Simone & Simaria ft. Anitta – Loka

April 5, 2017

Reggaeton duo gets crazy? Ennh, possibly…

[4.33]

David Sheffieck: Enjoyable but slight; I know I’m not the target of a song about going on a girls’ night to forget a cheating boyfriend, but I wonder whether it’s a good idea to promise “crazy” when the most you’re willing to do is sound fun. The vocal tradeoffs lend the song some energy, but they can’t do it all.

Juana Giaimo: There truly is nobody better than Anitta — her voice always tender but so sensual — to join this track in which Simone & Simaria’s stronger vocals provide the right dose of passionate intensity. This is a good example of why we need more reggaeton tracks by female artists!
[7]

Iain Mew: The singers deserve better, or at least something a bit fresher-sounding with some hope of living up to the title.

Alfred Soto: I suppose it’s called “Loka” because everyone involved acknowledged the innocuousness of the results.

Will Adams: The intro’s undulating synths show promise for a song that, while perhaps not reflective of its title, is at least something. They’re quickly disposed of, though. No matter how impassioned the three singers are, the stale production (especially those drums, yikes) is a slog to get through.

Micha Cavaseno: The production here is so generic, it makes this song a chore to be enthusiastic about.
