I’m in a coffee shop, so screencapping the video was out of the question.

Brad Shoup: Last year, Konshens hit big in our house with “Gal a Bubble,” which saw the usual wining invocation nearly drowned out by an obliviously chattering robot harpsichord. “Jiggle” is disappointingly chill, explosions notwithstanding. The alien wah actually works in a middling tempo; it’s about the only thing here that could generate a jiggle.

Alfred Soto: Well, in point of fact, it doesn’t jiggle at all.

Daniel Montesinos-Donaghy: Bless Konshens — not only did he decide to release an ode to the skettle affix just in time for spring, he also decided to appeal to awkward-living dancehall fans by paying tribute to one of the unsexiest words in the English language. The mere repetition of “jiggle! jiggle! jiggle!” gives the track an unexpectedly homely vibe, the choice of language so defiantly unsexual that it seems funny — even charming. Musically, it feels destined to be a placeholder between bigger, slacker anthems; what gives “Jiggle” its identity is Konshens’ glee to sound in a state of dorky disbelief as he realises he’s going to get laid, from the aforementioned song title to howling “bend over, NO!/that is an HONOUR!!!”

Jonathan Bogart: Sure, the world needs twerk anthems, but isn’t it more fun when it’s not just a list of instructions?

Will Adams: If I ever teach a composition class, I will use this song as a good example of text painting that is not just a high “high” or a low “low.”

Katherine St Asaph: No results found for “jiggle.” Did you mean: chill, lollygag, putz around?
