New woman group VVS have dropped two pre-releases, each of which have landed with a uninteresting thud on this weblog. Now, it’s time for his or her official debut. Given its predecessors, D.I.M.M doesn’t have massive expectations to reside as much as. That is to its profit, because the music is just not significantly good.

One of the best factor I can say about D.I.M.M is that it dispenses with the tacky gimmicks that made each Tea and Purrfect so irritating. As an alternative, the music makes an attempt to color VVS as hardcore rappers. From its undulous trap-meets-electro manufacturing to the cringey “I obtained them diamonds in my mouth” refrain and foolish cursing, D.I.M.M is very confrontational and totally joyless. It’s not that idol teams can’t construct their sound round hip-hop. Many efficiently have prior to now. However a music like this feels prefer it’s attempting so arduous to persuade its viewers of one thing we all know this trade doesn’t possess. Hip-hop thrives on lived expertise and authenticity. Compared, D.I.M.M comes throughout as parody.

And greater than something, this music simply isn’t enjoyable to hearken to. There’s an anger laced all through the complete observe, and never in a intelligent, cathartic method that invitations you to hitch in on the vibe. It’s simply an airing of grievances painted with dangerous posturing.
