Soulja Boy’s New Single Tries To Super Soak Our Hearts
Presenting the bathetic follow up to “Crank That,” as teen hip-hop phenom Soulja Boy discovers puppy love and evidences some neurological impairment that forces him to shout his trademark “YOOOOOOOOU” uncontrollably over the smooth R&B chorus. If the song’s squeaky, repetitive slow-jam synth-hook is as evil on the first play as “Beautiful Girls” was by the tenth, the mumbly “Soulja Girl” and its grating, demo-quality keyboard patches lack even the old-school ear-pleasing qualities Sean Kingston’s producers got when they swiped the melody from “Stand By Me.” And it’s currently YouTube’s No. 3 most-played clip, so forewarned if you plan on turning on your radio in the next few months.
