    Their debut delivers seven tracks of adorkable hip-pop originals. [11 May 2012, p.67]

    On its official debut, Karmin sidesteps creative expectations by simply sounding like every other pop act going.

    Karmin can make you hate pop music.

    There's always a sense that she and Noonan believe they're lowering themselves to sing pop music, that they are better, smarter, funnier than the music they're making...and that alienating smug entitlement is impossible to shake even when the productions are appealing, as they are through half of Hello.

A couple months passed and my girlfriend was listening to a catchy, fast-talking song. It was Karmin, and I gave them another shake. I LOVE about 4 songs on this album, and the others are just okay. Like the quirky use of sounds on some of the songs.… Expand

    Talk about hate, Boston duo Karmin seem to be hated by all the critics being called annoying and unoriginal, which does stink for theTalk about hate, Boston duo Karmin seem to be hated by all the critics being called annoying and unoriginal, which does stink for the newcomers. Karmin releases their EP "Hello" after their hit "Brokenhearted" became a hit, and I disagree with what the critics are saying about "Hello" because I enjoyed it, even if it's just an EP. Karmin has potential but this EP doesn't give me a whole lot to talk about, but I enjoyed nearly all the songs on here (though maybe one or two songs could've been used for their first big album) "Walking On the Moon" was a fresh spin on Pop/Hip-Hop with cool beats and good flow (if slightly stupid lyrics) but it could be a song that'll make people laugh in a bad way. Other songs include "I Told You So" "Too Many Fish" and "Hello" that are fun little songs to listen to. The problem for me is that I wished I got more, it probably wasn't the best idea to release an EP before you're first big release. Also some of the Lyrics are a little laughable, it seems like their trying to appeal to tweens and young adult hipsters. But I enjoyed "Hello" as I thought it was a good EP and I'm curious to know more about Karmin after listening to this. Now stop with all the negativity.… Expand

    As their EP's breakthrough lead single, "Brokenhearted", can exemplify, Karmin are charismatic and capable of making irresistible popAs their EP's breakthrough lead single, "Brokenhearted", can exemplify, Karmin are charismatic and capable of making irresistible pop melodies, however, the rest of Hello focuses on catapulting lead vocalist Amy as a rapper, which turns out to be the EP - and this duo's - biggest downfall. Lyrical content is underwhelming and often laughable, as proven in its second single "I Told You So". Let's hope criticism steers this Sonny and Cher-wannabe couple into the right direction.… Expand
