La moyenne, pas si bonne…

Wayne Weizhen Zhang: This is mostly dumb club music, but I can’t help but at least crack a smile given 1) the totally odd sample of what sounds like medieval French chamber music, 2) the decision to make the chorus, “Elle est bonne sa mère, elle twerk sur la piste”, and 3) the recent revelation that Vegedream named himself after a Dragonball Z character.

Edward Okulicz: The opening synth sounds like the very bad “harpsichord” preset on a very old organ my grandmother owned (which is not to say it sounds like a harpsichord at all), so I am tempted to give a lot of points for nostalgia. But the drums also sound like little sticks hitting something not suited to percussion (so not very much like drums at all) and the voices sound like.. well, you get the the picture. People actually go to effort to make something sound this cheaply incompetent.

Iain Mew: The synth string hits and rounds of processed singing add up to enough marshmallow fluff to be a new experience, if not one I’d rush to repeat. It’s a shame because in the tiny bits of more forceful sing-rapping there are hints of a more compelling new voice waiting to get out.

Will Adams: The combination of the MIDI flute and string sounds with the Auto-Tune smears of both vocalists create an appealing texture that’s enjoyable from start to finish. That’s good for the song, because there’s little to latch onto otherwise.

Kylo Nocom: Ninho and Vegedream have on their hands here an Auto-Tuned fantasy in which decadence is given a uniquely heightened drama by way of sequenced strings, and a welcome reminder for me to get back into Old School Runescape.

Tobi Tella: I liked the sound of this way more than I anticipated; the mid 2000s Auto-Tune wails completely work for me, and the beat is fun and bouncy. Unfortunately the lyrics are generic brag rap, but I’ll give them props for the range of references going from Nicki Minaj to Scarface!

Michael Hong: While it’s easy enough to enjoy the energetic bounce of the beat during Ninho’s verse, Vegedream’s impenetrably dense verse and the growing use of Auto-Tune quickly make the whole thing drag along, and “Elle est bonne sa mère” quickly loses all of its charm.
