Having heard the acoustic version of ‘Enjoy the Ride’ before the full-fledged electronic dance ballad that it is, I was unsure if it would live up to its beautiful stripped down version. The two tracks that follow are ‘We Go Down’ and ‘Come and Get It’ followed by the incredible ‘Enjoy the Ride’. Like many of their previous songs ‘Live for the Night’ features Krewella’s ‘party hard’ attitude as well as loosing their inhibitions. The album starts on a high note with ‘Live for the Night’ which combines their rough signature dubstep orientated music with pop-inspired instrumental break downs. Having been a follower of their music since their EP titled ‘Play Hard’ I had high expectations of ‘Get Wet’ and I was definitely not disappointed. Having gained inspiration from the likes of EDM artists Skrillex and Dead Mouse, the trio manage to deliver a new take on EDM music emphasising the need for well-crafted lyrics as well as well-produced tracks. The EDM trio’s debut album demonstrates that they are not only influenced by the hard, rough sounds of electronic music but also the softer sounds of pop rock music which are also featured on the album. The album is packed with carefully chosen lyrics, catchy tunes and high-energy dance numbers that you would expect to find in a club. If you are a fan of good music that you can dance to on a Friday night than this is the album for you.
Krewella hails from Chicago and is made up of sisters Jahan and Yasmine Yousef and Kris Trindl, otherwise known as ‘Rainman’. If you are in the mood to party, need a pick-me-up, want some pumping gym music then I suggest you make your way off to Krewella’s soundcloud account and preview their songs to find your musical soul mate.The aptly named ‘Get Wet’ is the debut album that was released on September the 24th from the electronic DJing trio Krewella. In an interview on the Denver Post, Jahan Yousaf said that she would like to stick to a schedule of making one album a year following the release of “Get Wet.” It had taken about two years to complete. Fans of Krewella, known as part of the “Krew” have been patiently waiting for the album and to be released. Krewella has said that their influences include Blink 182 and Fall Out Boy, which made working with them an exciting experience. “Enjoy the Ride” plays on sexual innuendos but with its sugary piano melody and melodic chorus one can’t help but feel nostalgic and adventurous. Most of the songs in the album like “Come and Get it” and “Killin It” are hard club pumping anthems, yet there are songs that capture a more emotional and deep sensation. The title of the album is said to describe the wild nights Krewella have been apart of, where they spray bottles of water into the crowd but also to capture their own sexual personalities. Since then the group has been making remixes for the likes of Skrillex, Zedd and Fall Out Boy, collaborating with as well as releasing chart topping singles like “ Alive” and “Come and Get It,” both of which are on their new album. The writing process generally involves the two sisters writing the lyrics and singing vocals and Rain Man producing the banging beats. Younger sister Yasmine was then persuaded out of her indie music to join the team. The group started out when on one drunken night in school, Rain Man and Jahan met and started writing music. Their debut album “ Get Wet” captures their sexual personalities and pulse energy with their captivating lyrics, sweet vocals and filthy bass. One of my favourite groups in the EDM scene, Krewella has torn up the party scene with their live performances and their mix of house, dubstep and drum and bass.
Sweat, sex and energy are words that describe the electronic dance music (EDM) group from Chicago made up of the vocalist song writing sisters Jahan and Yasmine and producer Kris, aka Rain Man.
