Per week in the past, Starship Leisure’s new woman group KiiiKiii pre-released their first observe I Do Me, prompting a lukewarm response from me and plenty of others who wished the group wouldn’t play issues so protected. Watch out what you would like for, I assume, as a result of they’re again with one other pre-release — mockingly titled Debut Music.
I’m undecided I’ve ever encountered a tune like this from a significant label earlier than. It is a powerful one, as a result of so far as I can inform, Debut Music isn’t meant to be taken critically. Its garishness is a characteristic, not a bug. Not less than, I hope that’s the case. It seems like I’d be perpetuating the joke by giving it a poor score, however the tune is legitimately terrible. On Debut Music, the world of web memes and pop music have change into intrinsically linked to the purpose the place you may’t inform the distinction. I assume the observe is mildly humorous the primary time by way of, however like most memes it teeters into obnoxiousness the extra it’s performed.
Once more, it feels foolish to harp on the tune’s annoying “Completely happy 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 arms and provides it the horrible score they’re on the lookout for. Nevertheless, it’s value declaring {that a} realizing, “wink wink” horrible is nowhere close to as enjoyable as an honest-to-god earnest horrible.
