The same can be said of the song ‘We Go Down,’ released early for those who preordered the album. It embraces the group’s familiar party feel, built on upbeat melodies and deep electronic riffs. The first single from the album is ‘Live for the Night’ which dropped earlier this year. These are all songs that propelled them into the spotlight and they’re as good now as they were then. Three of the album’s songs (Come & Get it, Alive, and Killin’ It) are more or less the exact same songs which were released on the group’s first two EPs. Thankfully after listening to all eleven songs I can say that my expectations were very much met. Their first album, ‘Get Wet’, will be released on Tuesday, September 24.Īs a Krewella fan, I can say that I had extremely high hopes for their debut record.
Krewella’s first two EPs, ‘Play Hard’ and ‘Play Harder’ did well, with their song Alive charting at 32 on the Billboard Hot 100. The group is composed of sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf (vocals) and Kris Trindl (producer), also known as Rain Main. Before even releasing an album they have performed in venues all over the world, going as far as headlining the Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida. Blossoming in 2012 out of Chicago, the group took the electronic stage by storm. It's the most "pop"-like out of all the tracks here, and it's completely unlike the rest of the album, which is nothing more than repetitive, personality-lacking electro dance crap that is nothing more than the sonic equivalent of an unpleasant drunk gangbang.Krewella might be a new name for some, but this electronic trio has been around long enough to have a dedicated fan base. If "Alive" is the only song by them you've heard up to now, then you'll be in for a surprise when you plug in Get Wet. There's really not much else I can say about Krewella they're just another inane EDM act stinking up the joint and getting some radio airplay while they're at it. Granted, the energy is minimal at most, but at least it's there. At least songs like "Killin' It" or "Enjoy the Ride" have the decency to include a little bit of energy in them. These ballads are actually somehow worse than the brash party jams, because there is absolutely no substance on any of them. Take your standard slow pop song, strip away whatever personality it had left, add some electronic elements to it, and you got yourself some of the most banal music in the EDM industry. The softer, more melodic tracks aren't that much better, either.
Repetitive hook about clubbing all night long? Check. The party rock anthems are incredibly vapid, and its lyrical content consists of everything I hate about the EDM scene. It's a reason why those two songs are Krewella's biggest hits, and it's because those are the only things they can offer. There are essentially only two types of songs on Get Wet brash, loud, Autotune-coated party anthems in the vein of "Live for the Night", or more slow, quieter snoozers like "Alive". Lines like "And if it's hard or soft before we get off, I'm gonna enjoy the ride" or "Wanna piece of this cherry pie, what you gonna make of this?" are way too blatant and explicit to be sexy, and in the end, hurts their music a lot more than it helps them. The Yousaf sisters and their lyrics are incredibly sex-based, and while I don't mind horny music (if music can turn me on, that's a pro), Krewella's attempts at being "sexy" end up sounding incredibly off-putting.

Now, none of those groups are rather good, since most of them just reuse the same EDM cliches, so why would they want to rip off them in the first place? Regardless, their success was enough for them to release a full album's worth of material, the oh-so-subtly titled Get Wet.īelieve it or not, that title actually says a lot about Krewella not only as musicians, but as what type of people they are. With acts like Avicii, Zedd, David Guetta and Icona Pop in the market, Krewella's success is baffling, especially since they pull off the same crap that those aforementioned acts do. With all the club fare over saturating the pop music scene today, it's a wonder how Krewella even got a top 40 hit in the first place. Krewella are and will always be nothing more than your standard EDM act.
