KREWELLA
Krewella is one of those love 'em or hate 'em electronic acts. Formed in 2007, they wouldn't take off until 2012 with their release of the
Play Hard EP. In 2013, they would release their first full-length studio album,
Get Wet. Originally a trio, Krewella was comprised of sister singer-songwriters Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf, as well as Kris "Rain Man" Trindl, the producer for the group. "Rain Man" would later leave the group, suing the two sisters for $5 million. The whole thing was rather public, which you can read here:
Krewella's Jahan Yousaf Op-Ed: Deadmau5 Saved Me From Going Into Porn. As you can tell by the title, Deadmau5 felt it necessary to insert himself in the brouhaha, which has become his schtick within the electronic community as of late.
But enough about all of that, let's get to the music.
Their biggest hit:
Krewella - "Alive"
It's nice, solid, cheesy dance-pop.
Krewella - "Can't Control Myself"
Some more variation here in the instrumental. This is an electro-house banger.
Krewella - "Come And Get It" [Razihel Remix]
I prefer the remix for this one.
Krewella - "Human"
Has some acoustic guitars. An emotional song.
Krewella - "Killing It"
A club banger.
Krewella - "We Go Down"
Krewella - "Play Hard"
The lyrics to "Play Hard" are like most of Krewella's lyrics: immature. Still, I like the music.
Krewella - "One Minute" [DotEXE's Dopest Dope Remix]
Finishing off things with an awesome remix from DotEXE. This is drumstep, a subgenre of drum & bass.
