Here's
an example of what the world needs less of: twee, novelty covers of rap
songs by cutesy indie duos. Not only does Karmin's "cover" suck the
vibrant life out of Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now," but it does so with a
knowing, smary attitude. (Amy Heidmann's strange vocal inflections and
bug-eyed emphasis scream, "This is funny! I shouldn't be singing this
but look ... I am!") This cover offers nothing new other than a
Starbucks-ready version of a song that should never be played at
Starbucks.
