It seems like I’d be perpetuating the joke by giving it a poor score, however the music is legitimately terrible. On Debut Track, the world of web memes and pop music have turn into intrinsically linked to the purpose the place you possibly can’t inform the distinction. I assume the monitor is mildly humorous the primary time by means of, however like most memes it teeters into obnoxiousness the extra it’s performed.
Once more, it feels foolish to harp on the music’s annoying “Blissful Birthday” interpolation, tacky rap phrasing and “cake, cake, cake” hooks. That is clearly a advertising technique to immediate consideration, so I’ll play proper into their palms and provides it the horrible score they’re on the lookout for. Nonetheless, it’s price declaring {that a} understanding, “wink wink” horrible is nowhere close to as enjoyable as an honest-to-god earnest horrible.
