Hey guys, LokoReviews here and I got something to say about girl groups:
When it comes to Girl groups, I always get a negative reaction to them. I'm not saying that I hate girl groups or think their the worst thing ever, I'm just saying that they don't stick around for a very long time and most of them have been forgotten. The only girl groups that I can think of that are still being talked today are Spice Girls and Destiny Child. As for the other girl groups, they been wiped out of the mainstream and haven't been heard since. So all this brings us to our new girl group, Fifth Harmony. And let me say, that Fifth Harmony is a pretty bland and mediocre group. Their music are just basic and generic pop slock that anybody can make. The only song I actually like from is "Boss" and that's because Fifth Harmony showed at least some personality and the song is pretty fun to listen to. But as for their other songs, it's just standard pop tracks. A perfect example of how generic their music is, here is their new single; Worth It ft. Kid Ink.
The song starts off with this 1950's inspired saxophone driven riff and right there begins my many main problems I have with this song. Now usually, I don't mind if a song have a saxophone part in it. Heck, some of my all time favorite songs have a saxophone included in. Now my problem I have with that is not because it have a saxophone including in, but how blantley obvious it's trying to be just like Jason Derulo's "Talk Dirty". Heck, this whole song is basically like "Talk Dirty" but with a kind of slowed down saxophone riff and no douchy lyrics added in. Also I don't know what's going on, but why are most artist now-a-days adding in saxophone & horns into their tracks? I know "Talk Dirty" got successful and helped bring those instruments back into the mainstream, but trying to ride off that song success aren't going to help these artist out. This song is not the only one who is riding this train fest, Flo Rida's "GDFR" is another song that uses the same formula. Even if "Worth It" didn't have that Saxophone part added in at all, the rest of the production is also not anything good. When the verses come, this 2 notes bouncy synth added in with clappy percussion start playing and they don't really add any contribute to this song other than the producers trying to find way to make the song sound interesting. Another thing I have a problem with the production is the build up to the drop. This build up is equivalent to SpongeBob trying to pick up an Anchor, because you know; it's weak as hell. Not only that the build up is weak, but the drop is also weak as well. The beat is drowned out by the saxophone riff, which by the is loud and up front. Also the beat doesn't have enough energy to get me at least pumped up. Overall, the production in this song really frustrates me the most about this song because Fifth Harmony knew what they were trying to do with it but the execution and timing were just off. As for the other the parts of this song, they are just non-existent or even interesting enough for me to talk about. The lyrics are basically about sex and how Fifth Harmony wants these guys to give it to them because they think they're worth all of that. Kid Ink is barely even noticeable in this track, all he does is just give out the bridge 2 times in this track and he's gone. He doesn't have no rap verse or do anything interesting, that is literally all he does. Fifth Harmony could have added in any rapper they wanted to and they would have gotten the same results. So adding in Kid Ink into this song was pretty pointless for them to do. As for Fifth Harmony and performance wise, this has to got to be their worst I heard from them. Only 2 singers got to do the verses and they were both atrocitious. They both did that unnecessary awkward pause every time they end a line, which is very annoying and makes them sound out of breath. As for the hook, I only heard 3 people sing and there are like 5 members in the group. Were the other 2 members too tired to sing or were they too embarrassed to even be a part of this mess of song, I'm going for the latter on that one.
Overall, this song sucks. Fifth Harmony tried to make this song interesting as possible by adding in a saxophone and including a guest rapper. But the outcome just fell flat down on its face. Nothing about that song is interesting, other than being a "Talk Dirty" ripoff. I know most you guys think I chose an easy song to destroy, but I'm just tired of hearing these saxophone driven tracks being used in the mainstream and I'm also tired of hearing this awful excuse of a song. This song is not the worst song I heard this year so far, but it's close of making it onto a special list that is coming in December. So overall, this song is just trash and it's sad that this is Fifth Harmony's only song that will ever touched the top 20. What A Shame! :(
Well, that's it for my review of "Worth It". Tell me what do you think about this song and let me know if you enjoyed this review. Thanks for checking this out and I'll see you guys later. So this is James Kaloko and everybody in the world, just stay loco. Peace!!!
