May 15, 2013There's Something 'Bout Kreay is the sound of a record company trying to turn 15 minutes of fame into a career, and spending way too much money in the process.
-
Nov 30, 2012It is the preponderance of bland dance tracks (the inane 'Go Hard (La.La.La)', 'Twerkin'' and the abysmal 'luV haus' et al) lacking the wit of her previous singles, which consign this debut to a failure.
-
Nov 30, 2012Her delivery--nasal, slightly nagging--inevitably begins to grate long before the album's running time is up. But there are points of interest that take Kreayshawn beyond empty attempts at swag.
-
Nov 30, 2012Over 13 tracks, though, Kreay's 'thing' wears waaay thin.
-
Nov 30, 2012[An] utterly vacuous, unlistenable album.
-
Nov 30, 2012These are dance songs so strident that no one could ever hope to move to them, pop songs so thin that no one could choose lines worth singing along to, rap verses so fumbly that practically anyone could rewrite them and make them better.
-
Nov 30, 2012It's not a very good listen, but it's kind of fun to watch someone be so free.
-
Nov 30, 2012The Oakland MC's debut explores her skill at giving hormonally bonkers post-Odd Future shock rap a bratty, ashtray-Madonna spin.
-
Nov 30, 2012Kreay indulges the full breadth of her influences, turning Somethin into a series of wan genre studies.
-
Nov 30, 2012There's only so much blood to be squeezed from that stone, so instead, Somethin 'Bout Kreay contents itself with using that stone to bash listeners over the head.
-
UncutNov 30, 2012Thanks to her Valley Girl charisma and omnivorous sexual gaze she mostly succeeds. [Dec 2012, p.73]
-
Nov 30, 2012It's a pop album of awful pop music.
-
Nov 30, 2012She's best when playing it kinetic and in complete violation of good taste, so whittle this one down by half for the ultimate in bird-flipping, rave-rapping, and repercussion-free living.
-
Nov 30, 2012Sure, there's Somethin 'Bout Kreay, but it's not good.
-
Nov 30, 2012The problem with Somethin' Bout Kreay is that the record is inevitably one of novelty, and it wears thin fast.
